While sitting around the table eating lunch, I asked the kids what their New Year's resolutions might be. I explained to them that resolutions are like goals or just something really cool or really special that you would like to do. Houston immediately shouted that he would like to bake cookies. Hayes, following Houston's lead, said he would also like to bake cookies. I then explained further what a resolution is. Houston then decided he would like to clean up the whole world. Alright, getting closer. Hayes said he would like to get his yellow belt. Houston, now on a roll of listing things and considering the greater good, said he would like to teach Hayes how to play Pokemon. He would also like for us to get a new house. Then his wheels really started spinning.
Houston: We need to raise money for a new home.
Dad: How are we going to do that?
Houston: We could have a lemon thingy.
Dad: A lemonade stand?
Houston: (with his index finger pointed directly up in the air) Yeah, we need wood, glasses, and lemons. A dollar a glass! (more deep thought) Or we could have a pop tart stand!
