Wow. Have you ever taken 3 kids yard sale-ing with you? I don't recommend it. Well, at least not with my three kids. Yesterday I listened to a perpetual chorus of "Momma momma momma momma momma momma momma!" accompanied by dolls and games and toys being shoved into my face and hands. I guess one can't expect small children to appreciate the fun of picking through others' refuse.
I was hoping to score some fabric, vintage linens and maybe some crazy-daisy Corelle dishes to go with the ones I found at Goodwill a few months ago. Unfortunately, I came home empty handed but the kids scored big time! I ended up with a ton of great clothes for them. Macy got some cute jeans and a girly pink t-shirt. Fletcher got a nice fleece winter jacket, three pairs of pants, and madras shorts. Felix didn't fare as well, but did end up with a pair of shorts. All that for $6.00. And they were all nice brands like Gymboree, Children's Place and the Gap.
Today we visited some friends for a barbecue where Macy was given a big bag of adorable, barely-worn clothes and a very nice jacket with tags still on it!
Fletch also has a friend a year older than him who always gives him the clothes that he's outgrown.
I feel like I've hit the lottery each time we're given a bag of clothing or make a great yard sale find. Kids seem to outgrow clothing before they wear it out anyway, so I'm very grateful that we've been spared such a big expense.
