Thursday morning found us making a trip in the rain over to Lawrence to Megan's to go through our "stuff" in storage for the garage sale on Friday and Saturday. The truck did great and we like it more and more! Thursday afternoon, we stayed around here and I got my fabric cut out of the project I'm making....I'm not saying what it is because I want to surprise who it is for!
Thursday evening we went over to Erin's to begin the monumental task of setting up for their garage sale.... they had tons and tons of kids clothes and toys!!!! I was beginning to think ....she will never sell all these clothes! They only advertised on Craig's list and signs at the end of the major streets! We worked until almost 9 to get things ready to go with 4 of us working and she even had some friends come by early!
Friday morning, we picked the boys up at their house and took them to school as their school was having "Grandparents breakfast"..... it was fun seeing their classrooms and having them show us where their rooms were. After that we spent the rest of the day at the garage sale ...well, the bigger share of the day.... we had to run out to North Topeka Walmart which was on the opposite side of town but only a few miles from our park. So getting the meds and things we needed we went home for lunch and a rest..... we went back over to their house until the garage sale was over for the day. They sold alot of clothes..the piles were dwindling!!!
Late that afternoon, when the boys got home, we packed the kids up and came to our "house" as Erin/Ryan were going to KC for the evening. So the kids spent the night with us....it was fun although Lauren had a hard time settling down to go to sleep. She is usually asleep early in the evening but I think she was the last one to sleep at 10PM!!!!
Up and around early Saturday morning, we took Bryson to his first football game. Bill and Brayden stayed with Ryan to watch Bryson and I took Lauren home and to see how the garage sale was going..... the customer stream was slow but steady. About noon we left and then went back to help clean up. It was over and the stuff that was left was either going to Goodwill, Mommy and Me or Christ the King church Daycare that Lauren is going to. We came home after that as we were all tired and it was time for them to get some rest!
This morning, we went to church and then grilled some steaks for lunch.... A nap was needed after lunch! Then I began to sew..... have been sewing most of the afternoon and my project is ready to finish tomorrow! I will post a picture when I'm done !
So after a busy weekend we have a full week ahead of us too..... dr.appt.in the morning"Monday" for me about my foot again and then on Wednesday our camping rally friends begin arriving for our rally for the month! Looking forward to seeing all of them before we split for our winter fun! ---us we.... "get to work" before our fun begins!
Until next time!
