It's all gone.

The Big Everything Kid Consignment Sale in our area happened last week, and we sold everything. Everything.

All of our big baby gear like high chairs and bassinets...GONE. In fact, I got so carried away that we now have no stroller, and will need to make a purchase. Looking for something a little more practical than what we had...you know, for The Big Girl. The one who's outgrown all that stuff we sold.

We didn't sell any clothes yet, but quite a few toys. We also learned that Andrew has just as much difficulty parting with things as I do. While he laughed at my emotional melt down about selling our exersaucer, there were plenty of rattles and tiny plush toys he simply could not part with when it came to labeling them with a price tag. It's just not worth giving away something sentimental for two dollars, when it will only take up a tiny corner in the attic. After all, there might be some grandchildren in a few decades who would enjoy them. Bite me, Peter Walsh.

Meanwhile, I made out like a bandit. Over thirty clothing pieces, plus a little puzzle game for each of the kids all for just over $100. All in great condition, some new with tags. AND I found a leotard WITH tutu for EACH of them. Score. Seriously, you can't beat $3 for a cute little sun dress or a skirt that provokes prolonged spinning.The money we made from our sales will cover those purchases, a small stroller for errands, as well as the big girl bed Keelyn is moving into over the next couple of days. In fact, it's already teasing her next to her crib as she sleeps. She can't wait.
