Last weekend the Bates family put on a huge family yard sale. When I heard "yard sale", I immediately thought to do a lemonade stand. Creating this lemonade stand brought back so many childhood memories. As a kid, I was always on the corner selling something. I remember even selling all of my American Girl Dolls and their outfits (some homemade) to a lucky customer for less than $10. You can ask my mother how she felt about that! Whether it was candy, toys, flowers, or snow cones, I always had something to sell.

These boys (my nephews) were awesome employees! I taught them some great lessons on how to run a business. For example, don't shout, "what do you want!?" to the customers. Do not tell the customers how much money we are making. Pick up the donuts with a napkin and not your hand. They also learned that you can't take 50% off a 25 cent cup of lemonade.

Emmie (my niece) kept lounging around, eating the donuts. If she wasn't so adorable she might have been fired.

Every drink tastes better coming from a colorful straw!
We had a great time and ended up with a grand total of $15! How can you say no to lemonade being sold by these cuties?
So cute!
