Today we took on this new adventure of Boys Scouts in full force. The popcorn sale officially began today and we wasted no time visiting a few special people to fill up our order forms.
Aunt Tricia was first on our list. She was so excited to see the boys dressed in their uniforms.
We also stopped at Grandma Schneider's and Aunt Amy's instead of answering the door they called us in, so no photo ops with them :(
We stopped at home for a quick lunch, then hit the streets.
The Boys did great, Michael hit the house's on one side of the street and Landon the other. I hung out on the side walk to keep an eye on both and let them work their magic. I was amazed at how well they went up to the doors by themselves, gave their little speech and sometimes encountered success and other times no luck. The "No's" didn't discourage them, they just continued onto the next house.
I was so proud of Landon today, Mr shy guy sure came out of his shell. When Michael was ready to call it quits, Landon was not and wanted to continue on. So while Michael headed home Landon and I ventured on. It wasn't until the storm clouds rolled in that he finally was ready to head home, and just barely made it in the door before the down pour began.
Before we went out the boys set their goals at $650 each. To my surprise they are already half way there after only 2 hours of walking the neighborhood. With 4 weeks to go we shall have our goal easily met.
Popcorn anyone??
