4th of July Weekend

Things have been pretty busy around here. Since getting back from Costa Rica we have finally finished the siding and window job out past Buffalo. It's so nice not having to drive clear out there everyday. We have since been prepping our house in Lewistown, getting it ready for the big excavation tomorrow. We've also been working on the basement bathroom. We have one coat of mud on so far.

On Friday we had a little BBQ with some friends and family. We had some yummy buffalo and whitetail brats. It was a nice, casual gathering. It was fun to do some catching up.

Saturday was quite the day. We had what we called a "Multi-Generation" Garage Sale in Lewistown. We had truckloads of stuff from Grandmas, mom's and our house as well. It was unbelievable the amount of stuff we had. We had it scheduled for 7:00 that morning, so we had to get up pretty early. There was only one other garage sale that day. We weren't really sure what the turnout was going to be on 4th of July.


We got to town by 6:30 and there were already people stalking around waiting for us. As soon as we opened the garage doors to start pulling stuff out, people started showing up from every direction! When mom pulled up 10 minutes later, we were in full swing and not even set up yet! It was a lot of fun though. It's so funny to see the kinds of things people buy and when they try to haggle you. We weren't really in it to make money, we just wanted to get rid of stuff, so we took any offer. One guy bought some floor cover stuff that you put under laminate flooring and a margarita glass! We had to send Tim to get us some McDonald's breakfast at one point. It stayed pretty steady up until the parade started at 11:00. Grandma Jo came down and sat with us until the end. Tim and I went to the parade and left them in charge. We stayed open until about 2:30 and we got rid of alooooooot of stuff. It was amazing. It was such a whirlwind. And we all made some pretty good money too!

This morning we went to mom and dads to borrow their skid steer and rototiller for our excavation work. We dropped it off in Lewistown and dug up the sprinkler heads around the house. Now we are resting up from our busy weekend and we will be ready to hit it hard tomorrow. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.
