School Rummage Sale

This weekend was the school Rummage sale. We spent Thursday and Friday going through all our stuff looking for things to donate. At first I felt bad because we wouldn't have much to donate especially after the kids "toy" sale in January. But when I went through their clothes and our junk closet I came up with over 100 items. It feels so good to get rid of stuff. I volunteered Friday evening when they were accepting donations. I spent the time unpacking boxes full of stuff and setting them out on tables. There was so much stuff! I set aside some books and a couple of toys for the kids. Then I went back this afternoon and was impressed by how much was sold in the morning. I mostly folded clothes and packed the things that didn't sale back into boxes to be dontated to St. Vincents. It was actually pretty fun volunteering and I met a couple other moms that have kindergarteners and are involved in the school.

I also found out that I am in charge of the carnival part of the school Bingo Carnival night in April. I was actually working on the flyer and sent it to the PTA president with a note about helping with the carnival. She responded that the person in charge could no longer do it and asked if I could be in charge. I said yes then wondered what I got myself into. I was fortunate to meet the woman that coordinated it for the past couple years and it sounds like she was pretty organized and will pass the folder on to me. I guess that gives me a project for March.
