Yard Sale Junkie

If you know me well enough, you know that I love to spend Saturday mornings yardsaling w/ my boys. We'll get up, get in the truck and go. No where special in mind. Sometimes checking the paper for block sales, sometimes not. It's just guy time. My oldest loves going w/ dad. The youngest, will go often but not as often. I love this time for two reasons. One, I love a good deal and two, I get to spend time w/ my boys. Today, after yard saling (is that a word?) Our oldest and I ran some errands and he spent the afternoon cleaning out the garage and listening to CSUF kick UCLA's behinds on KMJ. It was a great afternoon. Our oldest is into erector sets and the youngest into connects. I had him put together a new toy of mine. He was in his element. They can do some amazing things with legos, connects, erector sets or anything of the like. We spent the afternoon cleaning the garage because, both boys love playing w/dads stuff and not putting it back in it's place. They have built benches, gocarts, popguns, marshmellow shooters, lanterns, and several other things that I cannot give a name to at the moment. In the garage any scrap wood, metal, plastic or otherwise is fair game. Nothing is sacred. I envisioned the third car garage as my "guy" space when we moved into this house. How wrong I was to assume that I would be the only one using it. Honestly, the boys probably spend more time out there than I. It's all good. I love it when they show me their creations. It amazes me what they are capable of doing/building/creating. I love my boys.
