Lemonade Stand


We were driving home yesterday Conner, Audrey, Ben and Austin and Emily Haynes(some of our sweetest friends) and on the drive home they all decided they wanted to have a lemonade stand. So they asked if I could make some lemonade so that they could "have a lemonade stand and get some customers" so I agreed and asked them if they also wanted me to make some brownies for their stand of course they thought that was a great idea. I told them they needed to get a table and some paper to make some signs for their products I asked at this point how much they were gana sell their lemonade for Conner seemed to think we should charge a dollar a glass after much convincing that is was just normal lemonade and not the gourmet kind we decided on 25 cents per glass. I asked them what they were gana do with the money and they said "let's give it to the church so they could help more people" a very sweet moment to have with your children and those you love so much so we talked about what a great idea that was and how proud I was of them so they got things set up and all five of them stayed out there for almost 2 hours and raised $9.00 they were proud and even talked about doing it again.

I'm so glad the peer pressure got to you. My family will love keeping up with the Fitzgerald five. I loved the lemonade story. They are sweet sweet children that love God and have great examples as parents. Keep the pictures coming! I can't believe how much they have grown. Much love!
