It’s that time of year again — popcorn sales. I don’t really like it; the Boy doesn’t enjoy it; K puts up with it to help. But today, we took a two-hour shift with a friend at the booth in front of a local Cabella’s outdoor shop.

We shocked ourselves with what we sold: over $850 in sales and donations.

It was really a learning experience for the Boy: like me, he doesn’t like talking to strangers all that much, so to come out of that a bit and approach shoppers with the proposition of spending more money — I was proud of how well he did.

In the evening, we went to our favorite park for a walk.

And the Girl? She had a sleepover at a friend’s last night, came home in time for a late lunch, then headed to work.
