We have survived our first ever cookie delivery day. I have never ever seen so many Girl Scout cookies in my life. Thin Mints, Samoas, Trefoils oh my!!! Just check out the cookie craziness that went on:

After we were done sorting per cookie type, troop order and scout order, we were finally done.

And now the fun starts. We need to sort all these boxes to fill out orders that our wonderful family, coworkers and friends bought from our Daisy. Here is what 327 boxes of cookies look like:
Mia and her cookies

As you can see, Mia is 5 1/2 Thin Mint cases tall and missing quite a few teeth.

Before you know it, it will be Cookie season again. It will be bigger and better next year. Bring it 2016!!!

The first Girl Scout cookie pre-sale has been successful. My Daisy was the top seller of her troop with 328 boxes sold. She seemed to have had lots of fun selling to friends and family. She was shy at first when selling but eventually she was a pro. So eager to ask anyone to buy cookies from her. She also made a video for Eric’s work selling her wares. That was a hit.

Now that we have a successful pre-sale under our belts we think we can hit 400 boxes next year. The pressure it on!!!!

We are still waiting for our cookie shipment. Only three more days!!!

After a few emails back and forth, I can now say that Mia is now a Girl Scout Daisy.

I never thought about Mia being a Girl Scout. I would see them at school with their sashes or vests, selling cookies or their project posters. But I never ever thought about Mia being one of them.

And so here we are, one meeting under her (and my) belt. I have put all the patches on her vest. I have been obsessing over the Girls Scout GCNWI Programs website. I am waiting for the second meeting. I have bought the Daisy manual (it is not required but still). I know where the Girl Scout office it. Already planning the Girl Scout cookie assault that will happen in a few months. She is working on her Girl Scout promise. She needs to learn that to get her first Daisy patch. So much to do.

And yes, this is after ONE MEETING. I just crack myself up. Daisies is a two year commitment. Bring it!
