My Step-Kiddos:-)

Haley and Brenden are just too cute. Haley REALLY wanted to have a lemonade stand Sat. So...I took her to the store to by the mix...we came back and got everything set up. Of course then Brenden wanted to do it too...after all of the work was done. I told him that he could sell something too but not lemonade. He was a little upset at first but then realized that he had a lot of the little toy cars in his room that he never plays with anymore.... he set them up on the same table as the lemonade. About an hour went by and not one person had stopped. Haley was determined...she wasn't going anywhere until she sold some lemonade. Brenden on the other hand has way too much energy to sit there for that long...so I took Thomas and Brenden to game-stop to trade in some old games for a few new ones. By the time we got back Haley had sold almost $4 worth of lemonade and $3 worth of Brenden's cars. Brenden was sooooo excited that he had made some money. His Dad and I told him that he would need to give some of his earnings to his sister since she is the one that sold everything....after a little fit he agreed that it was the right thing to do. They ended up sitting outside almost 5 more hours trying to sell the rest of their stuff.....and let's just say Brenden didn't leave Haley to sell his cars anymore:-) It's so much fun watching kids learn different lessons in life. I have grown very close to Haley and Brenden and really enjoy watching them grow up!!!
