Kate always comes right down in the morning when she wakes up but a few days ago I saw her light was on for quite a while so I went up to check on her. She was sitting on the floor surrounded by her little "treasures". She said she was sorting into a "keep" pile and "giveaway" pile. She says pointing to the giveaway pile "I'm going to give all these away ......(pause).....for $5". After giving excuses all summer for not wanting to do a lemonade stand I gave in on this warm day for her to set up a table in the driveway with her treasures. Thanks to a few friends who graciously bought her stuff she made $5. Jack didn't care so much about selling but didn't want to miss out on the action and brought his favorite toys out. Kate is always thinking of ways to make money. Here's an example of a conversation we had while putting her to bed a few weeks ago.
Kate: We need someone who makes cars to build one like the ice cream truck but has a shelf for Hot Chocolate.
Mom: What would you do with that?
Kate: I'd drive around and sell it to everyone
Mom: Did you know Jane's Dad sells cars?
She then thinks about this for a minute and then says in a tone telling me she doesn't think this is much help to her "well yeah but do you think he could build us one?"
This is just one of many entrepreneurial ideas from her. I think I see part of her future right here and now.

Kate is too cute! She's so grown up in those pictures and I love that she can sell anything. Such a creative and smart girl! (The fact that Jack had to join right in is so cute!!) We sure miss you guys!
Cute story. You'll be glad you recorded this. Man, Jack, I was needing a Pilon a month or so ago!
