Lemonade Stand

I can't believe I almost forgot to post this! A couple of weeks ago, grandmother's neighborhood had a neighborhood garage sale. Our neighborhood had one too before Helen's, and we sold a ton of stuff. Everything that was left over, we took to Helen's.  Nathan and Charlotte were so excited for this one because Grandmother set up a lemonade stand for them. I went over early in the morning to help Helen and let Wayne and the kids sleep in (although Wayne said Nathan was so excited that he woke up early!). Since I was going to leave early, I set out Nathan and Charlotte's clothes so it would be easy for Wayne to get them ready. They showed up around 9:00 and neither one of them were in the clothes I laid out! At least Nathan's clothes matched, but Charlotte...not even close.  The leggings she had on were part of the outfit I laid out, but her shirt was random.  I asked Wayne why he dressed her like that, and he said that when Nathan woke up early, he was so excited that he picked out his clothes and Charlotte's and got them both dressed. Wayne said he even brushed his and Charlotte's teeth! What is funny to me is that Wayne let her leave like that, I don't think I'd even let her play outside that mismatched! Oh well. 

The two of them had so much fun and used such nice manners. The lemonade was free, but Grandmother made them a tip jar.  So every time someone came to shop, they both chimed, "Would you like some lemonade?  It's free!" And then then one would scoop ice and one would open the lemonade spout, and then they'd switch the next time. And they would both say things like "Thank you for coming!" Or "Have a nice day!" So cute! I think they also drank most of it. In the end, they made $15 and thought they hit the jackpot!
