Saturday morning, I went to my first garage sale this year. It was actually a sponsored children's sale at a middle school, so it was a pretty big sale. I was surprised to see several people there at 8am when it opened. I didn't find any clothes for my boys, but I did find 2 pair of jeans for Savannah. One was for $1 and the other had a small hole in one of the knees, so it was marked free!! But the best deal I got came from the toy section. Now, we have a ton of toys at home, so I don't usually go toy shopping, but as I was scanning the table of toys, I came upon a giant sized (14" tall) Buzz Lightyear toy for $3 that talks and makes lazor sounds. I quickly snatched it up because, as I am sure you remember from the Christmas pictures I had posted of Carter in his Buzz Lightyear dress-up outfit, he LOVES Buzz, and sometimes, proclaims that he is Buzz himself. He has probably watched the movie (I am embarressed to admit) over 20 times.
But that's not all, as I walked over to the next table, I found a giant talking Woody doll for $0.50 and beside him sat a giant talking Jesse doll for $0.50 as well!!! It was Toy Story heaven. :)
I couldn't leave Jordan out of the mix, so I looked for anything to do with Winnie-the-Pooh and I found a large Tigger stuffed animal. When I got home, the boys were super excited to see my "finds" and they played with them all day long. Carter even wanted to take Buzz at his naptime.
The coolest thing though, is that I looked up the same Buzz Lightyear doll that I found at the garage sale on Ebay, and there were 2 of them going for around $30 each!!

That is so cool. Don't you just love too see them *so* happy over the little things, which to them of course is huge.
Yeah, I was going to get one of those for Elijah for Christmas last year (Buzz) and they were too expensive for a doll. So cool that you got such good deals!! I'm so glad it's the beginning of garage sale season.
That makes me soooo excited about coming up for the sale next weekend!!! Can't wait!!
Those toys are in amazing condition. What a find! Just want you to know, since you corrected Danielle's "tomOrrow" that the Buzz Lightyear toy makes "laser" sounds. :-)
