suburban trash picking. . .

I was at a board meeting tonight and upon my return home I noticed (what I thought was) Victoria's American Girl Doll laying on the porch.  I figured she had left it there after playing outside; I went to pick it up as I opened the door and heard, "don't bring that in, Brennan found it in the trash."  What? Really? an American Girl Doll in someone's trash? Everything is in tact minus eyelashes on one eye! a cute blonde haired doll with blue eyes! Perfect match for Victoria!  Brennan began to share with me where he found it and I said, "let's go back."  Off we drove, of course I felt a wee bit apprehensive digging through people's trash and when I noticed a neighbor on a porch we decided to head home.

Once we got home I was telling Brett about it and he said, "do you want to go back?" of course! so I changed into dark clothing, Brett changed into dark clothing with a hoodie and Brennan changed into dark clothing.  We decided to change cars too and off we went!  This time we tore into all the trash bags!  We scored a brand new trash can from IKEA, a Sony Clock Radio, a Password Journal, a mesh storage container and an American Girl bathtub! As we drove off Brennan ducked down in the back seat, I covered my face with my arm and Brett pulled his hoodie down a little bit further! Hilarious but oh so fun and FREE!
