A few fabulous finds.

I always tell myself I can walk away from anything. I don't HAVE to have it, but if the price is right...sign me up. Saturday I got to enjoy the day doing one of the many things I love about the summer. Garage Sales. There is something about them that I just get a thrill out of it. I have honestly been this way since I was a little girl. I still remember going to the Mill Creek g-sales with my pocket full of change and leaving with a bundle of goods. In a since I pay people to do my shopping. Only it is a lot less then what they bought it for :) My first find was this cute little decorative pillow. The color matches my living room perfectly and I was a little nervous because it didn't have a price tag on it. I was nervous because I fell in love with it and was scared that I might have to walk away. Well much to my surprise it was only 25 cents. Sold.
The mirror was my next find. I instantly saw it and new exactly were I was going to put it. Right in my entry way. It has the 1950's feel to me and I thought it was just to cute to pass up. The tag said 3 dollars, but she was willing to go down to 2. Sold.
All in all I spent $5.75 and I got a dress, boots for Norah (which don't fit so they will be given to some other sweet little girl), 10 chalkboard slates, a sleeping bag, 2 winter hats, 1960 leather boots from Italy, a 1953 silk kimono (for my grandmother), a purse, and a cute little outfit for Norah. It was a good day.

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"
