Tragedy and Craigslist


Lest you think this is planned or staged, it's not!!  Tonight, this horse (Sarah's 1st) was laying down in the living room.  I have been meaning to throw this horse out for awhile.  The neck is torn open, the tail is hanging by 2 threads, it leans to the left because the feet have ripped open and has a many other problems.  Sarah got this for Christmas two years ago and many kids have spent hours and hours with it.  It has been a beloved treasure in our house, BUT Grandma and Grandpa are bringing a new one for Christmas, so...I suggested that we get rid of this one.  Oh my did the tears start flowing!!!!  She couldn't stop crying, she was so sad to think of letting this horse go, so I told her we would take a picture and she could put it in her scrapbook, but still the tears were coming by the buckets so we decided against.  The horse is still here and will be until after Christmas.
So onto Craigslist.  For $100 bucks, we got a trampoline and a swing set.  I was stoked!  Now for spring so we can play with them.  The kids thought it was awesome and yeah for Craigslist :)
