Nice Weekend

The boys (and me too) are so lucky to have an Auntie that sends them weekly boxes of fun treats/toys/trinkets/tape/notepads/flashlights/etc.  She is really good at mail!  In the box of goodies was this picture of a little Monica all decked out in her baton recital costume.  The boys were amazed and laughed a ton!  The picture got texted to a few friends in the neighborhood, and it was the hit of the week.  The super close up face shot will show that Beau looks like the boy version of Mommy.  Isn't that the cutest? 
It was a fairly warm/not too cool weekend, so we grabbed an ice cream cone of course.  Who can make a grocery store trip without being armed with ice cream before?!?! 
On the list for the grocery store: lemonade mix, cookies, and cups.  Since we had just rescued our lemonade stand from the storage unit, we decided to put it to good use.  It got a little cool after standing outside for a while, but we were warm and cozy in our hoodies.   
Several of our new neighbors came out to support our efforts, and we got to meet a few new people from down the street.  Lincoln handled the sign himself, and WAY underpriced the goods.  He was only charging pennies!  Luckily, no one carries pennies these days . . . they made at least a dollar from each customer.  Sweet thing has even decided to call his new Star Wars bank his college trust fund!  We are going to need to sell a lot more lemonade, but the initiative he's showing is great!  Many more lemonade stands are in our future, and we love interacting with the people in our neighborhood.  Love that it's warm enough in early December to be outside.
