Park Point Rummage Sale


I'm not much of a rummage saler at all, but my thinking has changed now that Dahlia is in my life. I enjoy finding cheap pants at the thrift store or at a sale that i know she'll just blow the knees out of anyway. I like buying an almost new hat for less than 1/2 it's Gap price. Dahlia is the key. Baby clothes are the way to go.

So when my friend Heather invited me to go to the annual Park Point Rummage Sale today I said YES! Even though I should've been working around the house, I couldn't resist. The day is beautiful and Dahlia needs pants!

I also was looking for a toddler sized camp-chair which I haven't found....I shall continue my hunt.

What we did get though was this:

6 pairs of pants
1 sleeper
10 shirts
1 dress

all for $11.60! Yes!

I also got her a SUPER ridiculously cute navy & white dress (very classic style) with matching hat for $5. It is a 4T so lord knows when she'll fit into it but I just couldn't resist.

We also picked up a tub full of blocks (all shapes & sizes) for $3.00.

And a bag of mini-donuts for $3.50 (man those used to be so much better and so much cheaper! I think my old lady body just can't handle them any more. I have more than half a bag left...any takers?)

So my total for today was $23.10.

Not bad for a morning's work.

Excellent bargain hunting! Next, you can come here and look through all my stuff for free. :) There's probably as much in my basement as on the whole of Park Point! (Maybe it just feels that way...)

I love rummage sales. I think half my possessions are from such a venue.

Kids make you a fan of garage sales. There is just no other way to get through toddler years! (and grade school years, I'm learning!)

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
