garage sale success!
between the 5 families…we have a lot of junk.
it was hot.
good thing there was plenty of lemonade.
the cupcakes sold out.
i think they made about $15.
london wanted some too.
she was so content hanging out in her wagon all day.
making money.
we sold lots of stuff but i did bring home
a big box of clothes from the older neighbor girls for talby and annie.
and a set of white dishes.
but my basement feels a lot less cluttered.
(grandma…we sold your pergo flooring!)
after we cleaned up (and took a nap) we got together for a cookout.
afterwards the kids went to bed and the grown up party started.
it felt good to laugh that much.
and talk to so many adults at once.
it doesn't happen too much for me…kids all the time.
i was really needing some grown up time.
we have great neighbors.
it was such a good day.
thanks neighbors.
i can't wait for the 4th of July.
Emily - Looks like a fun time! It’s great you’re so close to your neighbors. We’re fortunate to be close with our neighbors too and it’s wonderful.
Marie - That’s so awesome to have good neighbors. We’re moving and I am praying hard for good neighbors-it makes a huge difference!
Mrs. Fox - Looks like a nice day. I love having neighbors that are friends, it makes home feel so much more like home. I’m a sucker for Norman Rockwell moments.
meg duerksen - do you hear that neighbor girls?!
we look like we should be in BH&G. i agree of course. 🙂
but also…there is no photo of me in my tye-dye shirt and pigtails.
that would have changed the image a little.
amy said cory would pay her next time to Not have a garage sale.
i think he meant he would pay for our next neighborhood block party….right?
sounds good to me.
i like kristin’s idea too. pizza and beer…no sale. 🙂
-meg
kristin - at the one garage sale we had, we spent the entire days earnings on pizza and beer.
wow.
we decided next time we would just do the pizza and beer part.
traci - so glad it was a success. looks like you had some awesome stuff there. what a way to end the day – food, friends and fun.
Jenn - Bobby…. throw another hotdog on the grill. I am still laughing at Corey’s impersonation. What a great day we had – I still think I would had as much even if I hadn’t sold anything – it wasn’t about the money I told Russ. Jenn
traci - WOW..london is getting big! Do you even really know how special it is that you have such a wonderful neighborhood with great friends/neighbors??? I like my neighborhood but are cozy with any of my neighbors….Gorgeous home, loving hubby, healthy kids, fabulous community…you really have a great life!!
Jennifer P. - Looks like they could have done a feature story on that day for BHG—and used all your amazing pictures to boot! Glad you cleaned out and scored at the same time :)!
julie - You have such a fun neighborhood! Congrats on the sale.
