The Awesomeness of a Yard Sale

My sis-in-law across the street from me let her friend do a yard sale in her yard today, so I thought we'd take a gander on over and see what they had. And check out my awesome find! ((huh... i just said 'gander'....))

*Drum Roll* dundundundun..ba DUN! LeapFrog LeapPad!

And not just the LeapPad, this bad boy comes conveniently fully loaded with everything on Courtney's level, or just above so she has room to grow.



Yes, there are six books, and five game cartridges (one of the books doesn't require a cartridge). And the best part? It works, and they're fabulous! Courtney loves them, and between everything included, we've got every subject covered. (And it cuts down on the whining while on the road, always a plus!)

And also a great find: New laminated flash cards to add to our preschool lot! (well, new for us, haha). Courtney was so excited that she could 'read' all the cards. But they're great for being able to see the word and connect it to the picture and letter sounds and such.

The best part is that I got this amazing lot for super super cheap. Like pennies almost. Am I a nerd for getting so excited for such a great find for such a great deal? Possibly. Am I a nerd for actually doing a blog post about it? Absolutely. Do I care? No!

Heaven's no you're not a nerd! Full price is the "F" word in our house now (after watching extreme couponing) I love to show off my deals and finds and winnings too!

I haven't been to a yard sale in forever! I didn't know people sold such good stuff for that cheap! Everything I see when i do a "drive by" is just clothes, clothes, clothes. You are one lucky girl!!

Rylee would love that! Courtney will have so much fun with it, and I love toys where they learn. Great find.
