A lot has gone on!

I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post! Girl Scout cookies are over and Ally has started pitching machine ball. She is doing really good. Last year on her team she averaged one hit for the entire season during a game, this year she is averaging two points a game! She is doing really well! They are selling candy, cookie dough, and meet sticks and she didn't want to sell them because she just finished cookies, can't say that I blame her though.
John's mom was in the hospital for a few days. Everything is okay now, she has to change a few things, but she is feeling better. She got out the day before Mother's day. Mother's day John and the kids took me out to breakfast, then we went shopping and I got a set of Adirondack chairs with a table that I have been wanting for about three years, I haven't had a chance to sit in them yet but I will!
We have all been so busy around here. Yesterday I worked, then photographed a senior, came home for dinner, changed and went back into town for class, came home worked on the pictures and then tried to get some homework done. Ally, bless her heart wanted to help and she did a load of laundry. Small amount of clothes - entire lid full (large lid) of Woolite laundry soap. I am running it for the second time of just a water cycle to make sure all the soap is out!

Ally got her first patches!!

Monday night was Ally's Girl Scout meeting and they had all the cookie awards there and patches that the girls have earned in the last few months. Ally got a 1st Cookie Sales patch, a cookie participation patch, a 100+ patch, and a camp-in patch! She is also well on her way to earning her watering can patch, a Daisy only patch, and it really stoked!!
Once I get them sewn on (one is already, just need thread for the other three) I will get a picture up, she is so proud and I am too!

Gorgeous day

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day! Besides housework and homework I was able to putz around the outside! John got two tree's for our backyard and I can't wait until they blossom. He was told they are cherry tree's but didn't know if they were blossoms only or if they were fruit producing. Don't really care, either way I am going to have some gorgeous tree's. Nothing much has been going on around here, work, school, work, and house.
At the last Girl Scout meeting I had the Daisy's plant a little garden that is to grow with them as they grow. It has been two weeks and their plants are sprouting! Tonight's meeting I am going to be talking to them about recycling and how things around their home can be made into something useful. At work we use paper and we have very very strong cardboard centers, so I am going to give the girls those, with the plastic supports, to decorate and make a pen holder for their mom's for mother's day! I can't wait!

Girl Scout Sleepover!!

Last night Ally had her first Girl Scout Sleepover! She loved it. They worked on their Make-up badge and had a Mary Kay representative come over, the bonus was she was also some of the other young ladies teacher. They had a blast! After that the older girls worked on other badge requirements and the Daisy's had their nails and toes painted. This morning I picked up Ally and she was talking non-stop about what she did. How she fell asleep when some of the other girls were telling jokes and how she got up and was the first girl up.

I am sore!

This is the second week of school and stupidly I thought that I should take a intermediate conditioning class ( I have taken the beginning several years ago) and I have gone to the gym three times this week and man am I feeling the soreness. I am feeling strong but I am sore. It is funny, every time I move I want to wince. So much for knowing what muscles I have.
