Snapshots of June that didn’t involve vacation. We went to Ashland to sell cookies and lemonade with our friends. We have done this the past three years. I usually sell little else at the garage sale, but the girls enjoy baking cookies, selling them, and earning some money. This year, my friend’s kids were earning money for a trampoline; mine were just making money to make money. Anyway, on the first day of sales (when we weren’t there), she said a gentleman left $100 in the donations for the trampoline jar! Can you believe it? Needless to say, they made their goal and now have a trampoline. My kids walked away with about $20 a piece! Here are the sellers:
We learned the pay phone at Lehman’s actually works as a phone for a local call. The girls were stunned they could talk to someone through this device with maybe the same awe we held when cell phones came out.
My niece Lilli came over for a sleepover one night. She is so kind. She is five years older than Madison, but she plays with them and is willing to hang out anyway. Plus, she likes the horses in our backyard! Ellie found an abandoned bird’s nest on the ground and showed off the eggs. Minutes after the picture, she forgot she had them in her hand while looking at the horses, and cracked one… How do you forget you have eggs in your hand?
Other fun stuff – perfectly made strawberry shortcake, mini fairy cupcakes, reading in a blanket fort, and snuggling with daddy:
