Catch Up

Hi troop!
I am way behind on our blog and we have done lots of interesting things :) We had an awesome book club/ sleepover party. We ate our fill of cheesy snacks, had a private observatory showing, danced to High School Musical, and watched an Angelina Ballerina movie.
Rainy's mom made us this very exciting (and delicious) cheese mouse :)
The answer to Dr. Marksworth question about what a comet is? One of Santa's Reindeer of course!
What's a party without getting to dress for the occasion?
Even Angelina's friend Alice was asked to dance!
Movies & Cheesy Snacks :)
Late nights do not equal sleeping in.


A couple of weeks ago, Ms. Trina pumped all the girls up about cookie sales. I don't think anyone set a goal for less than 150 boxes! Good Luck girls (and parents).
We earned our cookies count try it.
Just a short brag for Miriam :) She sold 236 boxes of cookies in 4 days! Let me know how close you are to meeting your goal.


Last week we celebrated some birthdays, played some games and weaved paper. Happy birthday Rainy, Mallory, Madison & Vauna! We earned our Playing Around the World Try it.
Whew...we should be caught up now!!
