Buddies!



We went sledding last month with Amelia and Natalie and I had to share a side by side of these friends since they a year old. We don't see them near as much as we'd like, but always have fun when we do!

COOKIES!!!

Juliette had a smaller initial order of cookies than she did last year, but it was still over 100 boxes! She was so excited to help sort through them and make everyone's order. Bless you Little Brownie Bakers for making all the boxes a different color so I could just call out the color I needed.
 


 
 
Then there was her first booth sale! We sat outside Wal Mart yesterday and she and her friend Sammi sold almost 200 boxes! At first she was shy about talking to customers- she got over that fast! She would shout at people walking by "How many boxes would you like?!" Then she'd rattle off all the types of cookies adding in her opinion about each type. Love her!

Girl Scout guest

Josh came to one of our scout meetings at school to lead a meeting about how to write computer code. The girls all had fun and were excited when their codes worked.
 






On stage!

Juliette tried to "direct" Eddie on the stage at the Children's Museum- HAHA like anyone could direct him. But they waited in the wings for each other then came out and did their thing. It was adorable. Juliette spun around in her butterfly wings and Eddie did some karate fireman moves.
 
 







Valentine treats

The girl scouts made chocolate truffles for all the teachers- and I think sampled a good amount of the merchandise!


First grade Awards

Juliette got the Pride of the Pack award again this year for her award.

Cookie Rally

We went to our first Girl Scout Cookie Rally yesterday and Juliette had fun, got 4 badges, and won a door prize. Her favorite station was the cookie sampling station-not shocked for that one. She also had fun with the scavenger hunt trying to find hidden pictures of cows with her friends.
Of course she made sure I put the new badges on her smock right away to Missy didn't take them again. It's a good thing she's getting a Brownie vest in a few months because this Daisy smock can't handle too many badges on the back and she still has at least three more coming to her with cookie sales and participating in the Christmas parade! 
Pictures to come!
