life in general that is expensive, but in summer there is a solution...have a Yard Sale!!! Last year Boo and I decided to clean out a lot of our old junk (I mean A LOT) and have a yard sale just to get rid of it...well, after a 
two weekend, everyone collecting together as much crap as they can, huge money making event, we realized we might be on to something. Needless to say, we knew we were going to do it again this year!
This year the yard sale was even more of a multi-family event. We had stuff from all of the ZPO's except for Charing, who did a yard sale the
weekend before with her mom, plus my parents, grandparents and my friend Laura. The amount of stuff was truly overwhelming. How did we have so much stuff when it seemed like we sold everything we didn't want last year?!?!Boo and Missy worked especially hard to get a ton of
stuff priced and some kind of organization to the madness. Boo made wonderful signs that we will be able to use lots of times! On Friday at six am (that's right!) I met Boo, Missy and Chris at their house to get signs
out and everything set up. When we opened the door at 6:30 to start pulling things out...there were people waiting in their car's! They came running up to start looking. crazy.
I was off to work a little later in the morning, but Boo and Missy were there to work the sale. Cory brought Wes to Boo in the late morning, so he was great entertainment. Mom came by on Friday to help out after Missy had to go to work. Candice came by when she got out of
class, and Liz and Cory came when they were off work. Thank goodness for Boo...she was there the entire time! That night Liz, Cory, Wes, Nick and I were all at Boo's for a half-way 
done cookout. It was really nice, but we were already so tired!The next morning we were back up and at it by six. Liz and Wes came by
with delicious breakfast around 10:30...God bless her! Mom and Dad dropped by to check on us, and Laura came with Rice Crispy treats. Candice was also back in there to help and helped us bring it all back in. It was so nice to have so many people help out when they could!
All in all the sale was a HUGE success! We made a lot of money for our trip to Vegas, or for whatever everyone else wants to use it for. The funny thing was...once we pulled it all
back in the garage...it looked about the same. SOOOOOO...we are doing it again in a couple of weeks! Why not?? It is all priced and organized. Might as well make some more money!
