Garage Sale Fun

Last night we had dinner over at our friends. So much fun and good food. It got a little cold after dinner so Aubrey was using her beach towel to cover up with. Thanks Mellisa and Bill!!
Last week we finished up another two week session of swim lessons. We are going to take a couple of weeks off now. The exciting part though is that Alyssa can finally dive off of the diving board. We all cheered for her when she did it and she was just beaming when she got out of the pool. She has been working on her diving a lot and this was her goal of this summer!
I don't really like getting set up for garage sales but love once they are over and you have sold a ton of stuff and made a couple of dollars on it too. I spent a couple of hours last week folding and sorting little girls clothes to get ready for the sale. It was a good sale today and we don't even have to big of a give away pile. While we had our sale the girls had their lemonade/cookie stand. They are becoming quite the little entrepreneurs since they made $27.00 on their sale today. As the day went on and they got bored with the lemonade stand then they got silly. Aubrey put on a pair of bloomers that went under a sundress and a superman cape (with the .25 price tag on it) and she was running around the driveway calling herself 'Super Diaper Girl." Ahh...that girl, always out for a good laugh.

I was getting worried about keeping up with you folks and you missing a few days. Congrats to Alyssa for the plunge. We appreciated the pic of Aubrey in the bloomers....very cute and silly.

Let's see if I remember all the comments I have to make -
Great title pictures on the blog!
Congrats to Alyssa - I can't (or won't) even dive off the side of the pool!
Glad your garage sale is over. It does feel good to clean things out though! The girls made almost 1/2 of what I made on my whole garage sale last summer at their little lemonade stand. :)

What a crack up! I think Ms. Kate will follow in her footsteps!
Wish I could have made it to your sale ~ you really should do better advertising! lol
I always know when Kate is wearing something from Cheryl ~ well, quite honestly it's either from Cheryl or Meredith most the time! *wink*

It was a great weekend. I think the sale went great. Aubrey is such a crack up. She was so funny at the top of the street dancing around with that lemonade sale sign. I'm glad the girls had a successful sale.
