Yard Sale = Happy

Today was the much-anticipated town-wide yard sale day 
and
it
was
awesome!!!!
We have been tripping over the piles in the basement and the piles in the attic--all waiting for today! I wasn't very optimistic since it's pretty chilly and pretty early in the yard sale season--but our town has advertised very well and for a long time and we had an excellent turn out! There were always people at our sale with no lulls all day! 
We were only selling:
*baby boy clothes, shoes, socks etc
*toddler girl clothes, shoes etc
*toys, toys, toys
and 
*airwick air fresheners and toiletries from my couponing for free adventures
No furniture, antiques or anything interesting and STILL *still* we made
!hundreds! of dollars!!!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
I thought we'd make like $50! I'm so thankful to be rid of almost everything we put out to sell! 
It was so fun! 
I can't wait to continue couponing throughout this year sell my stuff again next year! This is all stuff I paid $0 or just tax on and people cleared the tables of it as soon as I put it down! I kept running upstairs to my stockpile and replenishing! 
It was super fun and exciting! =)
Yes, I know, I don't get out much! Ha!
The kids sold some stuff too and had a lot of fun manning their little table. They also walked with Daddy around town and made a few small purchases. =)
It was a great day--I'm so thankful to have gotten rid of so much. What a blessing to regain walking space and storage space!
In other news, here's some cute pictures of Maeve I took the other day!


In other, *other* news, we got some bad news today! Boo! So if you could spare a moment to say a prayer for us that would be much appreciated!
Le sigh.
Anyways, I hope you all had a profitable Saturday! =)

Sorry to hear that you had the set-back. I am praying that the Lord will help make a way and that you and stevenson will not let this discourage you. Keep trusting and thanking Him and He will send the blessings, my dear daughter. love you!
