What a Bunch of Junk!

Heather and the boys are a gift from heaven.  Today, while Marti and I were both at work, they organized, compacted and hauled bunches of boxes of old things we had stored in the basement and brought it all up to the garage.

I was able to get home early, so we loaded up my old trusty Jeep pickup and Heather's van and hauled it all to the dump and recycling center.


First load


Andrew and the second load


Heather's van loaded to the gills

Owie enjoyed throwing junk into the dumpster.


But I think he wore himself out going up and down the basement steps.


After we were done, Marti came home from work and we took Heather and the boys out for a special dinner treat to our favorite Japanese restaurant.  The boys loved watching the chef cook our dinner.


We finished off the night with Marti and the boys playing Wii.  Notice who has the controller.


Tomorrow is a few more boxes of old stuff and a search through all the boxes of Christmas decorations, we're going to try and distill them all down to one box.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment.


PS:  Bigdawg and Freeway - Your prize is on the way.  Enjoy!

  1. Ahh, the Christmas decorations. I told my two boys that I would go through them, box them up and send them each a box. This will be the hardest task for me I think :( Lots of memories in those things..

  4. What's that saying about many hands making work something or other?? Oh, that's before my time, so I get a free pass on remembering it, right? :) Keep up the hard work! You're really doing this!!!
