How To Keep Three Girls Busy...

1. Tell them that they need to make some money. Tell them that selling lemonade is FUN!

2. Make them spend all morning cutting out giant letters for their giant posters!

3. Load them up in an old pickup truck and make them ride precariously in the back.

4. Drive them to the "absent" neighbors house to set up shop! (Tell them that this is for their own safety and NOT for the mere fact that this makes them too far to come home easily!)


5. Get the lemonade, fresh sliced lemons and frozen raspberries and put them in pretty containers. Tell the girls to smile and jump around when people drive by.

6. Mistakingly give them your cell phone so that they can call you and ask for more lemonade, water, ice, ice cream, sunscreen, raspberries, entertainment, duct tape and etc.


7. Finally let them come home and count their money. See the happy faces when they realize that they just made forty dollars after 6 hours of work in the hot sun.



8. Tell them to have a bath for the next 2 hours because they are filthy dirty. Make them all get in at the same time to save water.


9. Then make them go out to the hot dusty farm to work with the sheep. Don't worry about any more baths, they are already in their pajamas!
