The kids participated in a rite of passage this past weekend.....a lemonade stand during our garage sale! The girls had a really good time making the sign. They wanted to raise money for a pack of gum...such simple requests! The lemonade stand was open Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. They made $14.50! I think they liked sampling the lemonade better than making money, but it was a good lesson for them to learn that they get to earn money, and then spend money, if they do some work. Laurel was the best salesperson....asking people as soon as they stepped into the driveway if they wanted to buy some lemonade. And who can resist such a sweet face?
Waiting for some customers.....and trying out the drinks.
In between customers, the kids watched a movie on the iPad.
And there were outfit changes during the day.
Saturday morning, as is our custom, we had donuts to open the garage sale.
On Saturday morning, there weren't too many people at the sale, so the kids pretended they were customers.
This is what the girls bought with the money they earned!
And, they also got to play in the pool after the garage sale.
This is what Erika deems "sunbathing". Not quite, little girl.
Unfortunately, we ended the weekend with a sick Laurel. This is her favorite activity when she is sick....cuddling with her favorite person!
