A HUGE Success!

Riley wanted to try to be the Coyote!

The massive amount of STUFF. This was on the last day too! :)


The highlight of the entire sale for Riley. Teacher Cheryl came to see him! He squealed in delight as he spotted her across the yard! She stayed and ate lunch with him. She is definatley and angel to him. We love her dearly. I doubt she would ever know how much she has done for us.

Matthew as the Coyote and Kaitlyn as the Chicken! :)

It rained. Twice. Hard. Maxine being the crazy lady we love! She later graduated to a huge, horrible, floral, plastic hat! :) Gotta love her!

Coyote Joe hard at Work!

Well here I am, over a week later blogging away. What a week it has been. We spent every day since last Sunday outside from early in the morning until 1 am (at least) outside. Sorting, arranging, tossing, pricing, thousands and thousands of things. At last our sale was ready to start! It covered our entire front yard and driveway (which is not small) and was overflowing into the street. By friday....we were beat. I could not believe that our sale had not even started.

Friday was a complete success, then onto Saturday, and Sunday. We sold and sold and sold. We had some people coming up and driving by just handing donations. We had people buying Team Riley Jam for $10 a jar. Or buying a Hershey Kiss for $20! It was a humbling experience. I am still in shock over it.

There is no way we could have done it without the help of some very dear people. If I forget somebody I will apologize now. We are still trying to recoup! :) I will try my best to remember everybody who played a part in this.

my dear husband and children for bearing with us, eating at strange times, late bedtimes, and dealing with pure craziness for a week.

And all of the neighbors, friends,strangers and family who donated, spread the word, dealt with nightmare traffic on our street or came to our sale! We could not have done it without you!

THANK YOU!

We will never forget this experience. Not only because it was so time consuming and such hard work to pull off. But the lessons we learned, the tears we have cried, the pure exhaustion, the laughs, the sleepless nights, and the new friends. What an emotional experience. We are so very blessed.

I have a couple of stories that I would like to share from this experience. Heartwarming, tear jerking stories. I will NEVER forget. I will share them next time!
