Brownies

Well Madison has decided she wanted to join Brownies....  She has a couple of girls in her class that have joined and she thought it would be fun....  So we have joined and she is loving it. 

Her first meeting was Friday, Nov. 11th and they are working on a cooking badge and they made cookies and decorated them and made a picture with food and then got to eat their creations.  They were talking about different badges they wanted to earn and fun things they want to do this year.

Sunday we drove to Cookeville and went to Tennessee Tech and meet with a sorority that was celebrating National Girls Day for Girl Scouts and they had fun activities planned for the girls.  They played games, sang songs, colored pictures and watched the sorority put on a play for them about how wonderful books are especially when you can't go everywhere, but you can read books about all kinds of places and learn about lots of things.  They had snacks and treats for the girls and was very sweet to all the Girl Scouts!  Here are a few pictures of their day at Tennessee Tech.

They had tables set up with all kinds of activities for the girls!

Madison ready to have some fun!

Some of the activities "Girl Worlds"

 

 They had to name different people in each quadrant for each purpose.

GS - they named people in the Girls Scouts group.

There was a school house and they listed friends in class with them.

They listed family members in one quadrant.

This was all the Girl Scouts that came from all over and the Sorority.

Fall Break

We have been on Fall break this week and just relaxing at home.  We did our 6 month teeth cleaning with the kids on Tuesday and I had them look at Madison's bottom teeth and she had one growing behind her baby teeth.  We went back on Wednesday and had two baby teeth pulled.  It didn't take too long and Madison is up and going and eating anything she can get her hands on.  We will be heading to the Oktober Fest in Hohenwald for the Annual Car Show and Craft Fair.  I will have some pictures to share later in the weekend.
