Treasures in Boxes

The littles were outside playing and I thought it an ideal time to try and organize my storage closet.  Ha.  I pulled all the stuff out.  And then the littles came in.  They thought it was Christmas.  All those toys that had disappeared.  And then all those toys were all over the floor.  Oy.  The good part about it was they stayed out of my boxes.  And so it was time to go through them and see what could be purged so I don't have so many excess boxes.  I managed to take a box out to the dumpster and combined a couple more.  By the time I was done I had half the storage closet empty.  Yay.
Those boxes contained nothing that we needed because if we did the stuff wouldn't have been in the boxes.  They have been in that closet for two years.  And it was kind of fun going through them.  I found my kaleidoscope which went back into a box until a time when the littles are older and less likely to break it.  I found the keys to Grandma's house and her John Deere tractor, neither of which exist anymore.  I found my old camera that I used before the one I currently use.  No charger for that battery, but I bet a charger is cheaper than a new camera.  Maybe.  I found more pictures (I have pictures everywhere) and books for the kids.  I found the moose pin that was on my dad's cowboy hat forever.  I had forgotten about it.  I have a mystery role of film.  I found stuff of Dave's,  Treasures in boxes and back in boxes to find again another day.  Just now they are more condensed and taking up less space.  Most of the toys went back in the closet also.  ;P
