AS posted before, we regularly wash our cars out on the driveway together with the kids (and neighbor friend Emma) in our swimsuits, so we can spray eachother. Well, I usually get the full load many times over, which is worth the laughter adn the help I get washing the cars! Well, on Wednesday, we were done, adn the kids were still full of energy, so I suggested to them to do a car wash. They were very excited, and started making a sign. We talked about how much they could ask, and then we discussed if they wanted to donate to a charity. They said they wanted to help my friend, who has had breast cancer, and is walking 60 miles next month in the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk for breast cancer, for which each participant has to raise (I believe) $2300! They did want to earn some money themselves too, so they decided to donate 50% of all the money to my friend. Their first customer was..... a police officer!!! Hahaha, we were all a little scared, so his car was superclean! :) They had a neighbor friend, and one more car, so by the time we were done, they had washed 5 cars (incl. ours) and raised $22 for my friend. They were very proud of themselves, earned some money, donated to charity, learned a little about advertising, how much money you can ask for certain services, how to add it all up, and how to take 50% for the donation. Not bad for a few hours work!
Here a picture of the girls w. the police car, it was just too funny to resist. (COMING)
