Tammi- Love Nicholas' football pic, he is such a handsome little man!
Elizabeth- I hope you can find some deals on all the pants/jeans you need to buy!! At least you get to shop!!
The Cookie sale went fine. I didn't make it home until after 8:30. I was chilled to the bone and headed directly upstairs to the warmth of my bed! I was there for an hour and a half by myself with 4 girls. We survive but the leader was not thrilled I didn't manage to keep an accurate tally count of the boxes sold.
Whatever, we sold 40 boxes the 1st half hour and one woman would not wait until we were set up, she had to have the cookies right then and there. And then I had a lovely conversation with a gentleman who proceeded to tell me that he was not able to buy the cookies as he is allergic to gluten. He felt the need to tell me all the wonderful side effects one gets when you are unable to digest gluten.
Really could have managed with out that last night.
We also are having issues with our leader and the way our girls our treated within the troop (our troop is made up of 4th graders, who are juniors and our 3rd graders, who are Brownies. We also have 1 1st grader that joined- we had decided to close the troop to outsiders but she attends the school we meet at so we had no choice but to accept her.) Anyway, the leader doesn't particularly want us there and really excludes us from the things she does and we are to the point that it is just been enough. We feel that we'd be better off branching out on our own but it will obviously bring a lot of drama and then the fact that our troop will have very little start up funds as the Cookie sale is just about over and that money would not transfer with the girls. Lots of decisions to be made. Thankfully, the 4 other parents that are in Emma's section are fabulous and everyone is willing to step up and get involved.
I am baking cupcakes for the Halloween party we are going to at 3 today! Thankfully they are pretty easy to decorate, I am turning them into pumpkins. No homemade icing though, I broke down and bought the tubs at the store.

. They swerved but still ending up hitting the front end of the Jeep into side of the other car. The other guy took all the blame. He was OK, as the only person to go to the ER was Chris. We just hope the other guy's insurance was pretty good. As the Jeep is basically totaled.
to you as you navigate through this
I am sorry the troop is in upheaval. Hopefully you guys will be able to split and the girls will be happy with the outcome!
