The real story...

...so, we all know that Jen is quite the wheeler and dealer. She loves a bargin almost as much as I do. Let's just say, Jen was made to be a "yard saler," she was in her glory!!! I tried to capture it on video (sorry for the poor camera angle). Notice the notebook to log all the money, she would not let that thing out of sight... she was trying to keep track of who sold what since it was the Menlove's stuff, Mom's stuff, and a few of our things. It was sweet, Jen saw this one lady admiring a shirt and and then whispered "Go ahead and just take it," the lady smiled from ear to ear and was SO thrilled to be getting a free shirt! Here is Gina in action...

Finally a New Post!

David's birthday post was up just a little too long. After my camera took a little trip to Texas, it is finally back and I am happy to be putting up a new post. The yard sale this weekend went great and we got rid of lots of stuff. These pictures were taken at 6:30 in the morning and our first customer came at 6:45. Half of the stuff was gone by 8:00! We made a total of $450 with almost $50 of that in selling avocados. We sold them for .25 cents each, so that makes almost 200 avocados sold. I'm good at math! It was a fun day.
Baby stuff and clothes. I didn't take any pictures of dads tools that we sold, because I didn't want the boys to freak out! J/K
Mom finally got rid of the sink and stove we played with as little kids.
The "avocado girl" is what she called herself. She had fun taking the money and putting it in the cash register. Notice Zachy in the background with the Shrek slippers on. They were out to be sold but he had them on all day even though they were way too big for him.
