Writing about all the big & little things

Finding old treasures…

We were packing away the beach supplies the other day and I found a bag with “something” in it.  I was clever enough to store whatever it was in an air tight bag so I knew it was clean the next time I wanted it.  Unfortunately I put it inside a BLACK garbage bag, making it very difficult to guess what it was.  😀   oops.

We were all (especially Chloe and Josiah) happy to discover what was hiding in the bag!

It's the "Inflatable Ball Thingy!" There's a spot to drop the balls in the top and they come roooooooollllllliiiiiinnnnggg down.

We had this when Chloe was younger and she loved it--especially when her cousins were around to play with her in it. So this time around is awesome since Josiah always has Chloe to play with!

And speaking of old treasures… I’m on a mission this fall to get rid of the extra “junk” floating around in our house.  I’m calling it the “Fall 500 Purge.”  I’m going to throw away 250 items and give away 250 items.  I suppose if I’m really ambitious I could have a garage sale… but we’ll see what kind of things I find… and how long it takes me…  As of right now I’m up to 12 toss / 27 give.  I have a ways to go!

    In a crazy coincidence, I just finished reading 7:An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker and was so inspired that I was thinking that I should spend next week finding things that we could give away.
