Busy Busy

This past week was crazy busy. Early in the week, Abe and I had several interviews. Keeping our fingers crossed that we get good news on Monday! 

We had gymnastics on Tuesday. Abe ended up taking her while I went to a Girl Scout Leaders' meeting. Cookie sales start up in our area on Feb 13th and I am our troops Cookie Coordinator aka "cookie mom". I think I have officially gone insane. This is a huge job but I have some great help so hopefully it will run smoothly. 

Thursday was another busy day. Dance & a girl scout meeting. While the girls were in their meeting, I held a parent meeting to provide info for the cookie sales. We have 14 girls, so there was a lot of paperwork to keep track of. 

In Girl Scouts, Paige's Daisy troop is working on earning their first Journey Award. I don't know all of the specifics but it involves learning about animals and how we can care for and protect them. They worked on a patch called the Birdbath award - they learned that they can care for themselves just as they do their animals. 

Last night (Friday) was PTO Movie Night. The rest of the PTO and I have been working on this since early December. The kids voted between 3 movies...Mr. Peabody and Sherman, The Lego Movie, and How to Train Your Dragons 2. The Lego Movie ended up winning. Figures - that is the only movie out of the 3 that we have seen...haha! Paige was happy though as that is what she voted for. We asked that families bring in donations for our local food pantry and we provided bottled water and chips for snacks. It was a success! We had approximately 120 people there. We went to the food pantry this morning and dropped off the donations. We had 118 items plus $12 in donations. We also had 4 trash bags full of clothing donations for our local Kloset - they provide clothing items for low income families in our area. 

We have NOTHING going on this weekend and it is so awesome! That rarely happens. I think Paige was even ready for some quiet days at home because she chose not to go to Open Gym at her gymnastics club this morning. We don't have another Saturday off for another month. I'm exhausted thinking about it. 

Hope all is well with everyone!
