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 figured it out....

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.

Born 5:32am on Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 7lbs 11.5oz 21 inches long He came before the pitocin which made Mama very happy & he's 100% all natural. It was tough, but I admit I'm proud of myself for doing it! Labor story to come, but first I must eat a cinnamon roll....

The Screaming

Someday I'll stop posting about my daughter's inability to sleep & the screaming. But today's not the day! New developments from the house of NO SLEEP. Now instead of going to bed awesomely on a very regular basis, she NEVER goes to bed! Not only does she NOT go to bed, she still wakes up in the middle of the night! She still will not sleep in her crib and she still screams for hours and hours. It's getting worse! I guess be careful what you complain about, eh? Last night she cried, no, screamed, from the time we put her down (just after eight) until almost 10 o'clock. Steve or I would go in every 15 minutes or so to "comfort her" (fat lot that did) and she was incredibly CLINGLY, grabbing on for dear life. What is going on? Finally nearish to ten I got her up and brought her downstairs WHERE she was happy as a lark. Playing with Beavis, climbing on us, requesting Baby Einstein videos (declined). I was exhausted and wanted to go to bed. So much for any...
