We are Addict Enablers

Yes, we were out again pushing girl scout cookies. This time in front of a bookstore, way out in west Kendall...almost the everglades as far as I'm concerned. Though exhausting, we made some good sales. Therefore, this should be the last sale of the season for us. Yippee!

I am now an expert on cookie sales and have come to discover that 5 and 6 yr olds only last about 1 hour to 1.5 hours. They then check out and just start running around wild playing with each other, leaving the adults to take of the role of "cookie pusher". That's why it was so exhausting.

I made up a few cheers in anticipation of the sale, and hwas hoping that the girls would come up with some cheerleading moves to put to them:

Girl Scout cookies, what a treat
For a price that can't be beat!

Girl Scout cookies, they're a thrill
If you don't buy them, no one will!

Clearly, I've been watching a bit too much glee. The girls were resoundingly uninterested. Sigh.

So, we're at home relaxing before going over to my parents house to check things out there. We're all working on a report T must do on Gerald Ford for president's day, so we're searching for "kindergarten appropriate" facts that T can recite to the class...hopefully keeping under wraps our political leanings ;)

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Ok, so I worked out yesterday and my ab muscles hurt and laughing at your post doesn't help. HILARIOUS! I don't know which is funnier - you making up cheers (while sitting through Glee marathons) and being stuck out in the boonies with cookies and 5-6 year olds or T. having to do a report on Gerald Ford. Made my day. Hee hee.

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
