Princess Pudding Yummmmm!!!!

"Kiss the Frog" game The girl's loved it! and scored some lipstick too
Just some of the table decorations. That is Brooke in the background. I have to get permission to post the other pics b/c they include the other girls. Sorry

My hubby & the kids enjoyed "Earth Day" at the Zoo yesterday. Brooke & Ashley played the Safari Game and earned the Earth day Patch. I have included a picture of it and the pin Brooke made. They had a blast!!! Jarrett was a little intimidated by the amount of perople so he stayed in his stroller and just took in the sites. His favorite animal was the hippo, which suprised me b/c last time it scared him when it opened his mouth and made noise. Brooke got to feed the giraffe and the worker kept saying over and over to her "Go Wash your hands". My hubby commented on that. I told my nonmedical hubby about animals can spread ecoli and kids can die from it. I made sure to tell him about that so he will be ure they wash there hands next time. I don't think he made her b/c he didn't see the importance. To him she just feed the giraffe a cracker and that isn't a messy thing. When I got home last night from date night with my hubby I asked Jarrett about the Zoo and what animals he saw. He gets kind of annoyed at my questions, but that is practically the only way to have a conversation with a 3 yr old. When I asked him what kind of animals he saw he said "Zoo animals Mommm" in an annoyed tone. He doesn't call me Mommy or Momma he calls me Mom which sounds so cute. He does call my hubby Daddy, Ashley Ashee, and Brooke Brookie.

As for future girl scout plans I'm not sure what we are doing as a troop meeting this upcoming month. I wanted to plan a day at the camp day with an older troop, but ball season is posing to be a problem with that. Our older girl troop wants to wait until Sept or Oct for that.
