So 15 bucks.... what do you think you could get for that. Lunch for the kids at McDonald's. A gallon of gas, maybe! A couple of grocery's......
I'll tell ya what you could get if you were a savvy garage sale junky like myself. Here's what I got (I was gonna take a picture of all this but the kids dove right in and scattered them all throughout the house) So here's my list
1 new tricycle...excellent condition (pink and purple and perfect for Avery)
1 Helmet (so she doesn't scramble her brains while she learns to ride her new bike)
2 baskets (both have been spray painted already and put up for decorations)
15 kids books 4 of which are those cute pop up ones from Costco
1 little people tree house complete with people
1 Hungry Hungry Hippos board game. (We've had it for an hour and it's already been played 4 times)
1 snail teeter totter (the cute little ones you find at Ikea)
1 laundry sorter (the kind with 2 compartments to sort your lights and darks.... yah like my 4 year old is gonna do that! )
1 purple barbie car (convertible of course)
1 dinosaur the eats people and all sorts of things and roars while he does it.
Pretty sweet huh! I love yard sales. It makes me smile to know I can get stuff for .25 or a 1$ that the kids are gonna love. I love that I don't have to pay full price.
I mean lets face it. The second any brand new toy comes out of the box they are usually already hammered ( at least at my house they are) so I don't mind buying something already used that just needs a quick wipe down.
All in all it was a good yard sale day. 15 bucks well spent I'd say!

That is soooo impressive!!!! Lots of stuff for only $15.
gotta love garage sales! i was too lazy to get out of my bed today to go. Maybe next week. Who am i kidding, i need to have a garage sale, not buy more stuff!
The cupcakes are baked in the microwave. They really do cook. I watched them cook one on tv and then frost it and then immediately eat it. No swap outs. If I hate it and it doesn't work like its supposed too then I can send it back. No harm done. That is why I love qvc!
You are a big fat jerk! (ha, hows that for memories) You didn't go to the cabin this weekend. You so could have come down and played. No big deal-I don't have any feelings! :) Come and see what I did this weekend. Gotta love that spray paint!
Way to go! I'm so impressed. I've got to learn how to do that yard sale thing someday...
PLEASE take me with you next time. I love to garage sale, but have not done it since we have lived here.
Way to go! And I thought your most amazing talent was making dinners! I get surprises everytime I hear from you.
