Two dollar bag day!

I've been seeing signs for a garage sale at the fairgrounds, so I decided this morning to go - with Liam. We'd already been up since 6:45 and it was time for a change of scenery anyways. So we put the stroller in the trunk and headed off.

The first signs I saw for a garage sale led to a small sale - nothing exciting or very enticing. I managed to find a few kid's books, but I was thinking, "They opened up the fairgrounds for this?" The nice man at the cash register gave Liam a hippo key ring, but that didn't really make it worth the trip.

As we were heading back toward the car I spotted people coming out of another building with bags in their arms. I investigated and found the Wood County Humane Society garage sale. It was two dollar bag day! So we bought a bag and headed in. Clothes and kitchen items didn't interest us much, but we found some toys and games at the back. Filled a bag and took it out to the car. But I still hadn't made it over to the books, so I bought another bag and headed over. They weren't great, so after we'd taken the good ones we headed back over toward the toys. Liam was begging to get out of the stroller by this time, so I put the bag in the stroller and let him walk. Went pretty well until he started crawling around on the floor pushing cars. Dirty floor. We even got to say "Hi!" to our friends the Yu's.

When we got home we headed straight out to the back deck to wash the new toys (mostly cars and "shovels"). I took Liam's pants off him so they wouldn't get messed up. It's a good thing. His bottom got wet and grime from the deck rubbed off on his diaper cover. But we got the toys washed and brought them in the house. Finally Liam was free to PLAY! Had to stay in the kitchen, though since some of the cars were still wet.
