Sale, Storm

The garage sale went pretty well. We got rid of most everything, except clothes. I was shocked at how little people even looked at the clothes. We had some good, barely touched clothes in there, I think people are nuts. But after a very messy, stressful week, we earned an extra $250 bucks. That will really help us out on our trip to Utah... that's a lot of Happy Meals on the road. Then a friend of mine arranged for the rest of it to be picked up for a sale that benefits charity, so it was all hauled away at no cost to us! That was great. Our house is so decluttered now!




















This last week we had a really bad thunder storm go through Dallas. Luckily we are usually either just south or just north of the really bad weather. This storm had a lot of funnel clouds and tornado warnings. It was so weird to watch it pass from our back yard.





Brynley loves songs and singing. She's addicted to Barney and knows most of the songs and the dance moves to go along with them.


Mariska is sad her little preschool is over for the year, but she's pretty excited to be in the Library Reading Club... it's really no biggie. It's just the regular library summer program where you earn tickets for books you read and at the end of the summer you can buy prizes with your tickets. But the word "club" makes her super excited.


We're so excited for our trip to Utah! We leave in just over 3 weeks. I can't believe how fast the time has gone!

I miss having real thunderstorms. Oh wait, I've never had them in SoCal. Lame. Glad you guys were safe, though!

And Brynley's singing is about the cutest thing I've ever heard. Seriously!

The garage sale was a big blessing for us. It will certainly help on our trip.

Brynley slurs all her words so much. She is so sweet, I love singing with her!
