Last Thursday as we were leaving swimming lessons, the kids next door to the swimming teacher were selling Otter Pops on their front lawn. (Those kids happen to be my cousins, Owen and Erin.) We stopped and ordered through the window of the car, handed over our money and headed home. As we were driving Brooklyn and Damon began brain-storming and decided they'd make some money selling Otter Pops at our house. We stopped at the store and bought a box and when we got home the kids made a sign, grabbed a money jar and set up shop on the corner.

I was impressed at how many people stopped their cars to buy a treat from the kids. I think they had more adult customers than kids. I've made a mental note to stop when I see kids selling lemonade or other goodies because I NEVER stop and so many people stopped for my kids.

Anyway, business boomed Thursday and Friday afternoon and again today until the last Otter Pop sold. Brooky and Damon are pretty proud of themselves. I'm proud of them too. Mostly because they didn't fight during this endeavor.

Today, as she set up her stand, Brooky decided to take Maya out and let her "help". That didn't last very long, but I did get a picture from behind. I thought the girls looked so cute just sitting there waiting.

Too cute! Jax and Bryn sold lemonade on the coldest day of summer a few weeks ago and only adults stopped but they payed a lot of money for just a cup.

GiveAway!!

Image
I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
