Yard Sale Time

We have been living in our current house for 6 years and there are STILL boxes we have not unpacked! My sister-in-law Lupe is having a yard sale to benefit her son's drum corp so today we went through some boxes and closets to donate items. Before we moved into our house we lived in a 2 bedroom apartment for 3 years then bought a 5 bedroom house so I guess we only unpacked the stuff we needed. Those organizational type people say that you should throw out clothes you haven't worn in a year because you won't miss it. I agree up to a point.

So when we were going though one big box, at the top I saw clothes and swim suits I will never wear again and almost said just give that whole thing away. But no, Hector dug down past all the useless clothing and found a Super NES system (which I loved playing) and a PS1. He also found a video that I made with my best friend Kathy. We took my wedding photos, videotaped them and set music to it. There was also footage of when she and I went to Las Vegas, acting goofy at the Warner Bros. store (no longer exists) and the Hard Rock casino. Ahh, good times! So back to the story, I set aside all the other stuff in the box for the yard sale, found the super NES cartridge I knew of in our house and we plugged it in. It took a couple of tries to get the thing working but it is one of my husband's favorite games...The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. He's still playing it now 7 hours after I found it this afternoon. More good times (for Hector)...I just watched. Now we can afford to have our own Gamecubes so we don't have to wait for the other to finish!

Another project we did is help my oldest son with a school project. Tyler is only in kindergarten but this week he is the Star of the Week in his class. There are 10 cards that he needs to complete like, My Favorite Food is ______ and then he can draw a picture or use photos, whatever he wants. It took some time because I procrastinated for a week and left it to the last minute. Just when you think you're done with homework, your children bring it home for you to help them! Arrgh.
