Family Garage Sale

Since we were home this weekend, I talked Dave into letting me have a garage sale. I've wanted to have one ever since we moved. But, whatever doesn't sell in the next few minutes is being taken to a donation center a.s.a.p.

We had a successful sale over all, and I am glad that we did it. Here's why:

1. We cleared a lot of space in our downstairs craft/storage room.

2. It gave us an opportunity to chat with our neighbors. Some neighbors even added items to our sale. Getting to know our neighbors is a huge blessing!

3. It gave us the opportunity to teach our girls about money.
---This summer we allowed our older daughters to earn $10 each. They earned this money by helping around the house and doing odd jobs. With this money, we've taught the girls about tithing, saving and because of today, earning. The older girls went with Dave and bought a box of popsicles with the money they earned. Then they came back here and sold the popsicles for 50 cents each. That means they both got to keep a quarter every time they sold a popsicle! They were in business!---

4. Why would anyone want to just relax on a weekend? (Haha.)

Movie Night is tomorrow!!! Lydia's been begging to watch "The Sound of Music".
