April Fools And Lemonade

On Sunday I thought I would try to pull one over on the kids. It was the perfect, lazy day to try and fool them. For dinner I made them dessert! Or so they thought for about 30 seconds. I actually made meat loaf, mash potatoes and brussel sprouts but I told them it was cupcakes and brussel sprouts---YUM!



This is the half-frosted meat loaf-



And this is the frosting mashed potatoes!!

I asked each kid how many cupcakes they wanted for dinner and then served them up. They got a kick out of it.

And I am totally getting a kick out of Jadyn lately. That girl loves to be a sales person- she is good at it for sure and will do it every chance she gets- her biggest drawback is ME and if I want to help her at the moment. Anyhow, yesterday she talked me into selling Lemonade and the whole time in my head I am screaming NO NO NO WHY WHY WHY---But this girl is persistent. She gets dressed up and puts on a cute little outfit- she get her table in the driveway and dresses it up with a tablecloth. She makes a sign that says Lemonade and then she makes the actual lemonade and goes and sits at her table and waits for her customers. And boy do they ever show up! How could anyone driving by resist all the work and effort she put into it.

She had a line of police cars at one point and was pouring them all lemonade. People would pull over just to buy from her!! So at 25 cents a cup, what to you think she made?? The girl pulled in over $15 in about 2 hours. She is doing better than minimum wage! Jadyn worked her charm and the people paid much more than 25 cents to see her at work. She is very proud of herself.
