Our summer bucket list was long this year. The kids had so many ideas of things to do! We have crossed off a lot, some we marked out as 'not going to happen' and we are still working on the last few before we leave for our trip next month!
One of the items was to have a yard sale. Every time we move (which has been a lot!) we always seem to have a space or a room that is full of stuff. It's usually embarrassing if people see it. In the last house we had it all in the attic and had plans of building shelves and organizing it all. That never happened. So, here we are almost 10 months in our new house and we are finally getting around to going through all of that 'stuff' and cleaning it out!
We built up a pretty big yard sale pile and threw a bunch of garbage bags full of trash away. The kids wrote both yard sale and lemonade stand on our bucket list so we killed 2 birds with 1 stone. It wasn't our best yard sale (we aren't on a high traffic street anymore!) but we did okay!
I was really proud of the kids for putting the money they made from selling lemonade and cookies in the Disneyland jar. We made enough that day to finally fill it all the way up! We are ready to go next month!
It's always hard to sell toys when the kids are around! They were pulling everything off the tables and playing!

Another thing they came up with for our list was a pie eating contest! I found some tiny, single serving pies at the grocery store that were perfect. They decided to make the contest to be who ever ate it first won. Daniel was not allowed to use his hands because we all knew he could eat that in about 4 bites! At one point I really thought Addie was going to win but then she started to slow down!

Johnny finished 2nd!
And Addie #3.
I chose to be the photographer and eat my pie leisurely later. :)
