Profits

Our garage sale yesterday went great, our total profits for the day totaled $750. My husband had sold a bicycle and a cutting torch earlier in the week, we were going to put them in the garage sale too, so that adds $200 to our total. We still have tons of baby girl clothes left (even though we sold lots), so I think we're going to have another sale in September or October. Surprisingly hardly anyone bought the baby girl winter clothes, and most were in awesome shape. I guess it's hard to get in the mood to buy winter clothes when it is in the high 80s outside. Hopefully, people will be a little cooler at our next sale, and we'll sell the rest of the clothes.

I made our first purchase yesterday for our baby boy, I bought a nice winter blanket, four outfits, a knitted sweater, gown and five sleepers. I plan on going to a local shop in town that sells dressy clothes this week. I need to buy some church outfits, socks and shoes. Everywhere I have looked at boys clothing, I haven't seen any clothes appropriate for church. Hopefully this specialty store in our town will have what I'm looking for. My husband and I went to Old Navy yesterday after the sale, and I was surprised buy how little they had for baby boys. The girls section was at least twice as big as the boys, and they only had two infant sleepers. So I didn't know where to start looking for boy clothes, but my husband suggested Kohl's so we headed over there. That's where we bought all of the clothing, then we went to TJ Maxx and bought the blanket. I'm really trying to resist the preemie clothes because all three of the girls wore preemie sizes for the first couple of weeks, but I'm sure this boy will be bigger than they were. So newborn is as small as I'll be buying, unless he is really tiny at birth. Although the newborn sizes look so tiny, I know they'll probably still be a little big on our little guy. Oh, I just discovered that we can use two blankets and seven pairs of booties from our youngest daughter for this baby too, everything else has to be bought.
