City Wide Garage Sales

Everything we bought!! Can you believe it?
A closer look at our garage sale steals!
Grace's new $2 dress for her dress up box (thank you nana!). It is made entirely of sequins.
Grace apparently takes after me, she didn't like the scratchy neck.
A pop up bed for traveling, complete with princess sleeping bag. A hit with both of my princesses.

Well another city wide garage sale weekend has come and gone. My mom & mother-in-law came once again to join in the bargain hunting expedition. We are crazy, did I mention that? We left the house at 6:30 am. It was so much fun. Here are my favorite purchases this go round.
-A khaki colored oversized chair $60 (I was super excited I have been looking forever!)
-The pink pop up princess bed
-A super cute Old Navy coat for Grace for $5
-A Leap Frog Letter Radio for $.50 (Grace LOVES it!)
-Lots of cute dresses for both the girls.
-Fun clothes/hats for our dress up box
-An antique looking fire engine car for $30(This was my mom's big purchase for her photography business)

Probably the funniest moment this time was all three of us ladies driving around in the country at 10 o'clock trying to figure out where a sale for the next day was that wasn't on the map. Did I mention we are crazy??

Family Weekend Part II

As you can see from the slideshow we had a lot of fun visiting my sister at WIU two weekends ago. Grace loved getting to see JoJo's new school. She got to see her apartment & then we had to eat at HyVee. (One of Jeremy's old favorites!) After that we went to play at a "park" (the playground of WIU's on campus daycare). Grace loved every minute.... Here is her version of the day.
