Saturday was the Great American Yard Sale here on Fort Leavenworth. It's a post wide yard sale and almost every house sells their crap. People come from 100 mile radius to go to this thing and food vendors even come. It's getting smaller though, every year. It used to be so huge, but I think the hassle of non-decal cars having to be searched before entry on post deters some people now. I know some of the other army posts do yearly yard sales, but from what I hear, most of them are not as large as ours. I have been going to this yard sale yearly since I was a child. My mom used to drag me out of bed at 6am to get up here to "get the good stuff". This year we sold again, like we did last year. I had to get up at 6:30am and you know how much I love that. I had to help Kale drag everything out into the driveway. We made quite a bit of money and I was able to sell TWO of my strollers for $70, so that almost covered the cost of the Sit N' Stand. My mom, Nais, and I walked around a little, but I only bought a book for my FIL and an iron horse/horseshoe wall hanging for Aidan. My mom did get a stand up water dispenser for $25 that was a really good deal.
I am still waiting for a picture before I post about the baseball game. So maybe tomorrow. I forgot my camera, so I used my moms. And I keep forgetting to get her SD card from her.
I also found Sophia the cutest Skechers yesterday! I am not usually fond of characters shoes, but these were done so simply with out a lot of cartooniness, so to speak. I love Sketchers Bikers and she loved them, so we were sold on them. Plus they were on sale @ Jc Penney and I had a coupon for $10 off.
Have a great day!

I love to go yardsaling... it is so much fun!! it would be even better though to do it like you guys do... in one area... I wish I liked closer to you guys, I would have totally gone!! :)
glad you made some money and almost covered the cost of your new stroller with the sale of your other strollers. :)
i think one day i will maybe advance to a sit n stand b/c both the girls rarely want to sit at the same time, and then it would work good for all three kids. :)
I LOVE the sneakers, and I agree with you 100% about character shoes... but these are VERY tactful and SOOOOOOO cute! I might have to look for them in JC Penny by me for Brooke & Lauren who are CRAZY for Dora (and Diego too!) and also need some new sneakers. :)
Have a good day!!

This is the only one I usually go to, because it is so easy to go from house to house. It would be nice if you lived near us, get to know you in person.
They are really cute shoes and when I went, they were on sale for 27.99, really good for skechers.
I've been eyeballing those shoes for Jessamine.
