Scouting Saturday

Saturday, March 7th was a busy day for scouting. First Tatiana and I sat at a booth selling cookies for three hours. But I can finally say that after 350 boxes of cookies sold, 7 hours of sitting a booth, several more hours going door to door selling and delivering cookies... we are finally done with Girl Scout cookies for 2009! Whew! Well, not done eating them of course, we have a freezer full of them...YUMMY! And Tatiana's favorite part of selling? Handling the money of course! That girl is a whiz at math!



Then I took Nick's Cub Scout Pack to Goodwill Industries for Goodwill/ Good Turn Day. They dropped off their donations and then we had a tour. They were able to see how it works behind the scenes and hear about all the good things Goodwill does for the people in our community and the environment. Pretty interesting.

Of course Ben came a long. He was a good kid. How do you keep a 3 year old boy to behave on a field trip? Simple, give him a sucker that is almost as big as his head! It kept him pretty busy!
