500 BOXES

Mackenzie has been a busy little Brownie. This cute, quiet and somewhat introverted (if she doesn't know you) little girl has blown all our minds with her Girl Scout selling capabilities. We were so excited when she sold 412 boxes for her initial order. She only wanted to get to the next prize level of 450 before March 3rd, so we had plenty of time to get her out and sell only 38 boxes.

Well, the weather did not cooperate at all. We had the ice, the snow, and just bitter cold. Finally, the weather cooperated with our schedule and she ventured out on Saturday to sell. I told her to aim for 20-25 and then she could probably earn the remaining boxes at the booth or booths she would be working with her troop. After an hour or so, Jay called me to let me know she had sold 55 more boxes and now then new goal was 500. So, after a couple of hours she came home with a total of 86 boxes sold which put her at 498. Well, a family member bought the last two to put her at 500. Then on Sunday she hung out at the booth with her troop selling more cookies.

Well, I guess you could say when it comes to selling and earning prizes there is not a stranger Mackenzie would not approach, introduce herself and ask "How many boxes would you like to buy?"
