Girl Scout Cookie Time!!
I'll be honest, I try to avoid this time of year and all the stands that are set up outside of every store I visit. And for the past couple of years, I've been good. I've stayed on track.
This year, though, they lured in Stonewall. And, let me tell you, they play dirty. She was a happy cute little pixie faced blonde and she skipped up to Stonewall outside of the gas station. I saw it all while sitting in the car. I knew he was a goner the second she flashed her missing front tooth smile and pointed to that delicious green box of Thin Mints. Out loud I begged Stonewall to not give in, but inside I was desperately hoping he would. Seriously, how do they expect one to resist cute little kids and a box of cookies?
Stonewall didn't fail my tastebuds.
He got back in the car weighed down with a box of Thin Mints, Lemon Chalet Cremes and Do-Si-Sos. The man certainly knows the way to my heart.
Well, if you have more resistance than I do and you don't give in and stock up your pantry this year, at least consider helping out the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta with their Project Cookies 4 Troops. With every donation made the Girl Scouts will be sending boxes of cookies to our troops in Iraq. A goal of 650,000 boxes has been set - enough so that each troop gets a taste of home. Along with the boxes the girls will also send letters thanking our troops for their service.
Thank you in advance for you donation!

hehe this makes me laugh because I couldn't find a girl scout cookie stand for the life of me this year! While we were in NC house hunting I saw one and asked husband if I could get a box. As soon as he Ok'ed it I started piling the boxes in my arms. He freaked! But i still waddled my 7 months pregnant butt back to the car with 5 boxes :-)
my sister in law (she is 8 years old) did that this year! when someone would order cookies from her she would ask if they would like to order an additional box to send to deployed troops... she collected over 100 boxes for them!! my MIL had to send boxes after boxes to my husband in Afghanistan to pass out to his unit! (and I will confess I stole a box before sending them to Mr Mike haha)
I couldn't resist them either....I ended up buying 6 boxes....
