Daisy meeting

Well, today was the big day. T's first daisy girl scout meeting. She was very excited to wear her uniform to school today. She was less excited when we got to school, and only one girl in the other class had on her uniform.

However, once at the meeting and seeing everyone else dressed the same, she was VERY happy.
Unfortunately, today was another yellow light for taylor. Something about playing when she should have been listening. So, I've upped the ante so to speak. We're now unplugged for 2 nights, for the one violation.

Meanwhile, another flyer came out from her class re lice. T was clean as of a few days ago when she had her last treatment, so I'm busy putting products in her hair, to keep her from getting them again.


Tonight's scout meeting was at 6:15 in the Scout House. The Scout House is an odd, triangular building on the school's campus. Judging by the decor, this thing has been on the campus since the late 60's, at least. What a blast from the past!

However, since it was such a lovely, cool evening, the girls went outside for a portion of the meeting. There are 9 girls so far in the troop. I can't imagine more. You'll note T facing the wrong way. She and Olivia were quite distracted by a flock of birds that were flying around. Clearly, holding the attention of a bunch of 5 and 6 yr olds was a huge feat, and our leader did a great job. This was her first ever scout meeting as a leader, and she did a great job. I'd have killed a few of the kids, who apparently don't know how to listen or behave. Though T wasn't the worst, I put her squarely in that category!

I spent the morning at the mall, and the afternoon lazing around the house. It was a WONDERFUL holiday. This is my fav holiday, as its one of the few where T is in school and I'm off. FAB!

Hope you all had a great day, as well.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your "mom's play-date" holiday today. Oh so necessary from time to time.

I keep trying to inspire my Dahlia to join the Guides but she isn't interested. Nice to see your girl is off to a good start.

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
