Garage Sale Season

Yeah, it is garage sale season! Although the weekends out here haven't been conducive to good garage sale weather, we have hit it big already. Our biggest find was a train table. Silas LOVES trains and we had a small track that we would play with on the floor. It worked fine and he thought it was great, but kind of a pain to constantly clean it up and always have to sit on the floor to play with it. I looked on craigslist and about had a heart attack when I saw how expensive people were still trying to sell them for used. So, I just put it to rest.

Well, we found one at a garage sale and it is amazing. It is in perfect shape and includes bins underneath with a ton of extra track to use! The family was moving to New Mexico and didn't want to take it with (although their boys weren't thrilled!) and so we benefited. It was $25.00 for the whole set (we actually ended up getting it for $23.00....long story). So it was quite the deal. Let's just say I have never played so much train in my entire life!

Some of our other deals were great clothes for .50 each, a hedge hog that makes Kurt's life much easier when trimming our bushes, tables for church, a garbage truck still in its box since Silas is enthralled with garbage trucks right now, and a book. Lots of fun and amazing stuff! Here are some pictures of Kurt and Silas playing train.
