Its that time of year that we all love. Just after we try to set resolutions to change the way we eat, it is Girl Scout Cookie time!!
This is our first year to actually sell cookies. Lauren is a first year Brownie and she is VERY excited to be able to sell. We went to the zoo to get our 10 cases to get started early. That very afternoon we went around the neighborhood and she managed to sell 30 boxes in just under two hours. The next day we came down with an ear infection and we have not been able to sell any more because she wants to be the one to do it. More power to her!! She is very determined. I had to work hard to convince her to let my Dad take an order form to work with him to sell there.
We may not be the highest seller of the troop, but she will have done the majority of the work herself and isn't that what Girl Scouts are all about?? We are a little frustrated with our community leader about cookie sales. I just keep saying that this is definitely a learning experience for us and we will leave it at that. We will be so prepared for next year.
We are going today to talk to the community leader to what the plan is. We hope to start selling at a store on Monday.

Rock on! We can't wait to have you!!
Yeah... to my cutie niece for selling so many cookies. There may be a future in business and selling, maybe a stock broker? Way to go Lauren
