Moving Sale

We had our first moving sale today, it went great and we are worn out! We debated and debated if it was to early for a yard sale, but the weather man said today was going to be sunny and warm... so we risked it. It paid off. We got rid of so much stuff, and made a little money in the process too.

Last night several friends came over to help sort and price everything with me. It was rainy and cold last night so we couldn't put anything outside until this morning. Mark got up extra early to start moving the goods to the front yard and I joined him for the last minute set up. A good 20 minutes before the sale was supose to start the people came. They kept coming until after 2pm, that's 3 hours after we planned. But people kept coming and buying so we kept selling.
Our friends really helped out today too... Mari brought doughnuts, Jason brought more stuff, Ellen and Cindy bought stuff:) It was freezing in the morning but the sun started shinning on us and it was a beautiful warm day. We enjoyed being outside and getting a lot of things out of the house so we can sort and pack the rest of "the stuff."

Tirza really figured out how to make the big bucks... she was having a hard time letting a toy of hers go... she started crying and throwing a little fit. Me, being the extremely sympathetic momma that I am, told her that it was in the yard sale and if she wanted the toy she would have to buy it. So she went and told her daddy and our friends that she had no dallas (dollars) to buy her toys. Our friend, Jason, felt bad for her and forked out the "dalla" Tirza very happily ran around for the next hour showing off her $$$! She didn't care one more thing for the toys, she had made some money:)
