First forays

Clay has wanted to do a lemonade stand for "forever", but we don't exactly live in a high traffic area most days. On Saturday, our subdivision did its annual community yard sale, so he got his big chance. He and Bruce had taken Clay's allowance and bought all the supplies... cups, lemonade concentrate, cokes, sprites, ginger ales and bottled waters. You live and learn -- pretty much only lemonade and water sold well. Clay ended up making a few bucks, despite not selling all his drinks. Now Spencer and Allison are dreaming of their future lemonade stands.

Clay sold lemonade back at the house while I manned the yard sale, and Bruce took Spencer and Allison to their first soccer practice this year. This is Allison's first time playing, so we asked that she be placed on Spencer's team, making it a bit easier on us, running each kid to their respective practices/games. Soccer is a hit with our little princess. And it's a good thing, too, because dance classes for her were wearing us out last year. Too often, too expensive, too fru-fru!
