Luckily, we have a three-day weekend and a chance to catch up on things around here.
Everyone is working to get back on schedule since the Christmas break. With the cold temperatures, currently 18 degrees, waking up has been difficult for everyone in the morning - our beds are just so comfy!
Since 2009 has begun, a few new events have taken place: Hannah has been signed up for the Daisy Scouts and had her first meeting on Thursday night. The troop meets once a month in our neighborhood clubhouse. There are 13 girls, all kindergarteners from Hannah's school, Holly Springs Elementary. Luckily, she recognized several of the girls from school and seemed to really enjoy it. It was so fun watching her and the troop do things that I remember from when I was a little girl:
- the girl scout promise
- being a flag bearer
- the squeeze circle
- the badges
- and of course, the cookies!
Bonnie and Ally came with us and I couldn't help but feel like the girl scouts are just like me and my friends just 25 years later - you know, good friends, fun crafts, etc. If I do not look too crazy, I will take pictures next time to share.
Hayden has a big season coming up as well. He is signed up for T-ball with the local Dizzy Dean teams. They start the kids at 3 years old, which should be chaotic and fun! Hayden is very excited and has been practicing with daddy during the day (with soft materials since it is 18 degrees outside). Of course, there is always the Wii Sports package, which Hayden has become very attached to, to practice his skills as well.
