Brownie Fun!

Princess and I headed out around 5:00 for the Big Brownie Camping Trip. It was a fun time but there was absolutely no down time. I was wiped out by the time we got home Sunday. Princess had fun! The boys had a good weekend too. They pitched the tent on our porch and slept outside on Saturday night. They got a little taste of camping too!

Saturday Night Faux Campout!

Princess is in Brownies, and I must say she has outstanding leaders! They each have a 1st grade daughter and started this troop last year when they were Kindergarten Daisies.

Saturday from 3:00PM until 8:00PM they had a faux camp out! The girls did everything but sleep in the tent overnight. It brought back so many fun memories for me. I was a girl scout from 1st grade until 9th grade.

Princess is a Brownie!

Princess went from being a Daisy girlscout to being a Brownie yesterday afternoon. Her troop as 11 girls in it and everyone is very nice. The girls walked over a bridge and voila! they were promoted! Here are some pictures from the celebration!

The pictures are in reverse order. If I have time later I will fix them! Otherwise, start from the bottom and work up! Ha ha!

Busy Tuesday!

Today is going to be a busy day! Here is what I have to get done today:

1. Make a meal for a MOPS friend who is having jaw surgery. I am making a chicken pot pie, salad, and chocolate cupcakes. This gal will not be able to chew for 3 months so I had to make her something with chocolate in it. She goes in for surgery tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM. Any and all prayers would be appreciated!
2. Deliver this meal. I have directions, but I am not familiar with the area. It is always an adventure when I try to find a new address.
3. Get the boys to an early nap so we can attend Princess's Bridging into Brownies ceremony at a park. (Also a new place that I will have to find - yikes!)
4. I am making 2 Chicken Pot Pies so all we will have to do is throw the Pot Pie into the oven after we get home from Princess's ceremony.
5. Write the class newsletter for Princess's class and print 7 hard copies for those in the class who do not like to receive it via email.
6. Homework with Princess - this is another post. I cannot believe how much homework she has every night! I am all for practicing reading but wow! We had about an hour and a half of homework last night.
7. Have the house picked up because our nights just seem to go better when everything is in place.

That's it! I won't make it to Lifetime Fitness but that is OK. I will go tomorrow and Thursday. I do have hopes of making it to Lifetime Fitness 4 times one of these weeks.
