Impromptu Garage Sale and Lemonade Stand



Sometime during the drive home on Tuesday the kids decided they wanted to have a garage sale. So when they got home, they started gathering up the toys and games they wanted to sell. I said we'd do it one weekend.

It is 70 degrees here today and we had no plans so we decided to do it today. After a stop for some lemonade and price stickers, the kids labeled everything and then took it all outside. I made the lemonade and Elizabeth and Miranda set up shop.

We got one neighbor who came by early on who bought a cup of lemonade and a fake spider, but then only two other lemonade purchases by guys putting out the new phone books ("the new phone books are here! the new phone books are here!").

I told the kids we could do it again another time, with more planning. They didn't seen nearly as bummed as I thought they would be.
