Monday rids & our golf outing w/ Salisbury Church!

If you golfed from sitting in this chair...you won a lazy boy recliner...we didn't win. :(

I'm not a golfer...can u tell?

Jesse actually broke this club (not his or anyone else's in our group) on a practice swing...I told u Brett was the only professional in our group!

Nice practice swing!

My man!

Aaron was wanting to get in a pic...see his get-up!!! He would have won "out-fit of the day award" had there been one!

Shot of the broken club...for insurance...lol.

Wow...look at that dirt fly!

I think its in my best interest not to pick up my children's toys anymore...its so exhausting and never ending! (even when they help put them away)

1. A set of awesome partylite spiral hanging tea lite candle holders. I do like them a lot, but I don't have anywhere cool to hang them. Asking $7 for both. And I don't have the original boxes.

2. Tossing a pair of undies...too big! WooHooo bye bye baby fat.

3. A pink dressy scarf

4. Brainy Baby DVD ABCs

5. A butterfly pendant.

We had a great time at the Golf Outing yesterday. It drizzled rain for a short period, but it didn't slow us down. Out of our group of four only Brett really knew how to play golf. It was the professional in our group...and he really is GREAT at golf. Enjoy the photos!

Sat and Sun rids!

I had to dig a little to get these...if I would just go to the basement I could find a ton in minutes, but for the weekend this will work.
1. A really nice wallet w/ a calculator in it for the checkbook, I got another a garage sale this weekend, so this one can easily go to my garage sale pile.
2. A glass pie pan...some women need more than one pie pan...I'm not one of them.
3. A scarf. Mom if u want it, u can have it. I made it for my Aunt Brenda...Mom gave it to me when my Aunt passed, but I don't need it...someone out there does! A friend once said...if you have more than one of just about anything...you have stolen from the poor! Something to think about!
4. A big ball of yellow yarn.
5. A tube of Mary Kay lipstick...Dusty rose for those interested...I only used it once.
6. A hair pick
7. Another hair pick
8. A hair brush
9. I tossed out an old box of baby cereal.
10. I'm throwing away my yucky flipflops. :( I liked them a lot.

One pair of baby mittens...garage sale pile.
Two empty wine bottles...not sure why we were keeping them...weird.
A fairy tale book
A syringe and a sippy cup top...trash
I feel like this is little stuff that is not going to make a big difference. I think I may need to dig deeper.
5 Eli tops and three pairs of his pants...either posting on "buy sell trade" or garage salin em'.
Enough for today...how did u do?

Today I got rid of....

1. A white basket for like bigger items...I'm sure this could be useful, but its sit in the garage for over a year and I haven't used it...to the garage sale pile.
2. Another basket for pens and pencils..garage sale pile.
3. A Bop CD...probably should have went to the trash, but I threw it in the garage sale pile with everything else. I typically donate stuff that doesn't sell at my garage sales. I'm adament about taking my garage sale money and going out to the garage sales and buying clothes and toys for my kids. In Chicago...my sister-in-law and I hit a sale and she got a brand new lego type set for her son...she is saving it for Christmas...Terrific!

FIVE A DAY

Check out www.Treasuringtime.blogspot.com

I have posted some cute little Halloween cards for sale!

On another note...I want to challenge you to get rid of five items a day! We American can live with so much less. As I was pondering more on this idea (I picked the idea up from the newspaper yesterday)...I looked around and I thought...geez...five items a day will be easy at the start! I am going to try it for one month! Do u want to join me in this challenge? Don't throw your items in a landfill! Have a garage sale, consign or just give them away! Let me know if you are joining me and post the items you get rid of daily! They don't have to be big items.
Today I got rid of...
A butterfly belt (geezz..I can't even remember the last time I wore it!)
A handband from Guatemala
A votive candle and its holder
A toy car (my son won't even notice)
Some baby wash clothes

I wonder if I'll even notice anything different at the end of one month!

~HE DELIGHTS IN YOU~

The Lord you God is with you...He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with signing. Zephaniah 3:17
