You know the economy is bad when.....

When you have to sell your kids. Ok, we weren't really selling our kids but it sure looked as though we were. Halen came running in the house asking for supplies to make a sign. Sadie and Halen decided that it would be fun to earn some money from doing a yard sale. They gathered who knows what, out of the basement and stood on the curb with these signs. I thought that this would easily keep them entertained while I had some time to breathe. I expected that they may entice the neighborhood kids, (I am sure that their parents are thrilled with the new junk at their house. Sorry Holly and Lindsey) what I did not expect was that adults in cars would stop by the junk sale, even strangers. I had to start keeping a pretty good eye on them out the window. When all was said and done after 3 hours they had made $8.00. They sat down with no help and split the money evenly, and they said that they are saving it for Alaska and Hawaii. (I don't know when or if they are going there).
