Garage Sale and Karate

This weekend was the usual flurry of activity in the Fryar household. On Saturday May 3rd we are having our first garage sale since being in Hidden Valley. So that means going through all the junk we have stored since moving in.

We have been slowly going through the basement, closets and garage for the last few weeks, but this weekend we went whole hog. It started by just carting up boxes from the basement and rummaging through them. Must be why garage sales are called rummage sales.

We convinced the kids (Ok just BG) that they will get all the money from any toys they sell. So we also went through all of their toys and took probably a third of them. Of course the instant the older toys came out Aiden loved them all. We saved a few and pried the others out of his hands, ok not really.

So far we are mostly done with pricing but are realizing that we are out of room in the garage. The weather is not cooperating with us so most things will have to stay on tables inside due to rain. I will probably be building a few temporary tables this week.

More of the sale after the weekend.

Karate, BG started classes a few weeks ago but last Friday he had his first “test”. He demonstrated 7 karate moves w/o parental help and won a ribbon. Below is a shot of him in one of the moves and his ribbon. He also was supposed to start Tee-Ball this past Monday but stayed home due to an ear infection. Wednesday is his next class and I hope he feels well enough to go.
