Today was the big GARAGE SALE. 5 street extravaganza, they called it. There was even rent a cops on our street to direct traffic (our street is a bus line). It was crazy!! Unfortunately I didn't get to visit many other sales. I prayed God would help me find a cheap baby gate, I was at one sale down the street, and I turned and went "uhhhhh" like I have found $100. I was just amazed there stood the same gate I already have, a nice heavy duty gate. It wasn't cheap, it was $10, YUCK. Well later that day my brother-in-law, who will be staying with us for the week, was headin out to shop. I said to him "Isaac, I need a gate for a couple of dollars." 5 minutes later he comes back with the $10 gate, "Is that the $10 one", I reply. "Yeah but everything was half off, and they gave it to me for $3." YAHOO!! Thanks Isaac and most of all GOD.
So like I said the garage sale was a sucess. Autumn and Angela cam e and sold stuff too. We had so much stuff it was unbelievable. Not very many moms with kids or women pregnant with baby boys ( I had lots of little boy clothes). But somehow we still did good. Quarters add up quickly! I, Donna, made a little over $100, Autum made about $50, and Angela about $30. All on stuff we didn't want..COOL HUH!! So that was our day, selling junk and eating some pizza after we realized we hadn't eaten all day. And we got a break from our wonderful children, who we did miss!
So thanks girls for keeping me company and making my sale look bigger! Love you girls.

sounds like fun! how'd u get a break from your children?
Between naps, Josh watching them inside, my mother taking them for a few hours, and keeping Ethan busy in the stroller, I managed. Autumn and Angela's wondeful husbands watched the kids for them!
Today I used some of my garage sale profits to buy some mums for my front yard (gotta work on the curb appeal!!!) and now I'm going to go plant them. :)
How pretty!! I need to plant flowers, I wanted to do it before everybody came over Sunday...probably won't happen, Oh well.
