Weekend Recap

Where did the weekend go? It was so busy! All week we were preparing for a Garage sale to take place. We were bummed we could not have one in the spring! We decided to make the most of having a Fall garage sale! Well We did amazingly WONDERFUL!!! We had a 2 days sale and the 2nd day was even a couple dollars better! This never happens! We had everything marked crazy cheap, we blasted our praise and Worship music, served Free coffee and sold homemade peanut butter fudge and chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies! ( my dad made the cookies) He makes THE best! It was neat to have people return for the cookies a 2nd time as they were THAT good!:)
My dad works nights but wanted the cookies to be REALLY fresh( who doesn't like a warm cookie out of the oven)? so he did just that as the sale was starting he was slaving over the oven baking these divine cookies! So We decided This was our BEST sale ever and almost ALL my stuff sold ( YES ) We already found stuff to add in next years sale, it really is amazing how things accumulate!
here are a few pics of our sale!




Saturday I worked and cleaned up the mess a bit and Sunday We took the kids to Crocker Park (pics coming) to check it out! (No Cedar Point This weekend I guess) came home and helped mom get all the rest of the garage cleaned up from the sale! All clean now!
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Busy Weekend


Friday we had a nice garage sale at my moms. Here she is, ready to take some money;) My mom did great making people feel welcomed. I think it was one of our best sales! She had a 2 day sale to get rid of alot of stuff! I don't think 2 day sales go so well, but this one did ok...
We made some yummy treats to sell as well! I made baked Apple cheesecake, peanut butter fudge, and my dad made peanut butter cookies, and chocolate chip oatmeal pecan. YUMMY! We also sold pop and water...
here are a few shoppers, You cannot tell it here but the garage was beyond full!
We still have some stuff left, and we are now thinking about having a fall sale to get rid of excess christmas stuff!

Jelena had her girlfriends over for a Birthday sleepover. The final bit of this girls birthday fun! I made cup cakes in ice cream cones.
5 girls stayed the night and YES I was brave!;) what a girly time they had! They made their own goody bags and then I filled them! Check out Jelenas Blog for a video clip
I took this one child too late as Paige had left early for church...All in all I think it was the best party she has had she said! After the girls all left DH took our trio to church, and I had to head off to work! It was a busy weekend! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
