Alyssa had been begging to have any sort of "stand" for months. When it was winter she would say "Lets have a hot chocolate stand". I have turned her down so many times for different reasons. "I don't want to stand out side in the cold..." Today she REALLY wanted to have a lemonade stand. It was overcast and I thought it wasn't the best day since it wasn't SO hot. But I gave in (she really wouldn't stop asking). I thought it would be a good idea to sell cookies too. So we went to the store bought a pitcher, crystal light raspberry lemonade, made cookies and got it all ready. We put it up in front of our house. We live at the back of our neighborhood, so we don't get a lot of traffic. I wasn't sure we would get many buyers and thought we might have to move to a higher traffic area. But we actually sold quite a few to our neighbors. Alyssa was so excited and kept saying "I can't believe how many I am selling!" She earned $13! She of course wanted to go buy something right away but I convinced her to save it for later till she found something she really wanted.
Kate just wanted to eat the cookies and drink the lemonade.
