Lemonade Stand

Yesterday afternoon my daughters came to me and asked for help setting up a lemonade stand.   I cringed.  I was in the middle of something and the last thing I wanted to do was drag our little table outside, find paper to make signs, make lemonade, track down some cups and then supervise the kiddos outside while they try to sell a warm cup of punch stuff for 25 cents to the very few people who drive down our street. 

But...one look at my daughter's hopeful face and I couldn't say no.  

Here's my daughter and a friend from next door at work.

I decided I have changed my attitude about lemonade stands.  I didn't hear complaints about being bored for five hours.  Oh yeah...those little girls sat faithfully by their business venture for five hours.  The only cost to me, two cups of warm sugary stuff for 25 cents each.

50 cents for five hours of fun outside.  I love lemonade stands.
