I long for the days of fun and useful toys. I am currently preparing for a consignment sale(by The Picky Chick). Each day , I sneak into the toys closets and boxes and secretly pull out the toys my children no longer play with. This can only be done during nap or at night time. If the girls see that a toy is departing, even if it hasn't been used in a year, the crying and tearing of clothing begins. Now, if a Polly Pocket could double as some sort of homework aide or kitchen utensil, I'd keep 'em forever. If I could do yard work with little people or soften my clothes with a My Little Pony, they'd have their own room. I always wanted a Snoopy Snow Cone Machine. Not only did it have my favorite cartoon character of all time, but you got a frosty treat as well. My friend Melissa had one...oh, the joy of spending the night at her house and getting to use the machine. I wanted to steal it so bad. She didn't appreciate what she had!
