Before....

Hey everyone! We started out this week thinking that we would be doing a couple dozen cookies for the CEW retreat at Lourdes and a few more dozen that we would bring to our beloved Ames residents this weekend when we go up for Emily's Mom's Weekend at AGD. Soon, however, we looked at our spread sheet, only to find that we already had about $70 worth of orders even before we got word from Benjamin and Em. Uh oh! What had we done? B said that he would make a list and spread the word about our cookies during his chapter meeting on Monday. I was working at good ol' Whitey's when I received the message of our doom. "16 M&M, 14 Chocolate Chip, 3 Toffee Bars, 9 Double Peanut Butter, 8 Snickerdoodle." I almost fainted when I saw this. God Bless the ATO Boys, though! We love them as our own and we are so appreciative that they were so willing to help us out. We added up the number of dozens(50) and the number of cookies (600!!!!) for the boys alone. Any bets on the number of hours it will take or how many sticks of butter we will use can placed in the comments below. We will be sure to share the results with you. Inserted is our "Before" picture. We will soon be starting the dough-making process and there will be no turning back! Stay tuned for our wild week as Cookies for the Cure hits the road!
