LEMONADE FOR SALE, NO ROBBERS PLEASE!!

Corban has been helping one of our neighbor boys, who is 12, to sell lemonade, he will stand there with a sign call out to the motorist to come get some lemonade. Well, one day he patnered up with one of his girlfriends to sell lemonade. They took turns to pour it and take the money.
The next day his friends weren't around so he decided to do it alone. Here is the poster he wanted me to make him.
LEMONADE 10C, NO ROBBERS, how funny. He always comes up with some extremely funny stuff. Well I set there with him for most of the time. I went inside to talk to a friend for 10 minutes and came out to findout that he had sold almost all of the lemonade. And there was a lot of dollars in his container. Apparently people will buy a glass of lemonade and tell him to keep the change. Then again if they did ask for change, he wouldn't have known how much to give back. Instead of 10 cents the lemonade costed $1.00.$6/hr

SUMMER FUN!!

Since our summer is coming to an end faster then we would like it to, here are some fun we had in between summer projects and swimming lessons and T-ball and work, and life.

I thought it will be fun to teach our boys on how to spit the watermelon seed out, the furthest. Well apparently my instructions were not very clear. Corban did very well, but Peyton, well he wasn't sure what he was suppose to spit out. So out came the little bites of watermelon. I tried to have him eat some the next day hoping that he had forgotten the spitting bit. Well, I was wrong, I tried to put him in the high chair to eat, he didnt want to, he grabbed a piece, walked out to the front stairs and did exactly the same old thing. I had to wait for about a week before he started to eat the melon the right way.

Well my two boys are a total opposite when it comes to playing in the water, or being a dare devil. Corban has always been our safe boy, watch from the side lines, never do anything that looks even remotely dangerous. When it comes to being in the water, its almost as if water bites, he will never just go out and get wet, and jump around in the water. You have to coax him to do any of that. Peyton on the other hand, he is a water bug. If there is water Peyton will be in it. Puddle on the side of the road-no matter how dirty, Sarge's water bowl, garden hose tha tis on etc. As you can see in the pictures above, Peyton is right in there in the slip N slide, while Corban is jumping over it. Will some one tell our boy that water does not bite.

Swimming was a lot of fun for Corban, for mommy, it was chasing Peyton around, keeping him out of the water was a challenge. If a kid is able to put their head in the water and float, they are usually advance to the second level. Corban was able to do all that very quickly, but he didn't want to got to level 2. Why? As mentioned previously, level two water was higher than his hip, since water is so dangerous-according to Corban he was going to stay in level 1 for the full two weeks of swimming class. huh

So here is some advice.

1. Take your kids to the pool or just have them take lots of bath from a very young age.

2. Don't try to teach a 18 month old kid how to spit watermelon seeds out.

3. Dress your water bug in swimming clothes at all times during the summer-they will find water and get wet, it will help minimize the laundry piles.

4. Don't take your water bug to your hydrophobic kid's swimming lessons
