Girl Scout Cookies



Wow! This is our first year as a Brownie so this was our first year to experience Girl Scout Cookies. I have learned alot. 1) I have NO self control when it comes to Thin Mints; 2) I have NO self control when it comes to All Abouts; 3) I have NO self control when it comes to Samoas; 4) I don't like Tagalongs (thank goodness); and lastly, 5) selling cookies outside in CO can be VERY cold. The first weekend the girls sold cookies we sold at Walmart and the weather was good (windy not too cold) they sold 225 boxes of cookies; the next time, we sold at a grocery store and it was very snowy, windy and extremely COLD. The store was very nice and after an hour let the girls come inside the front of the store, the girls sold 58 boxes of cookies. Leah did very good her first year out and we thank all of you who supported her. She ended up selling 180 boxes.

I did not have any this year but my favs are Trefoils! I will have to try All Abouts next year - shortbread dipped in fudge. Yum!!

This is my worst fear...my girls are joining Girl Scouts after a year of begging and I may gain ten pounds during cookie season!

You've got to do a new post. Everytime I go to check your blog I start craving Samoas, and then tell myself "next year I have to buy more boxes". I thought 4 would be enough, afterall, I'm the only one in my family that will eat them. Well, it's just a month after cookie season ended and they have been gone for a while now! I love the pictures of the kids though, and the father daughter dance is too cute.
