what do you do with lemons?

In the middle of our fun home repair days, the girls decided they wanted to set up a lemonade stand. It actually turned out to be an amazingly fun distraction stretched over 2 days. Day 1: we made the signs,

...got the table and chairs ready, and then opened the door to see huge rain clouds on their way. So the girls just sat on the front step and caught rain drops on their tongues.

Ryn tried to teach Elle the exact method for correct raindrop catching.

Day 2: offered the perfect weather (HOT), so we tried again. It was so hot, though, that they started drinking all the lemonade themselves.

Cute Grandpa Tom showed up with an umbrella to shade the little saleswomen and be their first paying customer.

They actually ended up doing pretty well, thanks to all of our nice neighbors, and stayed out long enough for Eden to help a bit after her nap.

Don't know if any of them will end up in sales, but it made for one adorable sight out of my front window.
