Yard Sale Diva!


This weekend we participated in our "neighborhood yard sale". It's reputation proceeded it...and it was right on. the sale was from 8am- 1pm. And as we had heard the Amish showed up at 6:30 am. They don't drive modern vehicles...but the do hire them. So there were several 15 passenger vans towing large trailers around. The husbands stayed in the vans while the women and children walked around shopping. If they bought something large they would call for the van to come get it! It made for a fun morning...especially when one van got stuck in front of our house on our small culdesac! But back to the yard sale diva. She made out like a bandit. Between the two neighbors she was given a new flower pin, 2 purses, a new bracelet and a flower tiarra...and that is only what you can see in the pictures...inside of the purse is all of the loot she raided from our yard sale...things she was not supposed to be bringing back into my house! She LOVED it!

You take the best pictures of your kids. I still remember London at age two, answering the question - What do we do at the mall? - with "Buy!" It seems that she hasn't changed one bit.
