On Saturday I hit a big subdivision garage sale with some friends from my ward. The spoils were pretty good although not as good as last year. I guess with the economy the way it is people are keeping their old stuff instead of selling it for pennies and buying new stuff for the big bucks! I prefer to spend pennies. I got this Little Tike's Car toddler bed for Errson. I paid $45 for it and it came with a really nice Sealy Mattress. Nicer than anything we have ever had. In his crib right now we have a Wal-mart mattress I bought for $20 the cheapest one you can find. Anyway I really just got this bed because Errson LOVES cars and what 2 year old wouldn't want to sleep in one! I am keeping the crib in there for now until he tries to get out of it. 
On Saturday after I got it all set up he layed down on his new bed and took a nap. Two and a half hours later he got up...opened his door and said "I done now mommy".
I also got this cool Radio Flyer trike. I paid $10 for it and it has been a real hit with all three kids. They have been taking each other for rides all over the house with one kid sitting on the back and the other peddling. It was intended for Errson but Faryn and Hendrix are using it more than he is. Errson is still trying to get the peddling motion down.
I actually got this radio flyer horse a few weeks ago for $3...so fun!
I got this little Tike's slide for $3!!!What a steal I know. it is a little bleached out from the sun but the kids don't care. This has been the best $3 I have ever spent. All three kids have been playing on it a ton!
Anyone who knows me well knows I love "vintage" stuff. Well I found this 1960s table and I got it for $12. It is the perfect game table!!!! Settler's Anyone?
I also got this cool retro lamp for $8! I just think it is so funky and who wouldn't love a green lamp?
The game room had to be rearranged due to the additional items purchased but I love how it turned out...a real fun place for kids to play and read!
I got a few more things but those items are for another post another day :)

Too fun! I love all of your stuff. You are the garage sale queen! We so want to come play Settlers sometime. I don't think we have really played it since Ike.
So exciting! I love how everything looks in your house! I'm so happy Errson loves his bed so much! I had a great time with you girls, and thanks for helping me get such great deals :-)
