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. :)

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
