The Last Day of Fall Break

We had such a nice relaxing Fall Break. We really didn't do a whole lot, but MAN it was a nice break! Yesterday the kids had to make a Juice Stand. Well, it started out as a FREE STICKER stand, but slowly evolved (Charity realized she wasn't going to make any money off FREE stickers). I'm not sure how the wobbly, soggy, old cardboard box held up the pitcher of juice, but it did. They had a few exciting moments where someone would drive by real slowly (possibly trying to read charity's sign: 20 cents Juice in blue pen on yellow lined paper), but no takers. I finally had pitty and gave Brad and Luke some change to buy some juice from them :) Charity was totally the manager, and was really good at overseeing the whole operation- I think she ended up with all the money in the end. Kelly was the one to beautify the stand- getting an old towel to lay over the top to make it look "prettier", and then she took over for Brad as the sign holder when he had his juice. Bradley was a very diligent sign holder, almost running out into the road a few times so that people would see it. And Luke was....well........good at drinking the juice :) He almost knocked the box over a few times, but by some miracle it never tipped over. I think if we didn't live on the edge of nowhere a juice stand might be more profitable, but just as a word of advice---next time you see a bunch of little kids huddled around a box and holding up a piece of paper- get out your change and make their day :)
