Saturday morning madness

This morning Luke decided to wake us up at 4:30 am screaming and crying to watch Cars. We tried to get him to go back to sleep but he wouldn't have it so we alternated staying up with him. At 6:30 Megan woke me up so that we could go to the Seven Lakes High School garage sale. Even though it started at 8, by the time we went to Mcdonalds and the atm the sale was in full swing at 7:30. It had a flea market type feel and there was so much stuff and so many people I kind of felt like I was on the Amazing race. Luckily, there are TONS of families in our surrounding neighborhood and most of the things for sale were for kids. I was excited and exuberant about my wonderful purchases and I am sure Megan thought I was a little bit crazy. Maybe it was the sleep deprivation. Anyways, here's a look at what I found this morning.




A white toddler bath robe made out of the super soft towel material that feels like velvet. It has vehicles all over it and a hood! I have been looking online to find one for Luke for Christmas so this was an amazing find at $2.

Lightning McQueen rainboots in perfect condition in size 9-10. Luke wears an 8 right now so he even has room to grow. $2

A beautifully colored spinning globe $2. I have already taught Luke that we live in Texas.

Some glass jars to hold Megan's scrapbook embellishment collection. $2

3 different Wiggles dvds. All for $1. Maybe I can catch a break from Cars.

A set of 7 brand new how to draw books for the classroom. $2 Maybe when kids get bored, they won't start throwing things across the room if I tell them to learn to draw something.

3 sets of vintage lace trims including eyelet. Perfect for scrapbooking sweet little girls pages. $6

The Super Nanny parenting book and Jenny Mcarthy's book Baby Laughs. I can tell you I am really excited to read these. The super nanny one because Luke has been throwing little fits lately and I am unsure of how to handle them. I will be reading that book as fast as I can. I have also heard that Jenny Mcarthy's Baby Laughs is a witty and informative read. $1 a piece

I also stumbled upon a family that had the most amazing children books for sale in pristine condition. Either their kids hated to read or they had too many books. I can tell that most of them have never even been opened. What a shame. We got Walle, Five Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed, Miss Spider's Tea Party, Stellaluna, Owl Moon, The Berenstain Bears Learn about Strangers, and my personal favorite Ferdinand.

I also got Luke a few pieces of clothing and a cupcake shirt for my mom.
All in all it was a great morning with a great friend. I only spent $19. The best part is that I didn't buy any toys. Phew!

Here's a picture of us sans makeup but looking triumphant.



Also I cannot resist putting up this picture of Luke and his Daddy yesterday snuggling on the couch. What a lucky girl I am.
