A blog about Kyle and Rebecca's family
Girl Scout Cookies arrived this morning! Our troop was one of the first to pick them up this morning. I didn’t go this time because our troop cookie mom complained that we had too many people trying to help last year. That actually worked out though because when the service unit asked for some help at the warehouse I was able to volunteer, knowing my troops cookies were going to be taken care of. So I went and spent the whole morning counting cases of cookies at the warehouse. 🙂
This is the reason we drove through the night. So that we would for sure be back in time for the Blue and Gold. Jeremy didn’t receive any awards this time. But Kyle being the Webelos leader did have a boy receiving his Arrow of light and bridging to eleven year old scouts and we felt that it was important for Kyle to be here to support his scout in that.
The theme this year was “Where in the World”. So the invitations were on bits of map, and there were globes on the tables for decoration. Dinner was “walking tacos”, which was just chili with salad and chips and toppings. The leaders were the ones going around to serve the chili, so Kyle didn’t really get to sit with us much, but in general it was a good evening.
Dinah lost her first tooth! All of my children just keep growing up. Who said they can do that?
After we dropped Debby off, and got home, we unloaded the van and crashed in our beds for a bit. Driving through the night is nice because the kids sleep most of the time and therefore there are fewer potty stops, but it is HARD on us big people in the front that need to stay awake the whole time!
I came out to the kitchen after laying down a bit, and found that Minnie Mouse had been having a snack, and she wasn’t sharing.
Beef jerky in her mouth….candy wrappers….open bag of cookies….silly mouse! In all actuality Lydia was probably feeding Minnie and helping herself to snacks as well. 😛
We drove home through the night. We were still a couple of hours away from home when the sun started to peek over the mountains, and I saw the moon and venus up in the sky. We didn’t stop, but I decided to get my camera out and take some pictures anyway.
