The girl's made friendship swaps, flowers, and bracelets while earning the "Friends R Fun" Try-It. In February. We have a great little group of girls. They have really bonded even though they don't all go to the same school. I thought that was going to be a problem, but they don't even notice.

Here is where we made our troop Tye-Dye T-shirts. Ashley's older girl troop helped us with this and where a biggggggg help. Thanks!!!!!

Final Girl Scout note of the day. We had to postone the Mother's night out. We will all meet together at probably OUR troop family skate night at Skatetown and plan next years activities and snacks.

Now on a family note. Yes I did give Ashley back her cheer at Powerhouse and am glad I did it. She is still being punished in other ways. Like she can only watch TV with the family and not what she wants to watch. (Which is CNN allllllll dayyyyyyy at my grandparents house while she is out of school. If you'd like to know when a certain states electorial election date is just ask Ash. she knows now.)

On a Brooke note her recital is this Saturday @ 2:00 and yes Dana we'll be there and we'll super excited to be able to watch Sarah too... Brooke has a dumdumdum..... tights & hair change this year. Ughhhhhh!!!!! Even though we are paying sitters to watch them backstage I always go back there and dress her & change her hair myself. I also take the costume she is finished wearing and shoes with me in a bag so they won't get lost while she plays. I have been doing this dance thing for about 10 years now. Ashley took for about 6 years and quit and Brooke has been taking about 3 or 4 years. I'm just excited not to have to miss work this year for rehearsals. Yeahhhhh!!! To be honest I guess I'm either a bad mom or a busy one. I haven't even looked at her costumes yet. I will sometime between today and rehearsals on Wed. I'm pretty sure I have to sew some things with them.

On a Jarrett note. I wish I had a picture of what he wore to his preK program Friday night. I guess if mom doesn't do it then it doesn't get done is the motto I should stick with. I had the Girl Scout thing that got canceled Friday evening so I told hubby to go video Jarrett's program for me. I forgot to tell him to pack some clothes to change into b/c kids of course get daycare clothes dirty during the day. I remembered after I picked him up from school (daycare) and saw his clothes. I was enroute to my fav store Target when my hubby called and to my suprise said he had packed an extra set of clothes. I remember thinking "Wow, maybe I don't give him enough credit where the kids are concerned". We'll we proceeded to all meet up and eat at Chilie Verde by his school which made his clothes even worse of course. When we arrived at his school my hubby pulls out an even worse set of daycare clothes for me to change him into. Out of all of the nice clothes he rarely gets to wear except on Sundays mainly he chose another what I call "daycare set" (which means if they get stained or dirty or torn who cares). Most of the daycare sets are already stained or dingy looking from him playing hard outside everyday at school. Needless to say our child was the only dirty looking child in the program. Everyone else had on church clothes and looked really nice. That's ok. He was the only boy in his class so I'm pretty sure he didn't have to do much to impress his classmates since he didn't have an competion. HaHa.

We'll my brother Ryan is coming in town this upcoming weekend from Tennessee so maybe I can get a few great pictures with him and the kids. I kind of use my children to prevent him from having kids right now. So far it is working for him and my little sister which is getting married in August. Just kidding. My kids are great...... seperately......... I'm sure all siblings are like that. I know me and my brother were.

We'll goodbye for now. I better go get my you better behave speech prepared for the dance recital practice today.
