112: Still More Baby Clothes

The last of Coley's summer stuff, now that the weather has turned irredeemably chilly.

111: Misc. Board Games

A few board games we've picked up at yard sales that have not been as fun to play as they look like they might. The stack is out in the Invisibox and the only two I can remember are Grabbin' Dragons (they don't REALLY grab the little plastic rings, try as you might) and Flying Eagles (booooooring). Nuttsy Tennis though, that's a keeper.

110: WIne Chiller

I was inpired by that down with duplicates comment from yesterday, so I am scouting out other things we have more than one of. First up, this wine chiller. It's my less favorite of the two we own, neither of which we really use because we rarely drink white wine. We're red wine people, and we don't need no equipment for drinking our cabernet. The only reason I'm not giving the other one away as well is that sometimes I use it to hold flowers.

109: Stadium Bag

As much as I love the idea of this stadium bag -- it's an insulated zippered carry bag with blanket, for, you know, picnicking before The Big Game -- I don't see how we'll ever use it. We already have picnic blankets. We already have coolers, in spades. Down with duplicates!

108: Tinker Toys

As chief procurer for this family I have a pretty good idea as to the origins of most of our possessions, but these Tinker Toys baffle me. Anyway, I have given them to Jack several times, and he has been deeply frustrated by them each time -- these aren't actual Tinker Toy brand Tinker Toys but some knockoff, and the pieces are difficult to fit to gether even for an adult. So, let somebody else's four year old scatter them from hell to breakfast in THEIR living room -- I've picked these puppies up for the last time.

107: Little Tikes Walker

Forgot I even had this stashed out in the studio and, lo and behold, Cole is walking just fine without it. Going to donate it to the young family support center.

106: Mini Cooler

Whittling down the cooler population, one at a time. This one is a small lunch sized one and it turns out people actually want those, so, woo hoo! We actually got rid of a cooler!
