Day 271 - Stuffed Animals

Gah!  Somehow I didn't get a photo of this.  I had them all arranged on my bed but I guess I didn't snap a photo before I distributed everything to consignment, donate, and garage sale.  I don't want to reassemble it all because it's 10:50 pm and I want to go to bed. 

I purposefully waited to select these 26 because my kids would have freaked.  But I had every stuffed animal in the house bagged up for 6 weeks and they haven't asked for them even once.  They were bagged due to the headlice for 2 weeks and I just didn't get to unpacking them because of harvest things and travel.  Tonight I unpacked one bag (of 6), the one with stuffed animals.

I got rid of 26 items including a pelican toy with 3 seafood treats, lots of beanie babies, a couple of souvenir-type animals, some baby loves, an Elmo puppet, a quacking duck puppet, a run-around-mouse cat toy, a monkey, a kangaroo with joey, and lots of others, obviously. 

I kept 16 items - most very small and licensed characters.  Minnie Mouse, Elmo, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie mouse, Angelina, Super Grover, Tigger, Curious George, and that little turtle from Finding Nemo.  All of these are the size of Beanie Baby.  Then there are a few other "special" ones I kept, like a chipmunk, a dragon, a talking elephant, DD#2's special Whiskers cat, etc.  The remaining stuffed toys take up 30% of the space they used to.   This is after I've already weeded out stuffed toys several times, some on Day 230 and Day 156. 

Really sorry the picture didn't turn out!
