Day 201 - Bigger Than a Bread Box

This series of photos includes various items that either wouldn't fit well in my 'normal' pictures for ProjectTwentySix or that I simply got rid of singly and needed to snap a quick picture.

I love these multi-picture posts! 

1 to 7. Here is a train toy I bought at a friend's garage sale thinking my kids would love it.  They did, but we have another train and it didn't make sense to keep two.  I sold this one in last weekend's garage sale and made $2 profit.

8. This is a very fun and noisy vaccum that has Cookie Monster rumbling or Elmo shrieking about vaccuming when it gets played with.  We gave it to DD#2 for her 3rd birthday when she was in love with Elmo.  Just time to let it go.  Also sold at the garage sale.
9. A throw pillow one of the girls green markered on and
10. A pillow one of the girls made at a kid party.  Both of these were taken from the free box and the garage sale.
11 & 12. Pandas that were in the basement guest closet.
13. A glass elephant I gave my sister back in March for her birthday - she loves elephants.
14. A poofy, purple dress I bought for DD#1 first birthday photo shoot.  This was passed down to my cousin's baby, Edy.
15 & 16.  This hammering toy was purchased two Christmases ago for DD#3 when I was searching around for anything we didn't have already that I could give her. You can imagine the problem this could be with 4 daughters in a 5 year span. 
17. A Tinkerbell backpack that was handed down to us and that DD#1 totally loved and carted around everywhere.  This has been to Hawaii, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, California about 6 times, and Oregon about 15.  It was well-used, so much that I put it in the free box at the garage sale and no one wanted it.
18. This is a fun farm toy.  Our church nursery has the same model and as we're there about 3 mornings a week I figured the girls could enjoy those ones.

19. A box of packing peanuts.  Amazingly, someone bought these for $1 at the garage sale.  I intended to recycle it at a packaging store, but hadn't gotten around to it when the garage sale weekend was upon us.

20. The girls broke this adorable umbrella.  Bummer.

21. Packaging for a fun kid's book I'm putting in the garage sale
22. Jacket to an outfit I'm putting in the garage sale
23 to 25. Packing for Robeez shoes I'm putting in the garage sale

26. Wooden cradle that my aunt painted for the girls.  We have three doll cradles and this was the largest so now we're down to two smaller ones.

Day 197 - Cassette Tapes in the Car

I'm finally going through the box of junk that's been on our office floor since the first of November when we sold our old car.  The box included these 26 cassette tapes.  I had a great time remembering the mix tapes, in particular the "Mr. Wendall Mix" which was my favorite.  There are a couple of kids tapes and several John Piper sermons a friend, Eric Riddle, gave me literally 9 years ago.  Crazy!

Day 196 - Office Cleanup!

Here is DD#4 having more fun in the office.  DH and I worked all day on Memorial Day getting papers sorted and things shifted so we could move his desk in.  For over 2 years we have had our computers on a folding 6 foot table so moving the desks in is a big deal.  So far we just did DH's, but it was a doozy having to be dissembled then put together again. 

All of these papaers were also shredded or recycled or both.  We pay DD#1 $.01 for each paper she shreds. =^)

Day 195 - IRS Forms

This is a huge pile of papers, mostly old IRS forms that DD#4 had a great time flinging into the hallway.  The french door on the right is the office door.

It's definitely at least 26 things and I emptied several file folders.
