Today was our neighborhood's yard sale. We always try to participate and usually make quite a bit of money. I spent a lot of the week getting things ready. We thought it would be fun for the kids to get involved and sale something too. Instead of a lemonade stand, we put our sno cone maker to use and sold those. They were a hit. The kids made a poster and picked out the flavors we were going to sale. They sold them for 50 cents and made $35 dollars. We took out $4 to give to church and they split the rest. It was a good lesson on earning money and giving some of what you make to God. We started the sale at 6:15 this morning and called it quits at 11. It was a success!!
Let me say that yesterday Maddie had a birthday party and tball game. I set the alarm for 5:30 this morning for myself and I was tired waking up!! Not working for almost a year has definitely gotten me out of THAT routine. After the yard sale we had another birthday party this afternoon. So thankful for our friends and that the kids are able to do extra activities, but this mama is TIRED!! Looking forward to summer and Kevin being home for a little bit:)
