Laundry Troubles

I learned a valuable lesson today! If it sounds like there is a toy in the dryer .... it's probably because there is a toy in the dryer.

Better a toy car than crayons in the pocket, though. Crayons in the pocket happened to us about a year ago and it was a disaster. They fall out in the dryer, they melt, and then they create distress. I had to throw away some clothes and scrub out the machine. Now I always check the pockets.

But apparently somehow a toy car slipped past my radar. Not once but twice - into the washer and then the dryer.

So, now for the reason that I am doing mad laundry today:


 

 
I just signed up for the Just Between Friends Eagan sale going on March 14th - 16th. I haven't done the Eagan sale yet, just the Edina/Hopkins one. But the timing was right.
 
Let me break this down for you. Spencer has a walk-in closet. No, a three year old does not need a walk-in closet, but he has one. Whatever. And over the past three years, that walk-in closet has slowly accumulated all of our out-grown clothing, broken and boring toys, stained burp cloths (ew) and every other baby-type thing you can think of. (Because if you can think of it, we have it.)
 
In April, we are moving. To a house that most certainly does not boast walk-in closets. Although it does boast some other great features, closets are where it falls short. So. Time to get rid of crap!
 
Enter the JBF sale! I wash and dry and clean and assemble on hangers. I make my own tags, set my own prices. It's kind of a lot of work. But then I bring it all to a school gymnasium in Eagan and then I sit back and watch the cash money flood in. And oh, does it flood in. You ain't never got no money like this at Once Upon A Child. I'm talking hundreds of dollars back for all your gently used and like-new baby goods.
 
Anyway, here are more details and a link to the website. Time for me to pack some more boxes!
