Well, the garage sale wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be. Not something I'm penciling into the calender for next year either, though! People came early, of course, but they weren't going for the big stuff we had out - crib, kitchen table and chairs. They wanted the books and cds. The crib and table and chairs - our big ticket items - did sell relatively quickly, and the majority of the people came in the first couple hours. We sold barely any clothes, which really surprised me. We ended up making about $200, which is just a little short of the new front door we want. Cory still has a bunch of cds he's going to sell online, though, since he knew he'd get a better price for them.

After the sale, we took a few boxes to Goodwill and ran a couple other errands. We have a couple more boxes that I'll take to the childrens' consignment store and hopefully make a bit of money. And we have a few items that we're going to put on eBay. At least we got rid of some things!

I think it was a pretty boring day for Accalia. She conked out pretty early this evening, too. Cole took a late nap and has now just fallen asleep in my arms. Tonight we watched "Minority Report" with Cory's parents. Pretty good movie.

And so the sale is finished. Now I'm going to have to turn my energies to planning Cole's birthday party on Saturday and our own family celebration on his actual birthday (Wednesday). Cory's taking his birthday off, so that'll be really nice :)
