The Great Purge

Thursday was the last day of school.  Friday was The Great Purge.
We talked about how Deseret Industries (the DI) is a great charity, and the value of helping others.  So with that said, each room had a garbage bag, a basket for things that did not belong in that room and a big box for the DI.  The Great Purge lasted all day, we did take a break late in the afternoon to go buy ourselves a candybar (for energy), and to drop off our stuff at the DI.  We loaded the back of the van, and when we ran out of room we put two big boxes in the side.  We also donated (inadvertently) a HUGE Black Widow spider, which the guy unloading the stuff promptly squashed (ingrate).  We also wheeled our Blue (recycle) barrel into the hall, and managed to fill it to the top.  I believe we all slept better, knowing our closets were clean!
 This is the super cool fiberoptic fairy wand that the girls donated.

 Here is the screen shot: Truman caught in the act of not purging...

 Christian caught not working!
 Cousin It came for a brief visit.
 The purge even included emptying the backpacks.  It is good to be sure that no lunches are left over the summer.
Is Abby recyclable?
