The kids went a little crazy with the card board boxes this weekend and one thing that came out of the chaos was an ice cream stand. They’re pretty excited about it. “We’re going to be rich!” they said. Sunday afternoon they had the box all decorated, the menu, the money box, and the plan. Missing just one thing… the ice cream! Silly kids. I told them I would buy some at the grocery store this morning.

The ice cream stand is ready!

After school they were a rockin’ team and got their stand all set up. By 3:10 they were out front awaiting the crowds. :) The crowds were slow to arrive, but eventually trickled in and they ended up with a handful of customers.

Teamwork! Moving it outside.

Lex had to update the sign a bit to reflect the product we actually had to sell.

Ready for action! They were their own first customers. :)

So sweet.

Eve tried out the new watering can while waiting for customers.

First customers!

More customers!

They are planning to be outside every afternoon this week. Lex even asked if I would buy more ice cream when they run out. He’s ambitious! (I think this is also, at least in part, a ploy to stock ice cream on a regular basis!)
