My Reward

The past couple weeks I've been a slacker at running. 
I had some legitimate excuses, but I can't use them anymore. 
Today I made myself go. I didn't have much time, so I told myself,  "Only 2 miles. That's it. Don't be lazy." 
I walked out the door to a brilliant 60 degree morning with a slight breeze.
On my way back, I saw this little gem sitting on the side of the road with the trash.
No, not Claire, the table.
 Thursday is big item trash day in my neighborhood.

 Score! 
I cleaned it and viola!
A free table in perfect condition.
No markers, crayons, glitter glue, nada.
Claire loves it.
Claire + Table = absolute joy

I love it because it was free. 
The only problem is that I was going to get her a cute table for Christmas.
Now what to do?
I'm sure I'll figure it out.

What a find! A couple of months back I found a play kitchen right next to our dumpster, I hosed it down and cleaned it up and it was practically new too! I love it when people leave such nice things for our enjoyment!

Nice! Way to go! I found a glider and ottoman in perfect condition by our dumpster about 6 months ago. Love it! That table is so nice- perfect condition!
P.S.- did you cut Claire's hair- it looks so cute!
