A couple of weeks ago, the boys and I helped my Aunt Michele with a garage sale.
The boys love to work at garage sales--LOVE TO!
Henry is especially good at helping people find hidden treasures! I kept hearing him asking things like: "Is there anything I can help you with?" and "Have you seen this over here?"
He's a natural born salesman--and quite entertaining to listen to!
All the boys spent a lot of time perusing the goodies that they were suppose to be selling. Some of the stuff that they asked for was just ridiculous--really? a 20 year old manicure kit?
I started putting limits on what they could put in their take home pile.
They eventually just started hanging around Uncle Terry, who was more than happy to send them home with anything they could get their hands on.
Amongst their many treasures, they each ended up with a container of screws, washers, nails, other random little metal pieces.
I originally fought it, but really is was some good junk for Uncle Terry to send them home with. They have spent so much time in the garage creating new inventions with all those little bits!
I guess I just don't look at things the way boys do. Good think Uncle Terry was there!
