The Junior Apprentices

Our sweet daddy decided that during this year's block party it would be a fun project for the peeps to have a booth. I was somewhat reluctant, because I didn't want to mind the booth while they were off playing in the jumpers. The three of them sat down and decided that they would sell candy - jumbo pixie sticks and air heads. I talked to the organizers and found out that we could be 'mobile' rather than be in one area. So we took the lemonade stand and rolled out for some profit. First, I have to tell you that dad purchased the candy at Sam's and 'loaned' it to the kids. They had to pay it back with interest and they could earn money through a profit and commission of how many sales they had. The tragedy of this think tank was that I did not have my camera the evening of the event. However, the kids had a lot of fun once they were going and our daughter earned $10 and our son earned $12. They paid back dad a dollar for interest, plus bought all of the candy outright (next year is pure profit!). There was a tense moment when B accused S of 'stealing his sale'. I do have pics of how they spent their earnings (after tithe and savings of course!). The Almond Staff had a webkinz sale! Yeah we love half price. It was a great learning experience for the kids, our daughter asked my husband, "are you doing this just to teach us about running a business?" You're hired!
