I took the day off of work on Friday so that I could go to all the garage sales at Arlington Park. My mom met me early in the morning and we both found lots of great deals. I ended up finding 2 pairs of dress shoes that looked brand new for $3 a piece. And at another sale I found some awesome running shoes for $2, again looking brand new. There were some big coolers priced around $10 to $15 at a couple sales, but I wasn't going to pay that price. We stopped at one that had an Igloo cooler for $0.50! It had a broken handle, but still, that wasn't a big deal. I did get ripped off though at one place when I bought a pair of Walkie Talkies for the boys for $4 that the girl PROMISED worked. Well, they didn't. I even looked them up online when i got home and they were rated with 1 star out of 5 for poor product. All we heard was static when we put the batteries in. Oh well, the boys haven't stopped playing with them because they are in the shape of Marvel Comic action figures.
Saturday we went to Bryan to watch Savannah play soccer. She did so good. She carried her team scoring 5 goals! They won by 2. We were/are so proud of her! Her uniform wasn't very dirty after the game so in light of Nik telling her before the game that her jersey better be dirty after the game was over, she happily did a "pete rose" slide into the dirt that was in front of the goal. Gross!! :)
Sunday afternoon, we were offered a couple free tickets from our neighbors for a Tin Caps game. Nik and Savannah ended up going and I had a baby shower to attend. Nik's mom came from Ohio to watch the boys for us. Thank you Barb!! We appreciate you so much.
We are getting excited for vacation to Tennessee in the next couple of weeks. It will be great to get away!

I am so frustrated that we didn't hit the good sales Friday. Ugh. As we were leaving, we saw TONS of awesome ones, but of course didn't have time. Glad you had success though!
My mom got lots of great stuff for my girls at the Arlington garage sales. :) TN sounds like a great get-away. I love it down there!
Way to go Savannah!!! That's awesome;-)
I like that pic of Jordan - looks like the ice cream truck won.
