Dust Bunnies and Other Tasty Treats

I cleaned a bin of toys out in my daughter's room. Here is what I found:

• 3 purple sparkly bunnies
• 1 kitchen egg timer
• 1 faceless dinosaur
• 6 mismatched doll size ice skates
• 1 stringless panda tree ornament, listing without a way to be hung up
• An assortment of bug catching and inspecting 'equipment'
• 2 Pez dispensers (Ariel and Jessie, hanging out)
• 3 flashlights 

• 1 tiny gumby
• 6 rubber ducks
• 5 spin thingies 
• 10 doll brushes
• 11 plastic carrots, because, you know, horses

• 1 bicycle bell, sans bicycle
• 1 non working kitchen bell timer
• 1 captain America shield
• 1 rain stick (homemade)
• An assortment of Legos (none of which I stepped on, whew)
• 3 flags (2 American, 1 pirate)
• 1 deflated beach ball
• 2 yo-yos

• 2 handmade Madeline stick dolls (she's an 'artiste')
• A large variety of farm and other animals, real and imaginary. Some looked to be of the 2-by-2 groupings (no ark in sight), but among them were a family of piggies, one of zebras, and a Hello Kitty group that had one dressed as a bumblebee. Also included was a clearly misguided and identity searching rubber duck and a well fed ladybug.

No, I did not find a partridge, nor did I come across a pear tree. I would have enjoyed encountering a pear martini. And for reference and everyone's benefit, dust bunnies are a decidedly excellent manner in which to kill an appetite. You're welcome.
