Thinking Day

A few weeks ago, Erika's Girl Scout troop participated in Girl Scout Thinking Day.  The idea behind the celebration is to research Girl Scout troops from different countries and share with local troops.  It was really neat to see so many ways Girl Scouts is celebrated throughout the world.  Erika's troop was assigned Hong Kong and they had a really fun time learning about Chinese customs like using chopsticks, making paper lanterns, and playing various games. 

 

Laurel came with us and enjoyed eating treats representing other countries.

Weekend Update

The sun peeked out on Thursday so we hurried into shoes and jackets and headed to the park to enjoy it!

 

 

I am a sucker for anything Disney princess.  As are the girls.  So, when I saw these princess bed tents on sale for 75% off, I was sold!  The girls each got one and spent most of Friday playing in them.  And even sleeping together in Laurel's twin bed and the princess tent.

 

 

 

Sarah and I are training for a half marathon in mid-May and Friday night was our first training run together.  My mom watched the kids while we ran and then we all had dinner together.  They really love being at Grandma's house.....which probably has something to do with her candy drawer that they are all tall enough to reach.  Here are some adorable pictures of Levi stretching with Aunt Sarah.
