Garage Sale Saturday

We left the house with $28 and returned with $11 left over and a whole lot of non-essential fun things for the kids. I love garage sale day. :)

Kelton managed to find books, a super hero action figure (a blue power ranger, if that means anything to you), a Mario car, transformers, a game, car antenna balls from Disneyland and a few other things that escape my memory right now. I have to say though, he is becoming quite the bargain hunter and bartered down the price on a few things. I was actually kind of impressed because I hate to counter offer at garage sale and would rather walk away than deal with it. Yes, it's true. My six year old can teach me a thing or two. But here's the thing - no one could have turned him down. They were all way too busy ooohing and aaaahing over how "adorable" and "cute" he was. Like I said, I could learn a thing or two.

I did have to put my foot down when he started trying to barter for a toy drum thing, a metal detector and some HDMI cable. Although I was torn on the metal detector. If it hadn't been $10 I just might have let him have it. :)

Kaylen found a few things for herself as well. The highlight by far was a Bella Ballerina Dancerella set which is a ballet barre, a foot position mat and an instructional DVD. Oh my goodness! The girl has been in 7th heaven all day! I have to say - it's just about the cutest thing ever to watch her trying her best to make all the right moves. And she knows the song by heart! We took photos and I will get them up soon. It's just too cute.

It was a really fun Saturday for all of us! (Though I think Dakota's favorite part was starting to work on the garden and sandbox area. Let's hope it's a nice day so she can get back out there and have more fun tomorrow! If all goes well, I think she is planning to start building the new sandbox which is going to be a huge summer hit with the kids. Yay!)
