My morning finds that will fill the afternoon...hopefully.
Friday, June 20, 2008 at 12:30PM So. Noah finished up his soccer camp this morning. Whew. :) Asher starts next week...same dealio, just different age group. On our way home, we were distracted by a 10 family garage sale going on a few blocks from our house. Had to stop obviously. ;) And, somehow, even though I've been cleaning house recently and declaring that we truly have too many toys (almost all of which are either vehicles or building toys), we picked up two electric race car sets...one for just $2 with questionable odds of actually working or having all the pieces (which has been thoroughly explained to the boys)...and one for $8 that still has some of the pieces in plastic and came with complete instructions and the owner's word that all the pieces were there and work (it looks to me like it was used maybe a handful of times and then relegated to storage).
After explaining the "rules" to the boys (no fighting...no fits if you discover we're missing pieces...etc), I set them to figuring it all out on their own. Should keep 'em occupied much of the afternoon:
Okay, off now to try to get some layouts done while they're busy... :)

10 family garage sale - Wow! That would be heaven to me. I love garage sale finds. You never know what treasures you can find. One time, we bought an air hockey set for $20. We couldn't go in the house to try it but the owner told us it works they just don't have the room for it. So we bought it and we were a little nervous so it was the first thing we tested. And we were so happy when we felt that air on top of the table. We've had it for about a year now and we still play with it.
I haven't garaged saled in a long time. We are putting together a post garage sale in August. There should be a TON of vendors there. It will be fun.
Finger Crossed that all pieces are there!!!
