HARD TO SAY GOODBYE!

Yard Sale Time
We are having a massive yard sale tomorrow. Massive I say, because I'm getting rid of at least 75% of the children's items we own! Never really had any reason to before with the daycare. They loved all the toys, stuffed animals, etc. and I loved that I didn't have to get rid of any of the memories from my own kids using these things! Jeff is taking the third truckload (yes, truck load) over to the location at a friends house as we speak and I know he's got one or two more waiting here for him. Among the items I am forced to say goodbye to: The Little Tykes climbers, swings, shopping cart, little car, bikes, strollers, many many car seats, playpen, toy kitchen, jumper, our entire collection of mega blocks and our entire collection of little people, puppets, puzzles, puzzles, puzzles and books, books, books, UUUUGH! I could go on and on really! But I won't! Maybe I'll take some pictures of all of it before it goes. Until then Max is having his first sleepover (here) with his best buddy tonight and they are planning the lemonade stand for the sale in the morning. I made up this alpha for fun yesterday and used it to make their sign.

Everything's PURPLE!!!!
I didn't plan on planting an entirely purple yard this year, really! But it sure looks like it right now with what's blooming. Mainly I think it's this purple flower right here

It's not the one at bottom left (Purple Salvia), but the other purple. I think I planted some a few years ago and now it has seriously taken over the yard! If anyone knows what it is can you leave me a comment, I'd love to find out just how invasive it is in our area, and if I can remove it, spread it out, or what!

Here's the other pretty purple spots in the yard!

Have a great weekend everyone! I'll let you know how this big sale goes tomorrow!Jeff is just thrilled to have his garage empty and ready for a boat this summer!
