Last night Brandon treated the boys to a little neighborhood circus that Braylon had earned 3 free tickets for. It was across the street from Braylon's school, which is located in the 'flats' aka, the neighborhood known for poverty, crime and drugs. During the daytime, the thug-type people stay in hiding. I had reserves about letting them go after dark, but I figured the crowds at the circus may deter any of the usual dealings in the area. Anyway....the boys (all 3) had a blast and Brandon was pleasantly surprised that it was one of the best circuses he has attended, full with elephants and tigers.
While they were having fun and games across town, I was preparing all the last minute details for the garage sale that we did this a.m. Dave says sell! Our Financial Peace University class decided to do a garage sale, so about 6 families got together at the instructor's house to sell our 'treasures.' All 6 made around $100 or more, so the day was pretty well worth it. I tell you, though, that was the hardest $100 I've earned in a looooooonnnnnnnnnggg time. I'm exhausted now.
The day is winding and we are having family rest time tonight. Pizza, a good movie (Kung Fu Panda) and a sleeping bag on the floor works wonders...
