"I'm Priceless"

This past Saturday it was Garage Sale Day at Grammy and GrampC's.  It's the annual, clear-the-crap-out-of-your-house-and-make-what-you-can day.  Our final take home - $46 and change. 

Drew was mighty fiesty early in the day - after going to bed late, and getting up at 5:30am.  Needless to say at 9am, he was in desperate need for a nap, but that didn't happen.  So as the good parents we are, we tried to sell him at the garage sale.  However if you asked him how much he was, he's say: "I'm priceless".  Thanks a lot GrampC for teaching Drew that one - we could've at least made an extra $10.

To keep Drew out of our customer's hair, we managed to entertain him in Grammy and GrampC's front yard.  First it was teaching him how to roll down the grassy hill.

Oh and the hula hoop, Grammy wasn't able to sell that one after all - Drew laid claim on that one. 

We did however sell one of Drew's old toys that he played with for the first time as some guy came up to buy it.  I congratulate us for distracting him enough to say goodbye to it, and we pulled him in the house for a well timed "juice break".

Another great distraction... the pipe near the front tree that apparently housed Oscar the Grouch.  Drew kept yelling into the pipe "Hello in There"!

It was a great day to just hang out outside, enjoy family and well, make a few bucks.

Garage Sale Mania

It's garage sale mania at Grammy & GrampC's this weekend. We spent the night there because of our early AM sale. Of course it started out EXTRA early thanks to Mr. Drew who woke the house up at 4:30am! Why?! Who knows, but UGH!.

So Mommy & Grammy decided to use the early rise to get things going.

Oh, the highlight of this garage sale had to be the fact that Mommy forgot to pack Drew some socks & shoes... so he's wearing Grammy's socks wrapped with rubber bands. See Drew would've been wearing his own socks & shoes over to Grammy & GrampC's but we decided to put him in his PJ's the night before. Yes, I do believe that earns us a nomination for parents of the year.

For the record, Dave made an emergency run to Walmart that morning for a pair of sandals. Drew hated them, so he walked around barefoot the rest of the day.

The weather was gorgeous! I think it got into the 80's at their house. So what is a garage sale on a beautiful day like this without sharing a cold one with GrampC?

Note, GrampC has the leaded Coors Light... Drew has the unleadded sippy of milk.
