Cookies!

March 3, 2021

As I mentioned before, Samantha is selling Girl Scout cookies and I’m the Cookie Manager. I really had no idea what the job entailed before I signed up. Well, it’s a big job. Two weeks ago I got to drive out to the Farmer’s Market bright and early on a Saturday to fill my car to the brim with boxes of cookies! Samantha’s troop leader also came and her minivan was filled to the top as well!

I then got to unload them all into our garage (that is currently covered in construction dust!)…

and then sort them into the orders for all 22 girls in our troop. Phew.

We then loaded up all of Samantha’s cookies and made deliveries! Who wouldn’t want too see this cutie bringing cookies to your door?!

We also made a trip to Robert’s office to deliver all of the cookies there. Samantha was really excited about this!

On Saturday we set up a cookie stand in the yard and sold lots of cookies! How could anyone resist this Daisy? Especially with this kind of entertainment! ha!

Samantha has sold a lot of cookies. 387 boxes to be exact! Wow! Cookie sales go through April though which means my Cookie Manager job continues. Still pickup up and sorting boxes and boxes of cookies. If anyone still wants some Thin Mints, we can hook you up!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Still more Naples

February 25, 2021

After school was cancelled on Tuesday, I really thought they would at least be delayed on Wednesday so we decided to change our flights yet again and stick around Naples until Thursday! It ended up being a full day of school Wednesday and Thursday but the kids didn’t mind playing hooky…especially since they go to play hooky at the beach!

More Naples

February 24, 2021

We were supposed to fly back to Birmingham on Monday but were watching the weather because they were predicting some ice. We ended up rescheduling our flights to Wednesday and definitely made the right call. School was cancelled for Tuesday and Robert woke up to this on Tuesday morning!

The kids were a little sad to be missing the “snow” but we headed to the beach and they seemed to forget about all of that wintry mix pretty quickly!

Naples

February 23, 2021

After our Christmas trip was cancelled I wasn’t sure when we were going to get down to Naples again. Then GJ and Daddo were able to get both shots of their vaccine and the kids had a 4 day weekend so we decided to hop a plane and head on down! Double masked of course!

We got to move into the new Villa with GJ and Daddo and all stay in the new house. So fun! Samantha enjoyed her first night there in one of my favorite old nightgowns…
