What can we sell next??

Kenzie, Sydney and Avery  very proud of their sign

Presley...really just interested in eating all the big girls's shoes

neighbors Sydney and Lucy helped with the lemonade stand..  Sydney really brought in the majority of customers ( her big brothers showed up a couple times)

This summer the girls are very interested in making money.  Avery is just starting to grasp the whole idea of money and needing money to buy things and where money comes from.  So, several days Avery would ask...can we have a lemonade stand?  can we sell juice?  can we sell cookies?  One warm day, we set up a table in the front yard and mixed up some lemonade and sat out in the yard with the neighbor girls.  The day was quite successful for the girls...I think the four of them each ended up with six dollars....not too bad for 2 hours worth of work.   They even chased down the neighbor as he pulled in his driveway...handed him a glass and said it cost 5 dollars and surprise, he gave them 5 dollars....Thank you nice neighbor =)

That next weekend we had a garage sale at Deans' moms house with Deans brother and his family.  The girls were oh so very excited about this....they got to hang out with cousins all day/ eat cookies/ sell stuff/ make money to save up for Disneyland and buy new things from cousins.  Garage sale was very successful.  The kids made like 20ish dollars each and Avery and Kenzie spent most of theirs buying new PJs and toys from their cousins....oh well, all part of the fun, right?  =)

Dean and I were able to clear quite a bit of stuff out of the basement and make a few bucks, it was a good day.
