Christmas Morning! (oh, wait)

So Saturday we spent our morning seeking out endless garage sales with the hope of finding some cheap furniture that we could resell for a profit, using Craigslist. It's no secret that garage sales are cheap. And it didn't take us long to realize that Craigslist is not cheap. *Hmmm, how can we use this phenomenon to our advantage?* we asked ourselves. Rychen and I are generally two opposite personalities, but we both love to get weird ideas (especially money-making ideas) and just RUN with them!

So we did end up buying a futon, lazyboy chair, and a couch & chair set. (4 Peices for the grand total of $87) Earlier that day we had sold our own couch (paid: $0. sold: $100. profit: $100. net after tithing: $90.) So we put some of the furniture into our living room. Well well, that used garbage actually spruced up our living quarters quite a bit! It actually MATCHES now! I am not sure I want to resell them after all. Check this out.

Meanwhile, you can't go garage-shopping without coming back with a bunch of cheap toys for your 2-year old. Rychen P. received:

- a large plush Clifford dog

- a big plastic dragon that plays music and shoots balls down his tail

- LOTS of books

- a Boggle (?) word/flashcard game with letters dice

- a keyboard board book that plays notes, oh wait that actually broke the minute we walked in the door

...and of course, this was the same day that Great Grandma Huxford showed up with a HUGE table and TRAIN TRACKS SET!!!!!!

Goodness Gracious. It was like Christmas morning, except it was a hot afternoon in the middle of August. And as it turned out, Rychen P. got overstimulated and could not sleep that night! *sigh* Kids...
