Nothing says winter like....

a lemonade stand???

Eliza took advantage of the nice weather we've been having and set up shop. I did my best to talk her out of it. But, as a mother I've learned to endure many embarrassing situations. At first glance this doesn't look embarrassing, it's cute ~ 2 adorable kids selling lemonade. Well, take note of the non-disposable cups, a few different people drank out of the same ones. I explained to Eliza that the cups needed to be washed between customers and her response was "it's ok mom! I've been wiping the cups clean with my shirt" She also insisted on making the lemonade all by herself and it was SOUR! Perhaps her sign should have read " Used cup of sour lemon aid ~ 5 cents.

Eliza sat in front of our house for the better part of 2 hours. She managed to rake in about $3. (three people came but only had bills). As soon as Cooper and Sophia came home from school they promptly moved her stand across the road to a higher traffic area and put up signs (see above photo). But nobody else stopped.
