When it rains, it pours. 3 out of 5 family members were down with a cold this weekend so we decided to take it easy. We pulled out the board games (unfortunately, my daughter found the one game we tried our best to hide - The Littlest Pet Shop Game), watched a movie and decided to use the quarters from our coin hunt a few days ago to purchase Girl Scout Cookies for the US Military Troops overseas.
Sunday at 9 a.m. was the day and time that we could officially start selling girl scout cookies all over San Diego, so instead of going door to door (didn't want anyone to get more than just cookies) we decided to buy cookies for the overseas troops. We counted a little over $15 worth of quarters (girl scout cookies cost $4 per box), so we purchased 4 boxes of cookies (we had to go to the local grocery store to make extra change).
It was a small thing to give for everything the U.S. Troops do for us and my daughter was so proud. She wrote a special note of thanks on her Operation Thin Mint postcard for the troops and told me how excited she was to be able to give some cookies to the people who were fighting the war in Iraq. Even though her gift was small, it made her heart feel big and she was happy.
Until tomorrow, God Bless America!
