So my mother-in-law wanted to go see what kind of garage sales were out on Friday...I was not super excited, only because I wanted to check out the inside of my eyelids more, but I was obliging, as usual! The truth is, once we left the house my excitement grew, and was disappointed when we only found 3! The weather was a little gloomy and it rained all last week, so that probably had something to do with the lack of outside activity.
In any case, I did end up with a few good deals! For Ethan, a snow suit (just the bottoms, he already has a coat, anyway) for next season and a pair of pants, $1 each, two board games for when he's old enough (gotta start stashing away for Family Game Night, whenever it's implemented!) for $1.50, and a few sweaters for me, $1 each and two bought by my MIL. I also found an Easy Bake Oven for my niece for $2. The day would have been extremely awesome had I been able to pick up a sand box turtle we came across for $5!! Unfortunately, it did not fit in the Hyundai. The people said they'd be out the next day, but when I sent the husband out to get it, no one was there. Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be. That being said, I am still on the lookout for a sand box (preferably the low-maintenance turtle variety) for this summer. I am sure it would provide great entertainment for Ethan, and yet another reason to get ourselves outside!
