Clean up continued

The cleaning bug still hovers.  We decided it was time to make a path into Emma's bedroom, weed out the overstock, make room for all of the Christmas presents, and donate a thing or two.  Emma has an extensive collection of Barbie dolls.  Emma is most comfortable toting a Barbie or Princess around where ever she goes.  The favored position is tightly fisted in either, if not both of Emma's hands.  It is also essential that Barbie's arms be fully extended like so...

I have found no good use for this position except to poke Mom accidentally and watch her hold in a nice swear word.

As you can see, this particular Mermaid has had her share of lovin'.  In fact, her fin could probably stand on its own and her little top has worn through.  Buh-bye baby.

We sorted through the whole lot and determined that a collection of Mermaid dolls alone should not be this large.

We found different stages of decay in this collection and said our good-byes to babies that were taste-tested

or were losing their heads because the lonely thing worse than a naked Barbie is a headless Barbie.

It was also determined on this cleaning occasion that the baby doll cradle that I used for my dolls was ready to be tossed.  I snapped a few pictures of the now broken cradle that screamed for the release of its psychedelic 70's situation.
