Garage Sale part 2c

It Is Finished!!! I cannot tell you how happy I am that we are done! It's was a long weekend, but a blessed one. Kind of fun to have it be a neighborhood sale- the kids were back and forth between our house and the neighbors on both sides. One couple had Catherine for a good portion of the day and the other had Samuel. He was so cute- he was helping, not playing. He sat in his little fold up chair with the neighbors as they sold things to raise money for the Blue Star Mothers. Samuel had lots of fun and told me it was an honor to do things to help people in the Army. And it is.
This is how Caleb spent part of his awake time. He was so happy in his pack and play and entertained people with his chatter. People often thought we were adopting him and were surprised we were adding #4.
When all was said and done, we'd earned $490.31 for these 2 days, and a total from last sale and this was $1600! I did no advertising this time and that may have made part of the difference. We're very thankful for each person who donated things for the sale and those who purchased from us. There were several who gave us money and bought nothing. How wonderful is that?
After we packed up, this was taken to GoodWill. (I seriously need a shower!)and this is a portion of what will go to the John 3:16 Mission. On another happy note, we can now put our car back in the garage! On the agenda for this week is taking a picture of the car and putting it in the Auto Trader. Time to really get ready to add another child!
