Girl Scout Cookies

A few weeks ago the little girls across the street from us brought a girl scout cookie order form over. I was busy peddling away on my bike and Brent was left on his own. Not only did he have the cookie order form in his hand. He had standing at the front door the two cutest little blue eyed, brown haired, girls.

He lost the battle before they even asked if he wanted to order cookies.

I could call him a sap, I could call him a push over, but I wont because they were girl scout cookies. Honestly, who can resist girl scout cookies? Add to that the cute little girls selling the cookies and how could you possibly say no?

You can't!

Well a few days ago the cute little girls brought the cookies over. They were tore into and gobbled up at a faster than the speed of light speed. The probabilty of opening the package and eating only one is certainly 0. I can't prove that but I challenge anyone to prove other wise.

When all is said and done this is what I have concluded about Girls Scout Cookies.

1. They are treat that are only availabe once a year. Which means that when they become available we feel we can't say no. If we do we will miss our chance and it will be a whole other year before we can have them again.

2. Cute little girls sell them so we would just be horrible and heartless if we said, "No thank you."

3. You eat them so fast and so many of them that you feel like you didn't order enough. Which means next year you will order even more. Which of course will dissappear just as fast.


So I have just once question left,


"Are Girl Scout Cookies Evil?"

What is it about Girl Scout cookies that make the public go crazy? I had to have mine too. We missed our neighbor girl this year so I was pretty bummed that we weren't going to get them this year. Saturday we went to Sam's Club and Scott bought me two boxes. My biggest fight is with the kids, keeping them away. I did get things finished with the cookies hanging over their heads, it took the girls only three hours to clean their room! So I guess if your use them as bribes against your kids I would say YES they are evil. :)

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Halloween and Cars

The Holiday season is officially upon us. The day of Trick or Treats is here. The pumpkins are carved and sitting on the doorstep. The costumes are ready and the kids are excited for the night to begin. If there is anything that makes me feel young it is the holidays. The holidays feel me with excitement, creativity, and hope. Basically, in my opinion there is nothing better than the holidays. Yes, in this particular post I am choosing to ignore the stress that often accompanies the holidays. What stress? Last week was a very busy week. Tuesday night was the pinewood derby.  H. was a little intense when it came to building and constructing his car. He spent weeks researching learning all the tricks and tips. He grew increasingly impatient whenever Brent tried to interfere during the construction phase. The night of the actual competition his mom could see the look of intensity and competition written all over his face. Even as he casually looked over the competiti...
