Normally Girl Scout cookie season is spring, but for us in the land of sand, Girl Scout cookies arrive in June. This is the 3rd year we’ve been blessed by the cookie fairies. The call goes out that Girls Scout cookies have arrived on the island (donated by a troop in San Diego) and we all line up for our boxes of Thin Mints and Samoas. It’s fun to get a taste of home and to get adorable hand made thank you cards that get handed out along with the cookies.
Yesterday was cookie day — we got 12 boxes and everyone broke open their favorites on the way home.
Today was cookie day, part 2. They had so many boxes donated to our base this year that when we went through the NEX after church they told the kids to load up again.
Note the new haircut. He wanted it long, but then got tired of all that hair and was trying to decide between getting a haircut like Captain America or Iron Man. He looked up the photo on google by himself and show the barber what he wanted. He went with Captain America.
Day two they were all out of Thin Mints so they got a bunch of Samoas, Tagalongs (the chocolate covered peanut butter ones) and the lemon powered sugar ones (which I think are boring, but all 3 boys love them. Go figure).
The girl scouts here can’t sell cookies, but they do a great job of handing them out. Everyone loves free cookies!
Especially this girl. Last night she snuck a box of Thin Mints from the stash and hid upstairs in the blanket fort with her friend Jude and they ate almost the entire box.

We have enough cookies to last until next year’s cookie day, but with Camille in the house, we’ll be lucky if they last until Josh gets home. 2 weeks down, 2 weeks to go.
