Candy Sales in full swing

the rain has really hit us here in so cal and i am LOVING it! bring it on!! we spent most of the weekend out selling candy, still have a lot left so please let me know if you want some!











so this year i have been surprised at how many people either 1) totally ignore the kids (no eye contact) 2) actually glare at the kids or 3) look at the kids as they walk by but don't respond. believe me, kids drive me totally nuts and i understand people don't always want to buy some candy BUT when you see kids in uniform, clearly a part of an organization and bravely asking perfect strangers to help support them, the least you can do is say, "no thank you" geez! alright, enough of that... we are enjoying the rain and working on emily's 4th grade social studies project (a model of the los cerritos wetlands completely and gloriously restored!!) 4 more weeks of candy sales yet to come plus a visit to the mountains and our local so cal island.
