This is my first blog ever so please bare with me I learn the ropes. I am putting together this blog so my girl scouts and their parents can have a lasting memory of all of our fun memories together. And also so they can get to know me a little better. I always feel so rushed at our meetings and don't really get to talk very much to the majority of the parents. Plus I feel that they need to get to know me so someday we can have a Girl Scout sleepover at my house. I would want to know the person taking care of my children so I am trying to make it easier on you all. I just love children. I would have had more, but my health and other issues made me stop at 3 so I get my children fix by hanging out with my children's friends and the Girl Scouts. I also at one time wanted to be a teacher so by being a Girl Scout leader is how I accomplish that in my eyes and heart. I will have to get permission before I write any of my Girl Scout's names on here or post pictures of them from each parent. Until them I will try to invent funny nicknames if I want to talk about a Girl Scout event that was a blast. So here we go>>>>>

Right now the Girl Scout office has just got started with everyone in their new job position and the fun begins!!!! I have a new "News Letter" that has tins of fun things planned. I will list the calendar below this post for any of my Girl's that want to know about any fun things coming up. You can email, call me, or post a question if you see anything you want to know more info about. I am having a blast planning our "Princess Party". I won't spill any details until after the party so the girls can be really suprised. Girl's be checking your mail boxes next week for your formal invitations. They are soooooooo cute. Let's just say there will be Frogs, Fancy food, jewels, lipstick, and lots more. Be sure to wear your fanciest dress or a dress up costume. Whichever you prefer. Brooke is wearing her Blue Cinderella costume with a dress up crown and some gloves she got from McDonald's in the Happy Meal last week that matches. I can't wait to take lots of pics. I scrapbook and have been waiting impatiently to use my Disney Princess paper and embelishments. HaHa. If you could see my scrapbook room you'd laugh. I can't even find the table right now. I hope to have time in the near future to clean it and organize it again. Also in the Girl Scout world I have been nominated as one of the Service Unit Leader's from my area. I will share this load with a friend. We will be heading up the service unit meetings and plan events just for our girl's in our immediate area. I am in the process of planning a skating party for either May or June. I want to award our girl's for their hard work selling cookies and give them something to look forward to next year as they set a goal and achieve it and be rewarded for it by their peers. I love cutesy (spp?) stuff so I can't wait to make cute name tags with colorful fringe around it saying how many cookies they sold so the girl's can be proud of their hard work. Last year my oldest daughter sold a little over 900 boxes and my middle child sold around 300 boxes. That means I had to deliver 1200 boxes myself along with head up several booth sales and I was also troop cookie mom and had to keep up with all of the troop's cookies and money. That to me was a job I would want my girl's to be honored for. I don't want to be honored I want to see their eyes shine as they are acknowledged. I love seeing them proud of themselves. Brooke gets that sparkle in her eye and can't get the smile off her face. It is sooooo cute. Ashley is at the age where she acts embarrassed, but you know inside she is loving it. Well I better go for now. Talk to Ya Later. Brandi
