We MUST be CRAZY

I take that back...we ARE crazy!

We have lost our minds. 

We had a garage sale.

We've lived in our house for 6 years and decided to wait until we had a 2 year old AND it was 90 degrees outside AND I was 9 months pregnant to have our first garage sale. In hindsight, we see that this was not our brightest idea. Yet, it had to be done. So we did it, yes we did and WHEW, we're glad it's over!!

Here are my thoughts on garage sales:

1. Garage Sales are a lot of work. I mean A LOT. An absolute ton of work!

2. You will ask yourself at least 5 times during the process, why are we doing this again?

3. You will conclude at some point that, really... it just isn't worth it.

4. An hour into it you will be willing to just give stuff away just so you don't have to deal with/look at your stuff anymore and you can just wrap it up, call it a day and be done with it

5. It's very awkward to have people looking through your stuff

6. It's difficult to watch something you were once willing to pay $500 for sell for 20 bucks (ouch!)

7. You will get very dirty

8. You will seriously feel like you are going to fall flat on your face from exhaustion at the end of it all (okay, maybe that's just me) but you will be tired, I can promise you that!

 Overall summary:

GARAGE SALES STINK!

On the plus side, we got rid of a lot of stuff and we did make some money, more than we had anticipated, so all in all the hard work paid off. We were completely exhausted yesterday, and by "we" I mean Scott and me. Hudson was ready to keep on going and going and going and going...We have reserved today for something fun, preferably with very little to no work involved, and we're hoping for some rest at some point, too. I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow...for now, here are some pics from our super fun Saturday garage sale.

lunch break, chick fil A = yummy!

mid-garage sale, but there's always time for a "quick pitch" with these two

I like butterflies!

Does this look like a "happy camper" to you?
