Toys & Togs Sale

The sale is now over and I wanted to share some pictures of the sale.  Unless you have ever attended one, you have no idea the magnetite of the sale!  I have no idea how much money the made, but I’d estimate that 75% of the stuff sold!  I wish I had remembered to take ‘after’ pictures, but it was to crazy!

Before people began loading in their stuff and a fairly empty gym!!


Pile of bikes & ride-ons – there was so much that you couldn’t walk around!


More toys!


The shoes tables

I was asked to go up into the ‘broadcasters booth’ (this was at the BCC gym) to take some above pictures for EMOMS.  I took a handful of pictures for myself as well!

 


Toys, Equipment, Media & Shoes

  
Clothes, Clothes & More Clothes!

So after seeing all these picture, I bet you now want to go shopping!!!  For your information the next sale will be April 10, 2010!  I hope to see some of you there!!  For more information see www.emoms.org!

I’ll update you on Charity & Julia’s totals when I hear what they are!  That’s the most fun part!!

Errands with Amy

Today both Amy & I had a bunch of errands to run and decided to run them together.  We went to her mom's house, BCC, safeway and the DOL to get her license renewed.  I knew of a DOL near BCC, so we decided to go there.  Amy checked online before we left and saw it had a 30minute wait time - so we figured that wasn't to bad and were on our way.   We get there and I'm not 100% sure where the place is so we circle the parking lot once and I decide the empty dark place IS the DOL...or at least used to be.  Sure enough I run up to the door and they have moved to a new location. 

Luckily the new location was only about 15 minutes away and still in the general area of the rest of our errands.  It only took her about 15 minutes and was in and out with her new license!  After that we headed back to her place and watched Biggest Loser and played Farkle the rest of the afternoon until I had to head to school.

I'm off to Charity's for our last night of tagging...I hope!  Tagging is kind of like wrapping Christmas presents, at first it's a lot of fun and you look forward to it, but at the end you are just done and never want to see another tag/present again!  That's kind of where I'm at!

300th Post!!

This is my 300th post on my blog... how silly is it that I document that sort of thing...I'm so weird!  LOL!  But still that's a lot of posts and memories I have written down on this thing!  I enjoy looking back over my posts and remembering what was going on when!!

I just wanted to inform you people that below each post there are 3 boxes that say Reactions: Funny, Interesting and Cool - after you read my blog you can check any or all of the boxes depending on what you thought about my blog!!

Happy Tuesday!!

Girl Hair!

It's been so fun to see Julia have Mackenzie and get to dress her all girlie over the past 2 years...but now that Miss Brooke has joined us she has 2 gorgeous girls to make pretty!  Yesterday, Julia curled their hair and put it up in a cute ponytail with coordinating bows!  They were absolutely adorable!!  Julia is soooo excited to have 'girl hair' to be able to fix!  I know she can't wait for them to have a little bit more, so she can do more things with it! 

I'm hanging out in Camano a few more hours, and then its off to school for me this afternoon!  Happy Monday!!

Tagging at Julia's

Alex, Brandi & I came up to Camano yesterday morning to get all of Julia's tagging done for the Emoms sale this coming weekend.  Click HERE to see what it entails to 'tag'!  Julia is selling all of her babies stuff now that Brooke is back with them, so there is a TON of big items to sell!  We probably tagged more than 300 items (400 total) yesterday.  We had quite the system going, I'd iron the clothes and they'd tag! 

Piles of Clothes!

Mackenzie helping us!

This morning we finished sorting the items and then packed up their Blazer full and Brandi's car with as much stuff as we could! I'll drive the Blazer home and keep it my house until Friday.  Julia will come down with the Suburban on Friday with the remainder of her stuff. We're hoping they can get the rest in that car!

I'm guessing Julia will hit $2,000, so we shall see!  The sale is the coming Saturday!  If you are in the area and are in need of childrens things you really should stop by!  There are over 150 people selling clothes, equiptment, toys, bikes, etc!  Everything for premies-teens!

We took a couple of pictures of Julia and all 4 kids this morning!  It was difficult to get everyone to look at the camera, so these are the best two!

And here are a couple of MacKenzie & Brooke playing a few days ago!!  How precious are they??

Welcome Home Sweet Baby Girl!

After a very long journey with lots of mountains to climb, I’m excited to announce that Brooke is legally Julia & Alec’s daughter and Aiden, Connor & MacKenzie’s sister!
Brooke is adorable and I was honored to get to be there when Julia picked her up yesterday!!  We had a great time on our drive back to Seattle, she’s so stinkin’ cute!!  I miss her already now that I’m back home, but I will be up there this weekend and I can hardly wait!!

Welcome Home Sweet Baby Girl!  We’ve missed you so much and are so excited to be able to spend the rest of our lives with you!  You are more loved then you will ever know!!

BIG NEWS!

The Munro’s have some really big news that goes along with some of the previous posts I’ve made!!  I wish I could share it…but want to make sure it’s okay before I do!!  So you will all have to wait a little bit longer!!
But in the meantime, here’s a couple of teaser shots of Julia & I making an exciting sudden trip!


Life is great and ANYTHING can happen!!

Is it Groundhogs Day?

Yes, I know it's really not Groundhogs Day...but I swear it must be de-ju-vu....and I've been through this day three times prior!  This is all just crazy, can't believe it's happening again.  Only time will tell...Please join me and be *wishing*hoping*praying* for the craziness going on.  Maybe later this week I'll be able to talk about it, but for now mums the word!

MADISON & EMMALEE names

Jaime & I went to Ben Franklin today too look around and saw the cutest display of wooden letters that were embellished!  We decided it would be a fun afternoon activity if we made the letters for Madison & Emmalee!
Step 1: Buy wooden letters

Step 2: Paint them the color of your choice

Step 3: Embellish them!  We used little sticker dots, ribbon and flowers to decorate the letters.  The colors we used were lime green & pink – which are the colors of their room.  Brandi got home in time to help us decorate them!

Step 4: Display them!  Jaime plans on hanging them above the girls’ beds.  She bought ribbon to hang them from, but we gave up for the night, so they aren’t hung yet!

Madison also wanted to get in on the fun!  She got 3 wooden hangy things to paint and decorate.  She was very excited to be painting and doing arts & crafts with us!  She was just annoyed that she didn’t get to help with the letters!
Painting- Jaime did something really cool, she put Madison’s paints in a ice cube tray!  It worked really well!
    
Embellishing: Madison had fun using some of Brandi’s scrapbooking supplies to decorate her art!
  
I can’t wait until they get hung up, they are really cute!
