because, i LOVE garage sales...

BELOVED CRAP

because, my friend Grey is moving and wanted to get rid of stuff...

because, Todd was out of town on a cub scout camp out...

because, I only had one birthday party (we didn't make it-- sorry Jackson), two soccer games, a 6, 5, and 2 year old, and a 3 week old at home...

because, I only had 4 award assemblies and one PTA executive board meeting at the school yesterday...

because, my baby is awake and not so happy from 11pm to 4am...

because, I LOVE selling my cute, pottery barn kitchen that I paid $100 for at an outlet to a Mexican family for $15...

(Yeah, that family came back to our garage sale with a moving van... for real!! I may have to check out the local flea markets next week to buy the kitchen back!! Who knew there were professional garage salers?)

because, my friend Grey just adopted a two year old last Saturday...

because, between us we have 13 kids...

because, it was supposed to RAIN...

because, I LOVE putting prices on things...

("How much is this?" "Uhh... 50 cents... ten dollars? Make me an offer... OK, just take it.")

because, I don't have another friend that would be crazy enough to have a whirl-wind garage sale with me....

We opened at 6am and closed up at noon.

(Well, we sold a moving van of stuff to that one family the night before- they showed up as we were setting up. And, on Saturday it started raining around 10am- we were seriously DONE by noon.)

CRAZY!!!! but fun.

kind of.

I did make $186!!!

ALMOST enough to pay the $250 speeding ticket that Todd got on the way to Scout Camp....

Treasures... (Anna helped with pricing!) So, what did you do this weekend?
