I woke up Sunday morning and went outside to see what Spitfire was up to.
She had gone to the basement and dug out our card table and folding chairs. Then she mixed a big batch of Koolaid, and organized all the neighbor kids into helping with a Koolaid stand.
They even made posters, and all the kids contributed something for the stand. The girls across the street brought their seashells from Mexico to sell. The twins who live kiddie corner brought some Girl Scout cookies and Hershey kisses.
They sold cups of Koolaid for $1, with free refills. There was a lot of traffic on our street: people jogging, walking home from church, walking their dogs, or out and about in their cars. The kids waved their signs and shouted to the cars. I was surprised how many customers they had. They even offered drive-thru service.
The kids were out there about 4 hours, and made quite a lot of money! At the end of the day, they made $36.00 ($6.00 each)! I'm so proud of Spitfire for her entrepreneurial spirit, her organizational skills, her creativity, and her leadership skills!
