One Person's Trash is another's TREASURE!
Madi and I were out for a walk the other day and on our way back to the house we passed by the dumpster. I couldn't help but notice a big, brightly colored easel sitting to the side. I wheeled Madi around to take a look. I HAD to take it home with me! It was in perfect condition and something I've been wanting to get for Madi for quite sometime. So aside from a complete scrub down (just for germ purposes) Madi got a brand new/old toy for FREE!!! While I'm still probably a little more excited than she is, she's had a great time scribbling on it. I'm looking forward to starting "school" with Madi. One side is a white board, on the second side paper can be hung for various art projects, and the third side is a table that can fold up, allowing the three part easel to collapse down smaller. What a GREAT find! Can you believe someone would actually throw this away?!?

Free stuff is awesome, especially when it was a total surprise find too! Way to go Anie! How did Spencer feel about it?
What a fantastic find! One time I found a bananna peel by the dumpster...
That thing looks huge!!! I love finding that kind of stuff. Awesome find. It must have been pretty funny to watch you push Madi and carry that huge easel home... hahaha... I'm laughing at you. You should have see me load a play kitchen in my car.
ha! I love this post because I can totally see Clark and I doing something like that. The easel looks squeaky clean too! Kids don't know the difference anyway. Way to go Anie. By the way, I'm excited to hear that Madi is going to bed earlier! I love my nights so that will be a huge thing for me. Love you guys!
