The first few days of school slipped by and then we were into that three day weekend. We didn't do too much. On Saturday morning I took the girls to the roller-skating rink to meet up with some other girls from our Daisy/Brownie Girl Scout troop.
Monday was my birthday and we spent the rainy day laying around and I finished a book. It is has been so long since I finished a book for my book club. Mike made me Eggs Benedict from scratch for my birthday breakfast! He is so talented! We went out to Asian1 for dinner. I love eating out and this was a tasty place.
The rest of the week was just full with school and me trying to catch up on life. I can't even remember what I did all week. My life is full of grocery shopping, returning stuff we didn't need for school, helping some ladies prepare for a Proverbs 31 University breakfast, going to meetings, and preparing for Girl Scouts.
On Wednesday we went to Children's for an appointment with the ACCESS Survivor program just to get Kelby's regular check up. All looks well and we won't have to do that again for another year!
That night we took Kelby to the band meeting. This was were she found out about the program and got to try some different instruments. All summer she said she wanted to play the flute, then that night she changed to clarinet. She can get nice sound of it and the flute was harder. It was also heavier to hold out with those little arms.
We only had until the next Monday to get her an instrument, so I found one to rent the next day. We'd like to buy one, but they are pretty pricey. The one we have could be rented to own. At least this way we have time to make sure she really likes it. I think she will. She is very excited.
It is going to be a challenge to get all the work done that she has now. I've told her she'll probably have less time to play now. She's okay with that. I think this is really going to be a growing-up year.
On Friday night we had the older Junior/Cadette Girl Scouts over for a sleepover. That helped us kick off our year. It was so much fun. We had make-your-own mini-pizzas for dinner and made little backpacks out of old t-shirts. Then we had a campfire and s'mores, then went to sleep outside in a tent. I slept out with them, but I had an air mattress and slept really good this time.
Making Dinner
In the morning we had pancakes and sausage for breakfast and then did a couple more crafts. Then they went home about 11:30. I enjoyed it so much. There are only 7 big girls, so it is a very manageable and fun number. This is going to be a great year for Girl Scouts!
Making Breakfast
On Sunday we went to church, then over to Debbie and George's for hotdogs, corn, and football! That was nice to see everyone we don't get to see as much now that we are going to a different church.
We are on to a new week and we'll see how this new band routine works out. Kelby's going to have to get up and get ready quick now. She has to be at the Middle School at 7:40 pm. Apparently that is the way it will be next year every day. I also found out that they’ll have no bus in middle school or high school, so she’ll have to walk or ride her bike. Yikes!
