Rain, rain go away!

It is supposed to be rainy here today so that means my plan for taking the kids to a free movie is on! We have only made it to one other free movie this summer. Last summer we went to about one per week. A year ago, it rained all summer long. This summer has been better, thank goodness.

There is not much else going on today. Yesteday was a busy, normal-ish day. We went to the park, got groceries, and I got all the laundry done. We have earned our easy movie day. I do still need to get into the kids' rooms, however. We are planning to have a garage sale in the near future. The kids are pretty excited about selling some of the toys that they do not use anymore and making a profit off of them. It is not a bad idea. But to really do this, I think we need to pick a date and stick to it. A deadline will help me get organized.

I bet Princess will want to have a Lemonade Stand at the garage sale too. She is quite the little entrepreneur. I am not sure even how to price things. I guess we will just guess!

I never know how to price things, either. I always go too high or too low.

i always go to a few yard sales the weeks before, it helps me decide if i am selling things for too much or too little. i also take all of our "good gently used" clothing to consignment shops instead....so i get a little more for them. it's worth it to take it to a "once upon a child" or something like that.

J always bakes cookies, brownies and cupcakes...she sells a lot. she usually bags the cookies 3 for $.50 cuts the brownies REALLy big and sells them for $1 and sells the cupcake for $.75 people DO buy them if they are wrapped nice and displayed really cute...it's worth the extra effort.
