BubbaTubbs: Lemonade Stand

Lemonade Stand

Tubbs announced (yet again) that he is saving his money for an Apple Ipad.
I don't really know why he wants one...or if he knows what they are. But, he know that his brother doesn't have one and its bigger than the IPOD Touch his brother got for Christmas, thus it must be better.
I told him how much an IPad costs ($499 minimum) and he seems to think he can do this. I would LOVE for him to save his money and buy one....even though he has assured me I can't use it. (I think I could bribe him with a cake ball or a McDonald's McDouble).
So...this morning he came up with a plan: A Lemonade stand.
As an "investor" I purchased all of the supplies and dad got out the camping table and chairs.
Bubba decided he was going to split the stand and sell cherry kool-aid. Good deal.
Tubbs made the signs and we posted them up. The boys were good for an hour and the neighbors were gracious. At their request, we made a "tip cup." By the end of the hour the boys made $12. Not bad.

I stood with Tubbs at the end of the street and tried to get him to dance with his sign. No such luck.

Their first customers:

The boys want to do a lemonade stand EVERY weekend. Sounds good in theory....but hopefully no one reports us for taxes! :)

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
