09/26/2003 Entry: "Yay for my girls!"
The first big news is that the girl's Brownie/Daisy exhibit won FIRST PLACE at the county fair!!!!! Our Troop Leader called to tell the girls and they were so excited and happy! All of the hard work paid off =o) Also, the awesome thing that happened is that someone put up netting over our exhibit. We don't know who did it but it was so very thoughtful and I have to think they will be blessed for helping us out that way!
We have been busy as usual. School is going fantastic...best ever! We have met so many new people in the last few weeks and are getting involved in helping set up a park day for everyone to get together.
Saturday we are going to the Biophilia (a nature center) to attend a "Caterpillar Circus Club" which is a club for learning about all the different kinds of caterpillars and to see all kinds of them in different forming stages and LOTS of newly hatched butterflies. We are so excited! We have been catching them for a few weeks now and three of ours have already went into their chrysalis. They are SO cool. We have one little furry fellow we are going to take with us to see if they can help us identify him.
My big project right now is to go through all of our clothes to get rid of things we don't wear. We still have a little bit before we have to start thinking about winter clothes, but all of our drawers are full and the kids have outgrown SO much this year. We are also selling POPCORN again. Anyone who is addicted to this stuff let me know and I'll sell you some of it lol B is a little more excited since he talked to our Pack Leader about the fact that he liked getting gift cards--and they weren't offering them this year--so they said that B could have WHATEVER he wanted for a prize =o) Now he's raring to go of course!
R is still learning letter sounds and actually is "reading" our little "BOB Books" that I used to teach B to read. She is doing SO well and is so excited to be learning. B asked when she would be ready to read the book he is reading and I told him not for a few years yet but that his confidence in her was precious. We went for a walk yesterday around the complex to check out the work they are doing. They had closed the pool by our house and I actually thought they weren't going to reopen because they are building a BRAND new one behind the office. We have 3 other pools but the one by my house was JUST so close and convienant. As it turns out they ARE replacing our pool with one that is HUGE!!!!!!! I couldn't believe how big it is. They have also been redoing the sidewalks...making them bigger and flattening them all out completely. The kids can't wait to ride their bikes on them. Of course one section we passed some kids had messed up the concrete. I was kinda irritated aobut it because now they will have to go back and cover it up or leave it alone and have it look ugly. I don't understand kids doing that and to tell you the truth I would be happy if they found out who did it and made THEM do the work to replace it. Thing is they didn't just mess up ONE square...they messed up about 15 of them. I wonder where their parents were and if they would even care about this. I am HAPPY about the changes they are making, everything already looks so nice and pretty and they are doing such a good job...it's a shame some people have to ruin it.
Well, I am going to go get busy...I hope you are all totally blessed!
