We Love Freecycle!

Dad came home from work early on Thursday to put together our latest freecycle find. This is ranked in our top 10 best freecycle finds. Our list includes our swimming pool, train table, lanterns, patio stones, kids toys and books, water dispenser, toy bench, hedstrom horse etc. etc. Our newest find is Sid's new climbing structure. A generous family posted it on freecycle because they wanted to build a skating rink this year and didn't have enough room in their yard with the climber.

Dad drove the trailer there on Monday and took it all apart. Luckily it all fit in one trip. It took a while to put together and since the sun sets around 4:50 now Dad pulled out the generator and halogen light and worked away at it in the dark in -8 degree temps. What a trooper, the things you do for your kids!!!


Friday, despite being sick and it being quite cold out, Sid was thrilled to play on her new play park as she calls it. We are so happy to have been gifted this and have already returned the favor by freecycling a big box of toddler toys that a non-profit daycare wanted to pick up. By re-using, and recycling we are saving a bundle of money and saving our landfills too!!

This week Sid made me laugh again with her logic. We were in the grocery store in the drink aisle and she informed a woman who was shopping beside us that if a skeleton drinks water it would pour out of his eyes! I laughed so hard and agreed that it could happen and then Sid mentioned "that's a good observation eh?". Oh three is such a fun age!
