Owen is quite the entrepreneur...he's always trying to think of ways to earn some money. He had a lemonade stand at our garage sale earlier this summer and he made over $17...mainly due to my SIL's friend who gave both Camryn my niece (she was selling cookies) and Owen $10 each! He was super cool! 

Owen's latest idea was so give rollercoaster rides in the wagon. It was something he thought up all on his own and the other kids LOVED the idea. They were running up to their piggy banks and coming back down pay for their ride. I love that he used his imagination and that his money making ways actually required him to do physical work...he can be a lazy bum....and that he was providing a service that was fun for his siblings! 

Just the other day I told him that it would be fun if he rode Zeke's monster truck into the garage and got Popsicle for everyone and then rode out and sang some music like the ice cream man. He thought that was great except the singing part. He wanted it to be a surprise so he closed the garage door so no one would see what he was doing. Zeke was crying his eyes out because he wanted to put his scooter away. I had to explain that he was going to ruin the surprise. When Owen finally had the Popsicles he drove out into the street and hollered...."Popsicles....get your Popsicles!" Then the other kids understood what was going on. One thing I didn't explain to Owen was that he was just giving the Popsicles to them and not charging for them. Cute little money maker! He did give the kids their treat and wasn't too upset about it. While eating our Popsicles Jack and I made up a Popsicle song....
