Girl Scout Cookies

Olivia continues to enjoy her first year as a Daisy in the Girl Scouts program.  One girl scout right-or-passage is participating in cookie sales.  Selling cookies has been a great experience for Olivia.  I don't have an exact number of boxes that she sold, but I do know that it is somewhere between 225-249.  She worked hard sale this many.  She and her daddy took a wagon around the neighborhood a couple of times and sold quite a few boxes that way.  In addition to this, she and I helped work a cookie booth on three different Saturdays.

Olivia was a little shy on her first Saturday at the booth.  The troop leaders were smart and paired up the Daisies with the older scouts.  Olivia picked up on what the other girls were doing- and by the third weekend she was a pro.  She was speaking up and asking people if they would like to buy cookies, re-stocking the table, and helping give change.  She could even describe each cookie and correctly answer questions about them.  Although selling cookies was a good experience, I'm glad that it's over.  Having all of those girl scout cookies sitting around the house was detrimental to my diet.
