Saturday

Well our family awoke this morning and it wasn't a typical Saturday. What was so atypical......well, the sun was shining!! the entire family was thrilled today to see the sun. We decided that today was the day to buid our lemonade stand. So, everyone grabbed paper and drew a sketch of what we wanted the stand to look like and off we went to Lowes. It was great fun walking through Lowes and trying to piece together how this stand was going to work. We needed to make the stand where it was durable but econimical, and be able to break apart to fit in my car if we want to take the stand on the road but light enough for me to put back together without the assistance of daddy (for those working days). It was great to brainstorm with Danny and work together with our ideas to make it. We used to make projects all the time before we had kids. We did everything from building on a sunroom to the back of our old house to laying tile in our house. Our time is occupied a little differently now. We hope that our kiddos will grow up remembering theses special times where we can work together as a family to build fun things. The kids helped as much as possible inbetween playing outside and enjoying the sunshine.We still have yet to paint it but we will do that tomorrow and I will post pics after we paint. We have plans to try our stand out for the first time this Friday. We plan to sell single stem roses for $2 for Valentines day. The kids are super excited as am I. It should be fun. I just pray for customers for them! I think they will do good. If not, then it was fun building and planning and maybe the summer with ice pops and lemonade will be a better sell.
