Blackberry Cobbler and The Lemonade Stand

As promised...I put the blackberries/raspberries to good use today! If anyone can tell me how you tell the difference between blackberries and black raspberries I'd be interested to know! The cobbler was seedy...but delicious!
The kids decided last night that they wanted to host a lemonade stand today...
Their prices were as follows: $.01 for ice cubes, $.25 lemonade and $.50 for peanut butter cookies. Yes, they are goobs! lol

They did actually have a few paying customers, only one that wasn't family though!
Great-Grandpa Kenneth and Great-Grandma Helen came over, of course!
Sam bought a couple cups from them while he cut the grass ~ mercenary little twits aren't they? You'd think they could give it to Sam...but no! He had to pay just like everyone else! Jon bought some and I went out and bought some as Uncle Steve's proxy. Then, God Bless him, Kevin, the mailman humored them.
Eventually, as you can see they gt bored...
the stand didn't last long after that. They did pretty good though, netting $5.25. They plan to buy themselves a set of finger paints with their profits.
I told them next time they can do a community service and GIVE the lemonade and cookies away and see what kind of patronage they get then!
Love you all!!
