What do we do ...

What do we do on a nice Saturday in November?



We make a delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies....






we make a pitcher of Kool-aid....

and we sell them on the side of the road in front of our house.

This is what Alysa would choose to do over anything else. She loves sitting outside at the card table, with the umbrella above her, a cup for money, poured punch for her and a friend, and chocolate on their fingers (even before the 1st customer has come) in order to make a few dollars. It is some cheap entertainment and keeps them outside ALL day!

Alysa and Jordan made about $8.00 today by selling a cookie and a glass of punch for 25 cents each (although this was the set price, Jordan's mom said that they were actually selling them for 50 cents for one cookie and 50 cents for one glass of punch - I guess their prices increased in order to cover the costs - especially the expensive cook - ha ha :)

So, if it is ever a nice saturday, you can find us outside selling cookies and kool-aid. Hopefully by next time that cook will reduce her price so the price of the cookies can go down! The kids had a great day and so did I.

I will give you the recipe... but you have to promise you will still come and buy if you see us out...
