Bye Bye Hot Pink Cast!

So Emma finally got the hot pink cast off on Monday afternoon. After seeing that stinky, dirty, Sharpie-ridden piece of fiberglass laying there, when the lady asked me if we wanted to save it, I had to politely decline. So we put it in the trash together and walked away both saying “bye bye cast!” and me adding, “hope to not see you again!”

She actually got around REALLY well in that thing over this past month. Totally surprised me. She could pretty much do anything and never even complained about it. In fact, she had a birthday party at a dance studio on Sunday where they learned and performed a routine and she was busting a move and shakin’ that arm like it was nothing!

But getting it off was difficult! I had no idea, and I wasn’t totally prepared.

Urban Kids Consignment Sale in October

Another Urban Kids Consignment sale is coming up next month, October 15th – 17th, 2010 in Los Alamitos and if you are in the market to buy, sell (or both!) any baby, kid or maternity items,oc moms this is a sale NOT to be missed!

The last one was held at the end of August and it was a huge success. I had the opportunity to check out the presale and I was wowed with how well organized it was and what a great selection of items they had. It is held in a HUGE (CLEAN) space that was un-cluttered, leaving you room to breathe and browse in peace!

Everything was displayed nicely and neatly (the clothes were even all pinned to the hangers!) And the prices were phenomenal. I was able to walk away with a bunch of things at a fraction of the price. I am looking forward to consigning some of my baby and designer maternity stuff at this next sale.

Here are a few of my pictures from the last one….
