Who can resist??

This cute Brownie selling cookies outside of the local Vons on a rainy Sunday afternoon?? Um, only lame rude people, I guess. Didn't dissuade our Jbird.. She was a stellar salesperson shouting after those weirdos who ignored her "THANKS!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!"

I hope this doesn't mean she'll be ringing the Salvation Army bell at Christmas.. I'm thinking chanelling that energy into making millions selling ... whatever her little heart desires... right now, her long term goal is working at an ice cream shop.. and she keeps telling everyone "My dad got fired by giving away free scoops, so you can come visit me, but I can't give you anything for free"

Not just a spectator anymore...

The San Marcos Christmas Parade = Jadyn's first parade in which she marched with her Brownie troop. Backstory= their troop theme (which was wildly popular with the crowd) was "recycling", thus the homemade hats. It was a gorgeous day for a parade, however, I don't think any of us realized the dark underbelly of parade prep.. meaning we were standing around in the college parking lot waiting to GO for HOURS before hand. It was greuling... don't even get me started on the town and the crowd of San Marcos... suffice to say, these girls should earn their "multicultural" patch for marching through the barrio...Although we live in a cozy little new suburb, we are technically in the town of San Maros, although we usually don't cross the tracks (awful as that sounds) ...and those taco shops were torturous to us hungry mommmas marching alongside, waving, and shouting "Feliz Navidad".
