Craigslist

Since my dad is temporarily laid off, it is kind of my responsibility to find things for him to do. There's lots of drywall for him to be working on, so that's kept him pretty busy. He's become a bit of a craigslist addict... like my mom says, she comes home from work worrying what she will find him with that day.
This is all a bit of an exaggeration... my dad is so sweet. He saw this ad that had a bunch of free toys. He went at 6 a.m. to pick them up and deliver them to us. Oh my goodness... I am not a huge toy person, they come and go pretty quick around here. My kids were beside themselves with glee looking through them all. There were two enormous bins of toys that were overflowing. We got a few cool things, a really cute little bike for Aaron and some trucks and such. Most of the toys were quite dirty (note the drop cloth spread on my new floor) and full of sand or dog hair. Over half of them have made their way to a free bin that sits at the end of my driveway. They've been snatched up pretty quick by Amish or other people passing by. We'll see how long it takes for the rest to find their way out of the house!!

Thanks dad, the kids are still having a blast.

I'm not sure who was having more fun looking through all the toys, Aaron or my dad.
