One of my favorite things about spring and summer is garage sales. I know my mom is laughing as she reads this because I used to groan when my mom would drag me to them. I now love the chance to find cheap clothes and toys for the kids (and sometimes for me!). This last weekend was one of my favorite sales... a church kids sale down the road. Since finding it I try to make it a yearly event. This year I scored some pretty good deals. My favorites were the Radio flier trike with bell and streamers for $10! It's in mint condition and provides another option to fighting over our existing trike.
I really bought it for Samuel, but he can't quite pedal it yet so Amelia likes to show him the ropes.
My other great find was several costumes. Amelia loves dress up and especially the princess characters. She has been begging for some new costumes. The ones we got her at Christmas have lost their luster. At the Disney store some cost as much as $40-50. I refuse to pay this!! I spotted this snow white costume from across the room and dashed to it! I briefly debated the $10 price thinking it was a bit high and then realized that was better than the store and it was a church sale. :) I also got a Arial costume for $5.
We have been playing a lot of dress up at our house. Today Amelia was snow white and Samuel was a lion. Amelia has also been asking for a prince so I dress Samuel up in a tie and they march around together. They both love this game. It is so cute!! Amelia will then fall down and go to sleep (like snow white) and wait for her "prince brother" to kiss her and wake her up. Samuel willingly goes along with this game playing and will now sometimes even initiate it.
