For Sale.

Since she started the Water for Life project, Kloe has been putting ALL of her allowance money into the Water for Life jar every week.



Which leaves her with nothing to spend on the things she wants. Well, she found a cute little yippy puppy that she wants at Cracker Barrel - kind of like a Fur Real pet. She wouldn't feel right taking money out of the Water jar - since other people have made donations, too - and so she's been trying to figure out a way to earn the money to buy the puppy.

She is such a little entrepreneur. She is forever coming up with ideas of things she can sell to earn money. Candy. Lemonade. Toys. Even rocks. The hard part is finding customers. :)

Today, the hot item is pine cones from the trees in our yard. Here's where she set up shop. Pine cones 10 cents each....



....or a pine cone family (mom, dad, and baby) for 20 cents. Aren't they cute? And a great deal at that!



Although living on a cul-de-sac sometimes leaves us a little short on customers, she seems to have a very reliable supply chain.

Umm, wait. This is her supplier? I think I was better off not knowing. Look closely....



He scurried up there before anyone even knew it. Thank goodness Daddy found him and not me. Being raised with three brothers, I'm a pretty calm momma about boys being boys, but I'm not sure I would have handled this one as well as Daddy did. A calm, "Better come on down a little bit, Son," did the trick.

And judging from the looks of this picture, I'm not sure even Jacob realized how high he had gotten. :)



If you happen to be in the neighborhood, we would be happy to set you up with a few pine cones - or a pine cone family. You would be helping one cute little yippy puppy find his home.
