Cookies!!!!
My neighbor and I are in Girl Scouts (though we are in different troops). Cookie selling season has started and we went door to door selling together. It was raining yesterday and we hadn't worn coats so we got pretty cold eventually. We went from door to door to door to door and at about 3:20 (we started around 11:oo) we decided to go home and get our bikes. So we go back get our bikes out but on some warmer clothes and put together a pack of things including our order forms, a snack, scarves, pencils, and so on. Well, we headed out, biked around, and decided to get as far out as possible and then sell on our way back....we got pretty far away from our houses. We barely knew where we were! Sooo we decided hey! we'll go back and visit one of my neighbor's friends on our way back. We didn't sell any cookies on the way back home. Eventually we got to her friend's house and when I got around to getting out my order I couldn't find it!!! I was sooo scared that it would be lost or run over in the road or something. Now you are probably thinking why not get a new form and write the orders down again? Well, number one I couldn't remember what everyone had bought and number two I felt even worse because the form had both my sales on it, but also had hers! I was sooo scared!!!! We went ahead up to her friend's house and they took their order on my neighbor's form. After their order was done we retraced our steps all the way. (which took foreeever!) We got to the last place we had been and saw a paper so as we rode our bikes up to it we screamed for joy as it was the form!!!!! I was so very happy and overjoyed to see it! We picked it up and sped home... I was soaked and so was she for it had rained plus there were tons of huge deep puddles that we had to ride through! I was tired, but glad to be home and to have the order form. What an ordeal that was! That was yesterday and I'm sorry I didn't tell you then but I needed to have dinner and get to sleep (we got home at about 4:30) Today nothing much has happened although my brother, Spencer, and I filled water bottles with baking soda and vinegar and put lids on their caps, waited a while, and went outside to take of the caps which shot across the yard. One went straight across the yard! It was fun and we did it about 2 hours ago at about 9:00 pm. Ah it's been a interesting weekend!

Doing the water bottle thing is fun.
