Garage Sale

Friday and Saturday we had a garage sale. I am surprised at how much we really had that we didn't need or want anymore. My main goal was to make enough money to buy Shiloh a different dresser than the one we had, and paint for her room. We reached our goal, with just a few dollars to spare, seriously!

We sold some pretty high priced items like my vanity and the dresser we had for Shiloh, and tons of smaller things. So why did we sell the dresser we had for Shiloh just to have to go out and buy another one? Well, since we had to get a new crib, the dresser did match AT ALL. The new crib is dark wood, and the dresser was very light wood. Plus the dresser had really small drawers and so couldn't fit very much in it. The dresser wasn't very sturdy, I have visions of it falling on top of one of the kids when trying to pull out a drawer. Not good.

Mason and Cooper also had a sale of their own. They sold lemonade, cookies, banana muffins, zucchini bread, and zucchini from our garden. They did really well with their sale too. They had some people just giving them a dollar or two, just for the heck of it. Or people who would give them a five dollar bill for just one or two cookies. They made about $30! They are saving that money (and any birthday money they get) for a Wii.
