ALS Support Group Garage Sale Success!

After yoga this morning, Mommy had to work on writing a grant for school (though she could barely keep her eyes open and wanted to just take a loooong nap), so Daddy took me to run some errands. When we got home, Daddy went off to go mountain biking. Mommy took me to Kailua for the ALS Support Group garage sale.

We got there around 1:30 pm and didn't come home until 8 pm. I spent most of the day playing with the toys for sale. Mommy found some good books for me and for school. She also got a booster seat, a cool Melissa & Doug puzzle, and a Melissa & Doug whiteboard/chalkboard. During cleanup, Mommy found some cool skirts and shoes. She also left with some bins for school and some plants (which she hopes she doesn't kill) for home. All for less than $10! It took a couple of hours to clean up. There were over 6 tents filled with stuff for sale, and by the end of the afternoon, it looked like hardly a dent was made (even though we made over $1300)...That meant, there were also 6 truckloads of stuff to bring to Salvation Army. While everyone cleaned up, I had fun playing with D.J. (10) and Tenniel (6?). They're way older than me, but I had fun running around with them and playing ball. Mommy had to keep making sure I wasn't running into the street like they were (even though it's not that busy of a street). They were good and watched me. They're going to have a baby brother soon, so this was good practice for them Mommy said.

I was so dirty and sweaty from playing with them in this humidity that Mommy decided to give me a bath there before we headed home. The only extra shirt she had in the car was my swimming rash guard. Guess I'll be all set for swimming lessons tomorrow morning!
