Yeah!!!!! This is my familie's favorite time of year. I'm not sure if it is the extra quality time I get to spend with my girls doing an activity they love. Ashley loves the challenge of setting a goal and achieving it, and Brooke I think just loves meeting people and of course eating cookies. Brooke's favorite thing to do is go door to door with us selling cookies. She never meets a stranger, but she's ok b/c I go with her. Ashley loves the business side of selling cookies. She loves keeping track of how many of each she has sold and who all we have to deliver them to. I am going to let her design and print out the business cards this year. She is taking a computer course at school and this may help her by doing something hands on with the computer. I usually print them and she loves to pass them out. Of course they don't say the girl's name or address. They just say a Thank you for buying cookies from our troop number and my cell number if anyone changes locations before delivery or if they'd like to add some to their order. We are not allowed to sell cookies via ebay, but me posting the sell on my blog for family and friends is ok.
So if anyone would like to buy any of the following types of girl scout cookies you can email me at my personal email address: bnicole19951@aol.com
They are $3.50 per box and we are also going to send cookies to 3 local soldiers stationed overseas if you'd like to donate a box to them that would be awesome. We sent 4 cases last year as a troop to one soldier to share with his fellow soldiers and would love to send more this year since we have 3 soldiers. If you'd like to donate a box to them you can write them a personal note and I will have the girl's in my troop write it on a card they have decorated. We will place these cards, a letter from our troop, and a picture from our troop in each case we send to them. Hoepfully that will help brighten their day. I started doing this 5 years ago b/c my brother was stationed overseas in the military and I don't want anyone over there without a chance of having any girl scout cookies. We are also going to try to send care packages as a troop to them after our cookie sale is over. I am going to try hard to instill in my girl scouts a place in their heart for helping others. I have a great group of girls and I know they love to help others, but I want them to remember me for teaching them that life lesson. I will list the types of cookies below and if you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Tagalongs (Peanut butter & choc.)
Thin Mints
(best out of the freezer. Mmmmmmm)
Ashley's fav: Lemon Chalet
Our new on: Dulce de leche
(tastes like a trefoil with caramel on it)
Do-Si-Dos
(peanut butter)
Sugar Free Choc Chip
Last but not least:
Trefoil
(shortbread cookie)
And in other news: Brooke, Katie (our junior girl scout in my troop), and myself will be on the morning show Monday morning live at 6:15 am. I will TIVO it for you Mom and Dad. The girls will be in cookie costumes and I have to learn how to say the new cookie before then. Needless to say I am a nervous wreck. I also will be working on almost no sleep so if I look rough please don't tell me. I'd rather not know. Ashley and I will be arriving home after her competition in Baton Rouge around 2 am in the morning and then I have to be at the TV station at 6am. It will be worth it for a memory Brooke will cherish forever. Ashley has already been on the news once for girl scouts. Girl scouts is a great opportunity for them.
Hope to hear from you all soon if you'd like some girl scout cookies.
