YARD SALE



Uuuuggghhhh....just the word makes me cringe......but it had to happen.

Since we recently closed Frankie's, we were left with a lot of junk. Also, since we have avoided having a yard sale for way too long, my mom, sister, grandmother, and soon to be sister-in-law also had a lot of junk. Add that all together and this is what you get....



One HUGE yard sale!!


We had the sale in my parents back yard which is on a pretty busy street. We all got up at 5:30am and opened up shop. Right away we were slammed with people....






(In this one you can even see my mom helping someone carry their stuff! Haha!)
There were SO many people! We were getting rid of all kinds of stuff and making tons of money!
Here we are with our happy faces.....


(Excuse us, Lady! We are taking a picture here! Hahahaha!)

And here we are later, with our not-so-happy faces because of what came next....

RAIN!!!

Yep, a huge black cloud came from nowhere and rained on our parade! Not sprinkled. Not even a summer shower. A scary, black, swirling, blowing, pouring rain cloud ruined our perfect day!

We did the best we could to try and cover all of the stuff but, as you can see, it was too late. Poor Abby even got stuck in the mud!



This is what our men thought about the situation....


I think they knew what was coming next...CLEAN-UP!!!
And they got to help! Yay!
Even though it rained we still had a GREAT turn out. We made all together over $1000! Not too bad for only 4 hours! That kind of money makes me want to do it all over again....


.....or maybe NOT!!!
