It is Girl Scout cookie and Boy Scout popcorn season around here. Since both my kids are in scouts that means we are busy knocking on doors and doing our part to raise money for our troops. Both troops are raising money for activities they'd like to try and/or attend.
This weekend I took Dakota walking around our neighborhood to sell some cookies and we were able to sell quite a bit. We decided to start a bit away from our house and make our way back but when people noticed what we were doing they were waving us down to put in their orders! People just love their girl scout cookies!! One of our neighbors left a note on the door asking us to come back so that she could place another order and when Tony came in from selling popcorn with Harper last night he informed me that another neighbor also wanted to add to their order. Cookie sales began on 9/15 and as of last night we have 88 orders. Not too shabby. The cookies offered this year are: Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Girl Scout S'mores, Lemonades, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Shortbread, Thanks-A-Lot and Caramel Chocolate Chip. They are all $4 a box with the exception of the new gluten free caramel chocolate chip which is $5.

As I mentioned, Harper and Tony walked over to the houses on either side of us with the popcorn slip and they were able to make a few sales. Harper will be working a booth this Sunday as well and he'll get credit for whatever they sell that day too. Tony has copies of both the popcorn and cookie order forms at work and stuff seems to sell like wildfire there. We don't really have to walk the kids around for orders but since it is for their benefit I think it's a good idea to let them do some of the work.
