Not a Kool-Aid stand?

You can win an autographed copy of their book. Will they ever stop pimping it?

[3 is enough]

I'm seeing coats and Uggs! Not a flip-flop in sight. Also, no evidence of JD or Josh and Co. Wow. FU, internets, indeed.

Joy-Anna really seems to enjoy their family-activity.. ;-)

She does look miserable, doesn't she?

[GeoBQn]

She looks positively riveted reading that picture book.

Aaaand they are making pretzels to shill for Auntie Annie's.

[ophelia]

YES!! I feel so so sorry for her. I'd really like to know how the older girls are treating her. Do they understand how she feels and try to make the situation easier or anything for her or if they are forcing her take the kool-aid and follow the party line. Poor girl!

[lilwriter85]

lol The Duggars are so generous to give one copy of their crappy book.

[GeoBQn]

I wonder how long their commitment to community service will last after the show is over and they have no fame to promote. They'll probably go from giving charity to demanding it for themselves.

[Visionoyahweh]

I see a camera in one of those pictures. That means they're still filming for the show. Hopefully we'll never see this visit, since the show should be cancled at the end of the month.

Is Josie wearing pants? She looked like a little boy.

My thoughts exactly.

[MaroonMandy]

At first I thought it was one of the little boys and I was shocked he was wearing a knitted flower hat!

This one would be perfect for a Sad Joy meme.

[Grace]

OMG...I work SO CLOSE to this. Should I go? I've never seen them in nature so I'm afraid I won't be as excited about the crazy if I actually do!

[gilora]

Grace --

Please GO!! We need a report from the field!

[GeoBQn]

You have until 5pm.

They also have a website to donate.

My thoughts exactly.

Ditto. The little girl's face in the background of the pic is great. She's giving Jim Bob the best look ever.

[Daenerys]

I think Josie is wearing a dress and it's ridden up under Jim Bob's arm.

She looks so big and gorgeous! Shouldn't she be walking by now though? She looks a bit big to be carted around everywhere without getting bored.

[FloraDoraDolly]

It looks like they got Jason's chipped teeth fixed.

Yes, those are her leggings. She does look just like a little version of Jason though.

She's been walking for awhile now, Michelle and Jill were kind enough to make sure the media got a video of her happily walking in a park after the story of the drama in Israel broke.

OK! I did it! My very first Duggars in the Wild sighting!

The Auntie Anne's Pretzals here is at an open-air mall. There were several little lemonade stands set up along the "streets" in front of the store. I walked up and looked around a bit and a lady gave me a giant (ilke maybe 4o5 5"x10") flier with the Duggar family picture on the front and, I just noticed. "Five things God wants you to know" on the back. I'll type it out at the end of the post for fun.

No snarking for the actual event. It's a legit thing to be fundraising for unless there are things about Alex's Lemonade Stands that I don't know about.

There was one camera guy and a boom operator there. The camera guy had some CRAZY hair going one and I totally wondered what the Duggars think of that. It was, like GIANT and all over the place. I'm not even sure how to explain it. JB and Michelle were doing an interview with someone but I'm not sure who it was. It seemed like maybe someone from the foundation but then they said something about writing a check so maybe not.

There weren't alot of people there but it was more crowded than it would normally be on a cold day. But there was a cop there. Not sure if it was for the money being collected, if it was the mall cop or if the Duggars now have "muscle" to protect the kids from crazies.

Items of note:

--The girls all had on appropriate footwear. Actually they were all wearing boots and they were all really cute boots.

--I saw no "howler monkey" behavior. The boys and JoHannah were really cute little sales people trying to get people to buy some lemonade. One of the boys was wearing a lemonade cup tied around his head with a balloon ribbon like a party hat. It gave me a giggle.

--The grandbabies and the little girls under Hannie were in the bus. It's pretty cold today so that's good. I started to say "Why bring them along" but with all the big girls helping with the fundraiser what else would they have done with them?

So that was my very first Duggar sighting! And here is the flier copy:

Five things God wants you to know

1. God loves you nad has a plan for your life! (followed by John 3:16)

2. You are a sinner. (Romans 3:23)

3. Where your sin came from (Romans 5:12)

4. God's price for your sin (Romans 6:23)

5. Your way out (Romans 10:13)

Will you call upon the name of the Lord Jesus now, and ask Him to Save You and Give Him the "Steering Wheel" of your life?

[GeoBQn]

Dear Lord, is that obnoxious to hand out at an event for a religiously-neutral organization. And this flier had their picture on the front? I wonder if it's like a large version of the postcard they hand out to people.

[emmiedahl]

Thanks. Now I will be humming "Jesus Take the Wheel" for the next week.

I like the 11th picture, of the girl in the background giving Jim Boob a look like what are you talking about.
