Cookie Selling Day 2

Grace got her numbers up to over 100 dollars today!  It was a crazy day though because it's literally snowed ALL DAY.  We went out for about 45 minutes but it was just so so cold that I didn't want Miss girly to get too cold or sick.  It was quite beautiful, though, to be out there walking with Grace in the lightly falling snow.  And they weren't flakes as much as they were extremely tiny balls of snow.  She does so great with selling, and she's got so much patience, but it was pretty cute that we'd get to a door and knock, and it wouldn't even be 30 seconds that she's saying, "Ug, there's NO ONE HERE!"  And most of the time she ended up being right :)

Since it was such a yucky day we stayed in the rest of the day and we just cuddled and played.  A good day for sure.

Cookie Selling Day ONE!

Grace did such a great job selling cookies!  Right after school she had a lady to go visit to sell cookies too, and then by the end of the day, she sold 64 boxes of cookies!!  I was so amazed with how well she did.  It was so cute because with the first lady we sold to, when we were all done, Grace asked if she could have some cookies.  I thought it was just the sweetest thing and it's something that Grace would do.  She's just got the softest heart, and that's what makes me love her so much.  She just makes me so happy.  And then what did she do in the evening?  Chased Daddy around and around the island!  It was so adorable.  And Levi wanted to play SO SO bad but he's just not quite there to where he can run with them.  Grace and Levi are so cute together, and they sure love each other, which is wonderful.  

Not only did girly sell 64 boxes, but she lost another tooth! She was chewing on my shirt and when I flipped my shirt out of her mouth, out popped the tooth! It's so amazing to see my girly blossoming. I really thought going door to door would be a struggle the entire time, and to be honest...it was tough. It was...I don't know the word...but as we went door to door there were SO many different emotions coming out. Excitement with the flapping hands, nervousness with the spinning in circles, tired with the screeching, bored with the raspberries blown, more excitement with kicking snow and flapping. But she did it. And she succeeded. I am so proud of you, Grace. Cumulatively sold cookies for 4 hours. Great job Grace! And now the tooth fairy gets to visit tonight!!

Just About There!

We had a girl scout meeting tonight and Grace got all her paperwork so that she can sell cookies!  I don't know who is more excited...me or her!  And doesn't she just look adorable?!

Practice Makes Perfect

We had fun today working on lines while swinging downstairs.  Grace is so lucky to have a swing in her basement!!!  Knock knock... "Hi, my name is Grace.  Would you like to buy some cookies?"  "SURE!  What are you going to use the money for?"  "I'm going to go to GIRL SCOUT CAMP!!"  

Did I mention I love this girl?

My Girl Scout

I'm so excited that Grace is in Girl Scouts and that I get to go through this adventure with her!  Cookie selling is coming up and this will be our first time, so I'm completely thrilled.  And Grace knows that whatever money she earns she gets to use to pay for Girl Scout camp and so every time we talk about camp she just screams with excitement.  So there are so many fun things coming up.  Here's my girl!

I love you so much girly!!!

Girl Scout Party

Today was a fun day because it was all about getting ready to go to a girl scout party tonight!  It was so much fun and I loved that I could sit at the wall and watch Grace without having to be there with her.  We made cupcakes to take as a snack because each girly had to take a snack.  They were raspberry frosted sherbert cupcakes.  I sure didn't like them but Grace sure did!  She got pictures taken, played games about the cookies she'll be selling, played a money game to try to learn about money, and got to have pizza and soda for dinner!  FUN!

She had a great time baking with mama :)
