Yesterday was cookie pick up. Let me set the stage for you. It was a cold, windy, rainy, snowing pretty much a nasty day. We had to pick up 181 cases of cookies. With nothing more then my Vibe, a CRV and a Malibu, my sister and I were off to get all of our cookies. The whole cookie picking up process is not as easy as one would think. You have to unload the semi, break it down by troop, load your car, unload your car, and then break it out by girl.
We lucked out and were able to 70 cases in the Vibe and 70 cases in the CRV so the reminders fit into the Malibu nicely. Not to mention we were able to get home and unload the cookies before the raining really started.

We have 15 girls in your troop and out of that 15 we only had 2 that did not sell a hundred or more. The whole troop did a great job selling this year. The pick up process went pretty smooth. We had 10 of our parents show up and get their cookies no problem. There were of course 5 that we had to call and remind them. Which a little note on that we have not heard a word from any of them.
To put this whole process a little more introspective I broke the day down a little more.
