A Classic.

I've felt a little off today, but not really sure why.  I'm sure I just need some more sleep, but I tried to be productive today.  We started off with our Sunday tradition of coffee and walking B down by town lake.  She loves to be outside, and I enjoy being with her and the boy embracing nature.  I wish I could start every morning this way.  Those two warm my heart.

We have had a pretty great weekend.  We kicked it off on Friday night by putting up signs for the yard sale, made by yours truly, and finally watching Inception.  I really enjoyed it and definitely think I need to watch it a second time to make sure I didn't miss anything.  7 a.m. Saturday morning kicked off our yard sale.  We rolled out of bed at 6 since we had to take everything out of the garage and set it up.  Really, all the items were just piled in one section of the garage.  This is the only picture I was able to take of the sale, which is a picture of the boys getting items out of the garage...

Right at 7, we had our first 'customer' and that started the whirlwind of the morning.  We were super busy at first with the hard core people, and then it tapered off after 11.  We decided to pack up around noon since we sold almost all of the items.  It was crazy how much we sold.  I was pleasantly surprised and we made about $300.   I was mostly surprised about how many of my shoes and clothes sold.  I'm not sure why, but I was not expecting that.  I really think they all found us by my awesome signs, but I also posted an ad on Craigslist.  We also didn't mark prices on anything and just let people ask if they were interested in an item.  It was a good day!

Since we spent so much time outside yesterday and got a lot of junk out of our garage, we decided to be productive and clean out the remaining items and organize.  This was mainly the boys, and I went off to tackle my own 'beasts'.  The boys did a great job on their projects, but this was mine.

And let me tell you, this remains of a tree is not my friend.  I had some choice words for it this afternoon.  Basically, it sits right up against the wall in our front walkway.  It is literally a pain in the butt and we can not dig it up.  All the roots have basically turned as hard as cement and we've tried so many different things, shovels, chain saw, and drill.  I really want it out, so if you have any solutions... Please let me know!!!  For now, it has won the battle.

For the first time, we got a car in the garage!!!  Woo.

This evening while the boys finished in the garage, I decided to whip up a classic treat that I haven't made in quite a while.  I tend to spice up this well known favorite with Cheerios or peanut butter, but tonight I kept it simple.  I mean how can you not love this
