It finally happened...the first yard sales of the season. I think Jon looks forward to that day as much as he does the first day of hunting season or Christmas! He. Loves. To. Yardsale. Period. And even though he didn't get home until almost 3AM, we were still up at 8 to start the day!
...and what a day it was. We hit about 8 different sales and were amazed by all the JUNK people were trying to sell! The highlights were:
- a half-(eaten?) jar of baby food: 50¢
- VHS tapes: 3$
- Erotic fiction novels: 1$/each
- a bag of condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, etc.): 2.50$
- a bucket of clumped-up rock salt: 50¢
- styrofoam meat trays (like from Kroger): 2.50$/5-pk.
...just to name a few.
We did get some neat things though. Jon bought the Adam Sandler CD (1996-ish) and was super pumped about it! I got a few big vases. Jon got a new gun rack and I got a nice oval stand mirror. And no....we didn't buy any meat trays....

| Aaron and Andrea at prom |
Last night was Amanda-Clearcreek's prom. Both boys went and looked so nice! And their dates were so pretty! They both had beautiful dresses and their hair looked adorable! However, neither of them were carrying a quarter in case they needed to make an emergency phone call...I was a little disappointed...just sayin'...
It was neat to see all the kids arrive. Our proms weren't near the *production* that prom is today. There were limos, Hummer limos, a Mercedes limo, and the General Lee. But by far, the entrance of the evening had to go to these people:

| Yup...it's a combine! |
These girls sure were troopers...I can't imagine climbing into a combine--in a dress--on prom night--in heels. Wait...I don't even wear heels, so nevermind...
It was so cute though. They had a catwalk and introduced each person/couple as they entered. Some of the dresses were gorgeous! Some of the dresses made Jon and I vow to never let our daughter dress like a skank. And other dresses made us vow to never let our son DATE a skank! (Ok...I "vowed"...Jon just got excited that our son would be going with someone who could wear one of those skanky dresses).
So all-in-all, not a bad Saturday. Today's newspaper is supposed to have over 370$ worth of coupons, so I'm trying to rouse Jon out of bed to go buy the paper! I'm hoping to stock up on styrofoam meat trays to sell at our yard sale this summer...
