make a lemonade stand!
I swear T came out of the womb asking to have a lemonade stand in the front yard. There was always a reason not to. mostly, I did not want to see it fail. maybe no one would come. But when I got word of a neighborhood garage sale, my first thought was lemonade stand! having just moved we had nothing to sell, but I knew a stand of treats could be fun. We got the neighborhood kids in on the action too. Their cute smiles brought in a crowd. They sold, brownies, cookies, 2 kinds of pops, popcorn, & lemonade. When business was slow they loaded up a tin pail of treats & took the stand door to door. by noon they had made $42. Not too shabby! The kids all had way too much fun, ate tons of treats & made silly/scary/sweet faces at every car & person that passed. Such a great saturday! We love our neighbors, they couldnt be any more fun!

Oh that meeting was amazing, wasn't it?! Looks like quite the lemonade stand. Good for you letting him live the dream. What a good momma.
Wow! Looks like you put a lot of work into that stand for your boys. Good mommy! :)
Jenni you are an awesome Mom and person! That is possibly the most beautiful lemonade stand I have ever seen (which is no surprise knowing a little of your talents). Don't forget to send me the stuff about dressing for photos.
wow! I wanna be like you when I grow up!
the most chic lemonade stand I've ever seen!:) You are too cute Jenni. I just love it! And heck ya that RS meeting was awesome. I loved it all, but esp the part about the golden tickets. Why are we all waiting for our "golden ticket to come" (i'm so guilty of this, too)... the prize is right in front of our eyes all the time, through good times and bad.
Oooooo! What's the scoop on dressing for photos? Our fam needs to get a family photo. Haven't gotten all 4 of us in a professional one since Preston was 6 months old!! (He's 5 1/2 now! Eeek!)
You put Mom's like me to shame! That lemonade stand is to die for!
