These shoes were used for walkin'.

I'm still not certain how anyone can hand shoes down— our girls certainly manage to wear theirs out! (Orange bin)

Seasonal Change-over

Doing the standard seasonal change-over (as our heat kicked on this week) is a great time to pull clothes out that aren't worth packing away. All the clothes went to the Orange recycling bin.

• T2's favorite yellow dress bites the dust as I can't remove the paint stains after four separate attempts (with all kinds of stain removers)
• 3 more stained dresses
• 3 frayed outfits and
• some hand-me-down underwear that I felt was both too dingy and inappropriate for the age group
  

And here were a few damaged odds-and-ends of toys. I pulled them out of circulation for a few days to make certain the girls wouldn't notice then they went into the trash.
