GC Cookies for Valentine's

GS Cookies for Valentine's

Today was a perfect day to spend with friends selling Girl Scout Cookies in front of Publix! We signed up to be there from 11-3pm at the year old Publix nearby. 2 girls, Mariah a 2nd year Brownie and Amarie a 2nd year Daisy. This is our last weekend to sell as much as we can...Mariah and Amarie made a great team out in front of Publix! This was easy compared to the several times Mariah and I have gone out 'canvasing the neighborhood' selling our blue cooler full of cookies to anyone that would open their door or if we saw them 'moving'...Mariah does really good going to door to door! She seems to have more energy to 'keep moving' and 'keep going on' when she has to MOVE and gets to run about and or walk at whatever pace she wants...standing in front of the store is a different approach to 'getting sales'...she didn't seem to be as into selling today as she has previous, maybe she is all COOKIED out!! It was wonderful hangin with my friend and her daughter watching our girls get out there and SELL SELL SELL those cookies. The fundraiser goal the girls are working towards is to go to a WATER PARK! When 3pm rolled around we sold about 60 boxes of cookies! That gets split with how many Scouts are working the table, today it was only 2 girls, so they sold 30 boxes each!Just before we broke down our Cookie Booth, my oldest brother Don 'stumbled upon' us because he went to Publix to pick up some groceries. UNCLE DON!!...Mariah was so surprised to see him! Pictures were snapped and memories were forever captured digitally...my brother is here visiting from Seattle and staying for while. He and Mariah have a magical connection! We took him home and had some fun conversation during the car ride, the back seat was full with cases of COOKIES, the table and the signs. All 3 of us sat in the front seat with Mariah in the middle, she cuddled up to him and was just so happy to 'see him here'!! We are loving having my oldest brother visiting and running into him when we are out and about...he is so gosh darn FUNNY and makes everyone laugh and smile! The world needs more happy - funny people that are FUN to be around! He has good happy energy! Don...we love you so much! Mariah had another FUN day....being a cookie selling Brownie!
