Kelsi took the brand new mummy bag to girls camp last week. It was cold where she was and she was so grateful to have it. She took the mummy bag, her pillow and an extra blanket in a huge, green, garbage bag. When she got home on Friday she left her things in the garage to air out and I was mowing the lawn. I spied the garbage bag and thought "lets use it so it gets double use." I shook out the sleeping bag, blanket and pillow and filled it with grass clippings. (If you put the clippings in a bag at first then when the garbage man comes and turns the can over it all comes out.)Funny story....while school was still on I walked the kids out to the bus and saw that the garbage man had not banged the can into his truck and it still had 2/3 clippings in it so I grabbed the can and walked/ran around the corner, caught up with him and asked him to redump it and bang it hard. He did and I walked the can home!
When I mowed on Friday I also did some weeding and filled the can! About 2 days later when packing up the brand new mummy bag I discovered the storage bag for it was missing. I tried to blame Kelsi for not bringing it home. She insisted she did. Kim said it was ok. Then I said I could make a new bag for it even with a drawstring. So that was the plan for about a day. Then he had the nerve to say can it be nylon? and blah blah blah. I could tell he wanted the original one. I said I could dig for it and he said no but I could tell the no was a yes. On Tuesday I dug for it and boy oh boy did it stink! Like a cow exhibit at a fair! 
As I was heading out I said I get reward if I find it. The kids have all had a shake at this place in Pleasant Grove called the Purple Turtle. Kelsi suggested that I could have one of those. There is the bag airing out on a chair on my porch. I had to wash it twice. But I found it!
There I am at the famous Purple Turtle. We did not get there until 9 45 at night and I was pretty much done with the day but I had the best Kiddie Size Chocolate Shake and man oh man did I deserve it! (I am all about the reward.....never mind that I ran 3 and a half miles that morning.....I broke even on the calorie count for the day and that is why I never get thin!)
