Today, Daddy and I got up very early (five AM!) to get everything set up for our first ever Jones family yard sale. We've been gathering things for the past couple of weeks and cleaning and pricing items all this past week. The weather was warm (in the 90s!) and sunny and we had quite a crowd of early bird shoppers show up before seven AM. Daddy did most of the wheeling and dealing as I took care of you, Little Miss. Daddy did such a good job preparing, interacting with shoppers and cleaning up/clearing out all the leftover stuff afterwards! The yard sale was seven AM to noon with eleven AM to noon being half off the sticker price. This "blow out" sale wasn't as popular as we thought it would be- the majority of our shoppers showed up before ten AM. After the yard sale was complete, Daddy loaded up the car and took all the leftovers to Salvation Army to donate. Overall, we had a VERY successful and profitable yard sale. This is pretty impressive considering most items were not priced over five dollars!

Yard Sale
Katy participated in the Yard Sale by being our "cute factor." No, baby wasn't for sale- she's OURS and she's a KEEPER!
