This morning started off with a much anticipated visit from Godma Ann. It had been way too long since we’d seen her and it’s always a good time when we do. The boys, for some reason, got into brushing Ann’s hair and then it turn into a whole spa treatment with a manicure. Ann gave them the idea of starting up this spa like a lemonade stand, that people would come and pay them for their services. Carlos immediately jumped on the chance to earn money, and it was really cool to see the boys working together to make signs, gather supplies and all to get their little business started.

I helped get the table set up, made some lemonade to sell (in case people didn’t want the spa experience) and the business “A Dollar a ‘Do & A Nickel A Nail” was born. We had neighbors stop in, a couple of bikers, our mail lady and Monica brought the girls over for manicures and hair brushing. They manned their table and pitched their services diligently for over an hour and made $15. They are looking forward to a trip to Mora to spend their hard earned cash.
