Popcorn.......

The boys, dog and I just got back from a short outing to try and sell Boy Scout Popcorn. We started out by going to the neighbors across the street, fortunately and unfortunately the stop at said neighbors never is just a quick stop. It always ends up being a visit about....stuff, you know, the usual gossip about the neighborhood, PTA happenings, what we're making for dinner or what we SHOULD have made for dinner, all while the kids run, jump and wrestle around on the lawn (this is also what the dogs do). So about an hour later (and now it's getting dark) we say our goodnights for the 10th time and head out to the rest of the street in the hopes of making a few sales before it rains and or gets too dark! We actually did very well, of all the houses we went to, the people that answered their door bought at least something. And I think we only made it to 6 or 7 houses!! But seriously, how can anyone resist a bluish eyed, blonde hair little guy who rings your doorbell and very seriously says "Hi, my name is Cody Brunner, I'm a BOy Scout from Pack 11. I'm selling popcorn, would you like to buy some?" It would be tough to say no......I'm always a sucker! :) And besides Boy Scout popcorns the bomb, it's not like you wouldn't want some anyway, even if it wasn't such a cutie selling it!! (obviously I'm not biased towards my kids). I'll have to take some pictures tomorrow when we go out!
Last night was our PTA meeting where we voted for board members. I'm not on the board, but I managed to become Chair of quite a few committee's! :) My favorite being Potluck night for the teachers during parent teacher conference week. The night that they have to stay until 8ish, the PTA brings in a Potluck, so they don't have to miss dinner or even worry about bringing something. This is something that's right up my alley. As is obvious by my "baby weight" that I still have, food is my forte. :)
Anyway....I better get the boys in bed! Night..................
