Disneyland here we come... kinda.

My mom's subdivision held its annual neighborhood garage sale yesterday.

When the girls saw the flyer... they had a light bulb moment: 

a-ha, a chance to raise money for the Disneyland Fund.

So add it up... we spent an entire afternoon and evening going through their

toys, books and belonging.

We made 6 dozen cookies and lemonade

and we spent another evening setting it up at my mom's house.

Was it worth it?

You be the judge.

The girls made a staggering $55.32

That includes the 18 smackeroos my mom gave them for stuff she sold.

So for all the time-- not a huge haul.

But what do you expect when the kids were selling Barbies, Polly Pockets, books and stuffed animals

for anywhere from 10 cents to a buck.

The cookies and cold drink were the real gold-mine.

I mean, who could say no to Reesey asking if you'd like to buy a "coooookey"?

Here's my take:  for that amount of money, not worth it to me.

But what was priceless was what they learned:  organizing, pricing, selling, customer service and

commitment.  It was a long day.  We all have sunburns to prove it.

But, my did we have fun.
