Hit the garage sale Jackpot today!

I picked up a few things after getting the A/C fixed on the van-YAY!. (It is so nice and cold now!! So worth the $120!) Ok, on to my bargains!! I found two bible games for $2 each!! One is Bible Pictionary in like new condition and the other is an older (musty) Bible trivia game. I cleaned it up, spritzed a little Febreeze on it and taped up the box real nice with clear packing tape and it is now ready to play! We are sure to have hours of Bible learning fun!!

I also found some NICE maternity clothes for .25 each-$2 set.. you never know.. HEHE plus they are way comfy for everyday wear!! Until I loose about 75 pounds to be "normal." Err, I mean a healthy weight, yeah.

And for .75 cents a never used 'PEACE' inspirational nicely framed print for Ryan's work desk! It has scripture to remind him of God's peace. I hope it helps him get through the day!

I did find a few more 12 months sized summer onesies for Seth for .25 each.

Win $10,000 cash!!

Dirt tastes good!!

Seth decided to see what dirt is like.. All my kids have done this more than once in my big potted palm tree plant.. Noah was the worst!! I had a rather ugly white with pastel designs hand-me-down sectional couch from my mom when they moved to Texas and Noah would make such a mess with the soil all over half of it!! I had to put screen with duct tape around the base but after awhile Joel was getting older so I took it off.. I guess I need to put some more screen back on!! LOL

How could I be mad at that sweet face???

Seth is almost walking!

He likes to stand now more than crawl.. he pulls himself up on almost everything.. stairs, coffee table, toy box, etc. Crazy little boy!

Garage sale.. No.... NOT AGAIN!!

Yes.. oh yess! Since there was another garage sale up the street about 5 houses up I decided to ask Lisa if she wanted to open up.. we went back and forth about it and then decided WHY NOT!?!? LOL
I made $60 and we made about $108 between all three of us.. oh well.. Saturdays are way better but we have too much going on tomorrow.. speaking of which I need to get things ready... TTYL
