Make It A Good One

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.”-Mary Anne Radmacher

Our Weekend Looked Like This...

Lots and lots of Girl Scouts....

Cookies are in and they are all over our house!


Bug had a blast sorting everyone's order....she only dropped a couple boxes...:)


Grace's troop celebrated World Thinking Day...each girl was assigned a country and had to report a few facts...she had the Congo...she was proud of her little map...


Had a candle lighting ceremony in honor of our fellow Girl Scouts around the world...



Learned some new games...


Cute stuff...

I've been listening to this song a lot lately....

Some days..okay, weeks....oh, who am I kidding...months....I just need this....



(If need be, Google the lyrics...so worth it)

Night Off From Cooking

The girls made dinner last night. Yesss! They love these little mini pizzas and the great thing is they can do it all themselves....and they actually taste really good. :)

The cooks...


While cooking, Grace said "You aren't really cooking if it isn't messy"...yes, that is a belief passed on by her mom...I stand by it... :)


Into the oven...more cooking nights for the girls, I think...makes all of us happy...

Happy Valentine's Day

Grace certainly had a good one....

Meet Charlie....yep....her new crush....yep...that makes him number three....yep....no idea where she gets this boy crazy thing from....


Her valentines were quite secondary today....what with Charlie sitting right next to her and all.... ;)


....and yep....she cut part of her bangs off....again....

:)

We love us some Uncle Jay around here....

Well....

Grace says she's a vegetarian now...no more meat for this girl, it's disgusting....she's not eating any animals. :)

Good for her, I say.

Happy Birthday, Bean!

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite girls....well....ever.

She's 12 now!!!! Seriously....already?



The actual day was yesterday...we all went out to dinner to celebrate...




We sang to her...she was shy....:) One of my favorite Josie Bean expressions...


A week before, she had her family birthday party....yeah...a lot more crazy than birthday...







We Love You, Bean!!! Many more happy years. :)

It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it myself.~Joyce Maynard

Seriously...

...what is up with my girls today?

Hmmm...

...paper might have been a more appropriate choice...

And I Quote...

"I love you, babe"...Eme, to me this morning while changing her diaper.

Babe? Love it! :)
