Jar #14 didn't make a good first impression. The Band-Aid tin ooked me out. I was worried there'd be used Band-Aids in it.
Good surprises, though. It contained:
*unused Band-Aids (thank you barn sale gods)
*the usual odd assortment of kids toys/the knobby red poodle is quite the oddbal, as is that mohawked white horse
*a cool metal shoe from Russia *CASTANETS!!! REAL CASTANETS--I always wanted some of those. They're super clackety.
*Super cool wooden spoons--I remember eating tiny tubs of ice cream with flat, 4 inch spoons, but these are really spoon shaped
*Prize Ribbons--I think I'll start handing them out at home. "Violet, you put away all the My Little Ponies by yourself, so you get 2nd place. I get 1st since I put away everything else, went to Walmart, did all the laundry, and made dinner. Adam, your dirty socks are on the floor, you come in 4th, even though there are only 3 of us." (That came out sounding mean. You can have the 1st place Husband Prize ALL the time, sweetheart.)
*A creepy but charming black rubber sheep head----what is THAT for?
*A cool orange plastic bird whistle. I love orange. It's so cheerful.
Very cool--and I really love the fact mom gets first place!
