Well, if the pants were twenty bucks, then I got all the rest for free! Yep, that's right! Yard sale!!! Our elementary school PAC had a yard sale as a fundraiser today. First I went right when it started in the freezing coldness of our first official fall day. I picked up the pants, the batman costume and some other winning items and went home $8 less. I went back later thinking, "It should be almost over, I'll go see if there's anything good left." When I got there they were handing out grocery sacks saying "Fill it for a dollar!" I started grabbing and stuffing! I even bought pink onesies just because they were cute! (not because I am expecting! Because I'm not!) I kept grabbing and started calling everyone I knew who I thought wouldn't mind an awesome sale!! (Lara, I'm sorry I didn't call you!) By the time I left, I had already over paid my "dollar a bag" but I felt like I should've given them more (even though I had to borrow cash from my sister just to pay them in the first place). So I did pay $20 for the pants and all this: 
My spoils include:
-My new jeans
-8 skirts for Avery
-5 dresses for Benson girl #2
-1 skirt, 1 shorts, 1 shirt for girl #2
-2 pink onesies for girl #2

Oh CRUM!!!!! I am jealous! Well, you have to keep me posted if something like this happens again. :)
PS Love the pants!
Awesome! I love garage sales; I seriously love great deal garage sales! Well done.
Love, love, love the shirt!
Wow, you made out like a bandit. That's awesome! How exciting. Finding stuff like that makes my month (especially on the first cold say of the month!). And those jeans are very cute on you. Well played.
Man you got a lot of stuff! I was all excited for my 3 bags of stuff but now I think I should have shopped a little harder. :) That was the best yard sale ever!

WOW, looks like a great yard sale, I was looking forward to yard-saling on Saturday because there were so many but it just didn't work out. Mason woke up with the flu...poor little thing. Needless to say it was a rough day but she is feeling much better now. Oh well maybe this weekend we can hit the Country Store.
Wow, you some great finds! I thought I did good until I read your blog!! Well done!
Holy Crap!!!! Good job! If that wasn't the bargain of the century I don't know what would be!! So. . .this whole baby girl #2 thing . .. . what's that all about???
Just planning ahead, girlfriend. Avery does want a baby sister, however, Chris needs to graduate before the next kiddo is born. Now that Kiefer is (basically) one, people ask me all the time when the next one is! Not until at least January of 2009!!!
Poor The Next One. She's going to be so far away from Kiefer that we'll have tohurray and get Another One to be her friend. Sad.
