Cole and Sadie have been into earning money this summer and have just BEGGED me to have a lemonade stand! A simple task that I couldn't allow to be too simple. My brain went a little crazy. After all of our recent busy changes, I was MAJORLY craft deprived! And the two colors that popped into my mind were tangerine and yellow. My inspiration had begun.
We took our sweet time preparing our lemonade stand. Coloring posters, sewing a banner, and paint/build the stand.
And FINALLY just two days before our big departure to D.C...
we made cookies...
invited some friends...
and had our LeMoNaDe StAnD!!!
My favorite customer of all...
cute and adorable Mia, who couldn't get enough of those cookies!
I can't decide who enjoyed the stand more...me or the kids...I think I'm going to have to say me!
We had a great turn out and the kids made $10.00!! Thanks everyone who stopped by! We even had a local city worker stop her GIANT construction TRUCK to have some cookies and lemonade! I love it! We'll definitely have to do this again!
* to build the stand, I found wooden crates at the craft store and found the rest of the wood in my garage. Can you believe with my man out of town that I build this? Not that hard. I just nailed the top board onto the creates. Easy. I had lots of Acrylic paint on hand already and painted stripes on the wooden dowels using tape. I'll have to do a tutorial on painting stripes. The table cloth is just fabric, which I don't know the name of right now.
