A couple of weeks ago, the kids really wanted to have a lemonade stand and I thought it was a great idea. I remember having lemonade stands as a kid and how much fun it was. I told them we could do it, but that we should donate the money that we made to charity. They actually agreed with out a fight. William really wanted to use the money to help with his fund to save up for a new WII game, but he thought it was a good idea to give the money to charity too. We decided that if we were going to do a lemonade stand, we were going to do it up right and sell cookies, brownies and rice crispy treats too to help make more money. We invited Eli and Eden to join in the fun and Ashley came to help too. It was so much fun sitting out with the kids. Maddie and Eden were screaming their lungs out to every car that drove by. I texted everyone that I could think of to help with the cause. We had lot of people (friends and strangers) stop by and enjoy some delicious goodies. Quite a few left very generous tips! The kids hard work paid off and we made $61. Not bad for an afternoon.

What a darling idea. I love the sign. What charity did you give the money to?
Only Lisa's children would have awesome treats with their lemonade stand. It looks just wonderful and we are missing William so much. We could have an awesome stand here at the lake.
I would buy if I was there. I love that you gave all the money to a charity! Your mother is training you right.
Love and hugs,
