So much for getting a summer "break"! :)

UPDATE: Evening #1 of the sale: over $250($246.45 + what the kids made selling brownies and soda, but they took that $$ to music camp b/c who knows why + what Austin owes for the toys he bought...I did keep pulling things out of the house they had dragged in...hehehe)!!! Enough to provide care for one kiddo for an ENTIRE month, all in three short hours!! And two more days to go and lots more junk to sell! I noted that our place would be a garage sale location when we were looking at buying it, and I was right. Every car that entered the two large subdivisions having sales has to drive right by our house. Praise the Lord for all that HE provides!!!

The big kids started swim team today, they have music camp every night this week, and I thought I could fit in a garage sale in between all of that!

Hannah taking a break after a lap...they only swam 50 or more of them!

This was the garage a few days ago...I have done some more organizing, had more people come by with stuff, made the brownies for the kids to sell, and we are ready to go this afternoon! Pray that we will be able to send a good amount to Eagle's Nest to care for the kids caught between the "systems"...and that I can get rid of all of this stuff!
