This has totally been the week of the amazing yard sale finds. Last weekend was the Ashburn Village community yard sale, where everyone was encouraged to have yard and garage sales at their homes, and people drive around and around looking for great finds. This weekend was the Ashburn Village community yard sale--same idea, different area. So, between the two weeks, I think we spent about $50 and came away with some serious steals. Samantha took to the little electronic keyboard immediately, singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star into the microphone like a natural! We also came away with a Little Tykes backyard slide ($3!!), a Kettler tricycle, a Zapf babydoll (wearing a bib that says "Samantha"--how could I resist?) with a 4-poster canopy bed, a couple of electronic toys, including one that teaches phonics, counting, etc., and some stuff for around the house. Great thing about this area is that a lot of the things people put out for yard sales is really good stuff, so this was quite exciting for us. I'm glad we didn't have our own yard sale (we'd already gotten rid of a ton of stuff before we moved) so we could take advantage of everyone else's.

By the way, Happy Mother's Day to everyone! Being a mom is the most special thing in the world to me, and Samantha is the BEST child anyone could ask for. Poop, snot, occasional bad attitude and all. :-)
