We all had a bit of cabin fever, so I think the sale was less about clearing out our closets (though I am thrilled about that) than it was about getting outside.
We missed the cherry blossoms this year due to the week+ of rain. Every other year Evyn has gone over to our neighbor's yard to shake the petals off her cherry trees and make "pink snow." There were a few petals left this weekend - just a few.
"Aunt Chris" came the morning of the sale and played with the kids, gave Andrew his bath, and took Evyn shopping (big sister bought a stuffed bunny for Andrew, isn't she the sweetest?).
Our take for this year's yard sale season - here, and at Lori's house - was around $170. That was all kids clothing, so, not bad! And I still have bags to go to the consignment shop.
Afterward we enjoyed the sunshine, got ice cream from the ice cream truck, chased bubbles -- and took lots of allergy medicine. Yep, Evyn's allergies are still bad. So bad, the medicine has stopped working, so she is now on both Benadryl and Claratin. We've kept the house closed up & air conditioner on (how I miss opening windows to fresh spring air!) and she is doing OK, but we really NEED for her allergies to ease!
