We had our neighborhood yard sale over the weekend and were able to get rid of a bunch of stuff. We made a decent amount of money too, but its value pales in comparison to the joy of being rid of so much stuff and being able to pass through the garage without having to limbo.
But the best part of the yard sale was Lily's participation. She has been talking about having a lemonade stand at this yard sale ever since we started dreaming about it as a way to get rid of a bunch of stuff. She decided to go with a donation model and offered free lemonade in exchange for donations to the Children's Hospital. It was amazing to watch as people who would haggle with me and Emily over a nickel approached Lily and dropped money in her jar by the dollar. We wish we had taken some photos of her in action, but will have to settle for her counting the proceeds and a snapshot of the receipt for her donation.....all told she raised $22.67 and counted out the money (with a little help from me).
And CJ just wanted her picture taken.....its hard to ever deny that request :)
