Empty it out

For years we have talked about cleaning out the attic but something or some excuse always got in the way.  Well today we got half way through.  3 full sized silk trees, various car parts from the kid... you name it and we probably had it up there.  Oh and huge stuffed animals that boyfriends of Emily's had given her over the years.  One year I even pulled them all down and used them for a back prop for our baby dedication day at church.  Yes, that many.  It felt 105 degrees up there but I was not going to stop.  Some of the trash bags had broken down to the point of turning back to dust of the earth.  HA!
I will be nice to have a fairly clean attic to start filling up from the middle aged years of our lives.
