Garage Sale booty

We went out last week looking for bargains at some garage sales. Mom won't let Dad go out on his own for some reason so we all headed out with Emily and Natalie in tow. First off it was a little disappointing. The ones we went to were advertised as HUGE multi family garage sales (30+ families! today only! Come early!) Yeah right. Both places we went to had maybe 3-4 four families participating. It was very disappointing. And it was crazy go nuts! There were so many people milling about these places it was like someone was giving out free chimichangas! Anyway, despite all that, we managed to enjoy ourselves and spend $21 on some great garage sale booty. We got some lincoln logs and doll house for Natalie, a lamp for the piano, some pants for mom, some good books for Natalie, a bag for dad, some toy cars and some other misc stuff. Dad tried to talk Mom into getting a HUUGE box of hot wheels track and road pieces (you know those kind you can link together and make all sorts of cool race tracks? For only $15! It was a steal!) But Mom said nay, and we settled on the lincoln log train track set, which Natalie loves. It's kind of like our DI fix since we don't have one out here.
