lemonade and a wii

 This Noah of mine has been working hard for the last 6 months. Doing extra jobs at home and putting away his 20 cents at a time. He's been saving for something big. 

At the store he would beg me to buy him something from the check out aisle that looked irresistible. "You can buy it with your own money if you want, Noah."

"Never mind, I'm saving for a Wii." And that was the last I would hear of it.

Gage decided he wanted in on it too. So they dumped their money jars together and kept working. After birthday money from generous grandparents they were almost there.

Noah thought a Lemonade Stand might do the trick. I made the lemonade, Grandma laid the tablecloth and sweet Grandpa spread the word to the neighbors. Noah made signs, would yell and wave to each car that passed by and did a great job pouring the lemonade.

And guess what? 

They did it.
