April 27, 2007--Yard sales and co-op

I went to a garage sale today! First one of the year! I'm hoping to get a few things and put them up on Ebay. I know people (at least used to) make pretty good money doing that, and it can't hurt to try and make a little bit. After all, I've got my digital camera now. I spent about $10 today and got quite a few things, some glassware, some brass giraffes, a CSI Miami game, a Cat in the Hat hat, and a dozen fancy belts. Surely I can get at least my money back from them. It's worth a shot, anyway. I got back in time for co-op. We're doing the American Revolution again. I just did the American Revolution last year (or was it the year before?) but now that I'm in a KONOS co-op, I kind of have to follow along with what the group is doing. It's okay, though, because we're doing some different activities than I did last time. Like, we did dip candles today. That was pretty neat. We made punch tin lanterns to put them into. We also re-enacted the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, and the battle of Lexington. Joy was Major Pitcairn. She went up to minutemen standing on the green (in the front yard, that is) and yelled, "Disperse, ye rubbles!" They had fun shooting each other, although some of them didn't have any guns and resorted to using their hobby horses as weapons. As the Bible says, "Some may trust in horses..."
