We moved to our current house 14 years ago, and there are still some boxes in the basement that have never been unpacked. Could probably jettison that stuff!
I du! (+CX +Mtn.)

The rugrat tells me he's not heard of SillyBands. I would pay someone to take all of the thousands of LEGO (I'm not kidding...DH saved every damned brick from his own childhood) and hundreds of Matchbox/Hotwheels cars out of our house. I'm just thankful he's a boy and it's not Barbie shoes.
And I can't wait for my kid to be old enough for LEGOS. Just not stepping on them.
My wife feels that the more parts a toy has, the less the people giving it to our kid likes us. Some friends gave her a Mr. Potato Head kit, wife was L-I-V-I-D.

No...not the ones with parts. They hate you when they give you ones that are LOUD with no volume control. Those were the ones we removed batteries from and said were "broken."
I like LEGO...but at the same time I hate them. Because of the whole stepping on them thing. Dane has learned some colorful words when I've stepped on those suckers. They hurt worst right under the tender arch of the foot.

My wife and kids leave for Florida on Tuesday. I'm sooo tempted to have a dumpster dropped off and just empty the place out. Tell my wife we were robbed or something. It would be like hitting the "reset" button on a lifetime of accumulating utter crap. I can dream.

Honestly..I would love to make sure my photos are safely stored digitally somewhere and then just burn the house down.

Polly Pocket shoes are worse.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Mrs. Spaniel needs to work through that. Potato Head rules.
Speaking of legos, my son loved them. That's all he ever asked for when he was little. I was lucky. That kid would entertain himself for hours with legos, puzzles, etc.
There is a long dark road ahead of me.

My dd has gotten some of those sillybands as party favors. They break pretty easily.
I am ruthless about little toys. Party favor type toys go in a tin box. When it gets full, or I find them under the couch/on the floor, they get tossed. The other thing you can do with those party favor toys are save them and regift them at halloween and other parties. I am probably too ruthless. I give toys to goodwill probably every month. And I'm not good about saving artwork brought home from school.
mr sruiz broke a bone in his foot after stepping on a toy. Can't remember what toy it was.
Probably a Polly Pocket shoe.
No offense.
do you remember pogs? That was nuts. There will always be something. When I was 11 it was friendship pins - you string little beads on safety pins. But at least we made those ourselves.
The Hawai'ian in me will ask: do you know why pogs were called pogs?
Ultima tastes like failure.
Truth be told, I don't know what Polly Pocket is. But I presume if I google it, it's like a Barbie.
If by nuts you mean awesome!
I had tons of pogs! Ah, nostalgia. I'm totally going to listen to some early 90's grunge now and reflect on my childhood. And furbies and digital pets.

Just seconds before the school administration bans them, they will no longer be popular.
And can you believe it? The sillybandz trend started in Alabama. First time we've been first with a trend.
We actually just did this. We were ruthless. Half of the junk in the garage went to the dumpster, half to goodwill. We have one more room to target. It. Was. Awesome.

Wow.
Well, mother nature took care of that last room.
