last weekend when jack and zach came and asked me if they could have a kool-aid stand, i threw all caution to the wind and said, "sure, why not!". it's warm. it's sunny. and it's saturday. not to mention the fact that it would be good for these two to work a little bit on a saturday. the extra cash couldn't hurt either.
so off they went.
they built a table. (thanks dad!)
they made signs. (granted they were so small that people needed to roll to a complete stop before being able to see what it said but still, super cute!!
they even made the drinks.
they did however ask me to bake some cookies, which in a weak moment, i agreed to.
and wouldn't you know it, these boys can sell!
they would flash their pearly whites and get even the Border Patrol(hey, if they are protecting our land, we at least need to keep them hydrated!!) AND the mailman to stop and buy!
although, i did have to quickly put a stop to them THROWING up their arms when someone wouldn't stop. um, yup, that didn't last long.
during their 'downtime' they would lounge out near the mole hills, trying to catch them in action.
side note. when i went to get the mail on monday afternoon, i noticed that they had written, on a piece of scotch tape, a thank you note to the mailman. inside of the box was a note saying 'thaks for baing koilaid'. how darn cute is that?
great little salesmen and polite to boot.
great job boys!!
oh yeah, they made a whopping $2.40!! not bad for a days work!
