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!

Batter up!

We sure missed getting to play last spring and are looking forward to a fun season!

MB Magic

March 1, 2021

This year Spencer played on an OTM basketball team. It’s another competitive league in Birmingham and we were pretty excited to get him on a team. It was a fun season and the team improved dramatically from the beginning to the end! We ended up skipping the opening tournament before Christmas as we were trying to stay covid free for our post Christmas trip to Naples (that didn’t work out!) but then we made it to all the other games except one because we were finally in Naples! Spencer enjoyed it and that’s what matters.

The boys lost their first 5 games but then went on a 3 game winning streak to end the season in 6th place out of 10 teams. We were so proud of them! They started playing together as a team so well by the end of the season. Spencer was the best at those jump shots and could sink some free throws too! They also had some sharp looking uniforms!

Love this little baller!

The most fun was that they beat the MB Green “B” team and the MB Ballers! They ended up being the #2 MB team behind MB Black which won the championship. Go boys!

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!
