5. Broken pencil cap.
6. Small jar of goo.
7. Small festive ball.

11. Doohickeys in a bag.

For the Minimizing Game Day 10, I found calcium chews that expired in 2014, rice that expired in 2016, a terrible knife block, and 7 rusted knives.

For the Minimizing Game Day 8, I went got rid of four of the kid’s last coloring books, because I have come to accept they don’t like coloring books, and haven’t used them in years. Also, four books from my childhood that I have come to accept the kids just don’t want.

For the Minimizing Game Day 7, I cleaned out my closet, something I do exactly twice a year. Everything from this day hasn’t been worn in way more than six months though. Items are folded in the photo, but it features two pairs of pants, one skirt, two tops, and two t-shirts.

For the Minimizing Game Day 6, I have:

1. Kid’s sunglasses one of them got last fall and haven’t taken out of the packet yet.
2. Broken Spiderman toy.
3. Craft item I made as a demonstration to show Samir how to make his own.
4. Small broken pencil.
5. Small plastic toy that may have been in a set.
6. Some gross toy.

For the Minimizing Game Day 5, I have five dental-related things: two floss-holders and two timers (don’t worry, we have many, many more) and a jar that I thought I’d re-purpose, but it’s been on the shelf almost a year.
