So I Packed Up The Ball-pit for the Winter
Finally got the ball pit put away today. I wanted to get that wrapped up before the end of the year, so I made sure all 5,000 balls got put away before people start showing up tonight. I had originally planned on just putting then in garbage bags, but then I realized what I nightmare…
