Out with the Old, In with the New

This weekend, some of Evie's things were banished to the attic until we adopt again. The items include her b*oppy pillow, B*umbo seat, play gym, bouncy seat and J*ohnny Jump Up. They joined some other items that went up there in past weeks, including her swing and bassinet. It is nice to clear out some of the baby clutter from the house, especially to have the bouncy seats gone. (The last time we had baby stuff in the attic was during infertility; this feels SO much better.)

So J and I, along with Evie, went out on Friday and scoured a neighborhood garage sale for new stuff to fill up the now-empty spaces. We scored! Here are some of our purchases:

A Radio Flyer tricycle in great condition for $10 (I do realize it will be quite awhile before Evie can ride this): Brand new-looking pink C*onverse high-tops in size 2. Eerily, I was bidding on an identical pair on eBay that same day and was outbid! We paid $2 for these and the winning bidder in the ebay auction paid over $10 plus shipping:

An Even*flo back carrier in great condition for $10! These retail for over $100 usually:

A walker that plays music, $2 (Evie took six steps with it yesterday, without our help, although J was hovering over her the whole time):

A L*ittle P*eople barn for $2. It came with only a chicken so I need to find more animals, but I have time since it's still too advanced for Evie:

A bead rollercoaster for $2!

We also scored 6-12 month R*obeez for $3, a baby swing to hang from a tree in the backyard, a few more toys, a C*arters brand snowsuit for next winter for $3 and a baby gate from Cra*igslist to keep Evie from playing in the dogs' water bowl.

It was a great shopping weekend!
