I was picking up Caleb from preschool the other day and noticed that there was a store "pad" available and for sale in the shopping strip next to our nearest Target.  Hmmmm, I thought.  If I could open a store?!?

What would it be…?

So I made it a family project.

Meredith – I would open a fabric and paper shop.  Designer fabrics.  Shabby chic paper for scrapbooks, crafts, etc.  I would have a little sandwich shop in the back that would sell girlie stuff like cucumber sandwiches, petit fors and strawberry lemonade’s.  It would have crystal chandeliers and be very frou-frou. 

Derek – A ski shop.  He doesn’t think it would be very successful in TX though.

Jacob – A candy store.  "I would taste everything before I sell it to make sure it tastes good."  Brilliant, I say!

Caleb – A weapon shop.  What kind of weapons?  "Guns, swords, bow and arrows, and whips."  WHIPS?!?  This conversation was a bit alarming…

Samuel – Couldn’t care less.  "Woman, just bring me some more pedialyte."

So there you have it.  A diverse set of entrepreneurial options in the Smith household.  Now if we only had the money…Look for the grand opening of that whip shop coming soon.

And just because every post needs a picture, and I’ve been very negligent in that department…here’s one of us on Christmas Eve at my brother’s.
