Kid's Yard Sale

Saturday, the girls had a yard sale. Prices were reasonable.

We put six signs up around the neighborhood. Items were attractively displayed in the driveway.

I called families in the ward with kids the girls' ages who lived nearby. The event was staffed by professionals intent on making a sale.

But, despite all this, there were only three customers. The girls did make some money off each other, however. In a moment of weakness I agreed to let them each buy three things when the yard sale was over. Five girls times three things I had struggled to get rid of back in the house. It did end the day on a happy note, though. Next time it all goes to DI!
