Ethan is my eternal optimist. I find it so endearing, yet he gets it from Jared so I know one day his wife will find it annoying and opposed to reality.
Anyway, today he and his friends on the street wanted to have a Lemonade stand.
His question: Do we have any lemonade mix?
My answer: No.
His solution: Make it from scratch with lemon juice, sugar and water.
His question: Do we have any posterboard?
My answer: No.
His solution: Write a sign on the back of a used piece of notebook paper.
His question: Do we have any paper cups?
My answer: No.
His solution: He put the lemonade in ziploc bags and sold them with toothpicks for popping the bag open and drinking.

He gets his brilliance from you! I am certain the verification word describes his bags of lemonade to a t. "nomess"
Persistence--- gotta love it! He's very creative and didn't give up on his idea, that's awesome!
That's amazing. How did he do?
How ingenuous! I love it. I would have never thought of the baggie and toothpick idea. He's destined to do great things!
I love that freaky little Pabst.
Haha, that made me laugh out loud! Very funny! I especially loved the ziploc bag with the toothpick idea! I'd buy some :)
That was great! Yet one more use for a ziploc for me to file away ...
He's a little genius. He is going to go far in life.
Love the creative problem-solving! Excellent work Ethan!
P.S. If Ethan had a hot cocoa stand today I would totally buy some.

too bad it was FREEZING outside today! He definitely gets his creative genius from you. I would have never thought of that.. I totally would have bought some. I love how you brag about your kids.. one of the many signs you are a great mom.
