Dumpster Diving, sort of

In the past few months, we have discovered that University Hills is a great place to find free stuff for kids.  When we lived in the apartment, we found a fire engine next to the dumpster.  The kids have been enjoying playing with it, especially dinging the bell. 

Recently, another family offered up this playhouse for free, so David went over and disassembled it and reassembled it on our back porch.  The girls really like to hang out on the roof.  (Hopefully, it will be a while before Matthew and Jonathan figure out how to get up there!)

Since the boys will be in cribs for quite some time still and after that in toddler beds, I have been trying to keep my eyes open for a crib mattress.  Last weekend, another resident offered an organic crib mattress for free.  We weren't necessarily looking for one that was organic, but you really can't beat free!

One man's trash is another man's treasure!
