Hooray for Garage Sales!

My friend, Andrea, mentioned in her blog that she found some great toys for her twin boys at a garage sale. I thought that was a great idea, especially since kids' toys can be pretty expensive. Phil and I were driving around looking at houses last Saturday and I spotted this dump truck at a garage sale. I got it for $2.25! It was marked $3 and Phil told me to offer them $2 with the extra quarter as my bargaining chip. I didn't quite understand that and just offered $2.25 from the start. He says I need practice with bargaining! Jackson's feet can't touch the ground yet, but he likes to sit on it and climb on it. The steering wheel turns the wheels and everything!


The metal rod that connects the red bucket to the back of the truck is missing, but when we replace that Jackson will be able to tip the bucket back and dump out whatever he put in it. I think he'll love that.



I think I'm hooked now. I'm going to go scout out some other garage sales this weekend. :)

What a great find on the truck! I bet he loves it after all the times Phil let him"help" drive! This site is so nice, I love hearing about your days and special things, you should do a blog on the Ross/vomit experience. Too bad you didn't get any pictures!! Love You and Miss You!
