The girls got rice bowls at church today. They are plastic little piggy banks in the shape of rice bowl. The idea is for them to make sacrifice's or raise money to fill the banks up. It helps to raise money for rice for the children of Haiti. Alexa has been begging to do a bake sale or something to earn money for Haiti, so she was really eager to start raising money for the rice bowls. At church she asked if she could have a lemonade stand. I was unsure at first, but her dad helped her set it all up. Maren even sat with her some of the time. However, Alexa stuck at it and was very outgoing at asking people if they wanted lemonade. She kept a tally of her money each time someone bought lemonade and explained to them what she was doing with it. Her goal was $10 and she ended up earning $50! She was so excited and wants to do it every weekend. I am so proud how hard she worked and how determined my little girl was. (Maren was really cute too!)
