IPlay America trip

Daddy took the kids to iPlay America yesterday with the girl scouts.  I was very lucky to have a few hours to myself.  I did nothing but try and catch up on some sleep.  We had some friends that had gone when they had first opened and they said it was so expensive.  We got a great deal through Nicole's GS troop, I couldn't turn it down.  I figured it would be the only time they get to go.  The kids love the go karts.  Daddy's favorite was the laser tag.  Of course I really enjoyed my sleep.

Early Mornings

I'm back to working the early morning shift again.  I just comfy and started sleeping in until 5  now they changed my schedule around again for the holidays.  Today I went in at 3am. Its now 3pm and I'm ready to crash.  I still have to get everything set up for tomorrow morning. Make the kids lunch and stuff.  Maybe I could take a nap??  Not yet!  Ed says we have to give the dog a bath.  Yippee

Cub Scouts visit Marlboro Fire House

 We got to follow Michael's cub scouts to tour the Marlboro Fire House today.  The kids had a blast.  They loved climbing in the trucks and getting to touch everything, well except the vintage truck.

 

Then they finished the trip with some pizza.

Helping the Girls Scouts make Ornaments for our towns Christmas tree

Just having some fun!

 Our troop was asked to make the ornaments for out down town Christmas tree.  We came up with the idea of making them out of recycled materials.  They wanted 450 ornaments but we had only gotten 250 finished.  The tree lighting is Dec 1st and the girls were asked to be there to have their picture taken by the tree with Santa.

Cub Scouts Go to Allaire State Park

Girl Scouts learn about animals

Guess what more crafts....  The Daisies got together to work on a badge.  I can tell you had had something to do with animals.  They made bird feeders and animal puppets.  They also talked about taking care of animals.

I can't believe how fast the kids are growing

Since the weather has changed I pulled out the kids fall/ winter clothes.  I really can't believe how much they have grown since last year.  I'm guessing I have to hit the store for some basics to get by.  I put a pair of Michaels pants on him this morning and they fit in the waist but were 2-3 inches to short.  I'm wondering if I should hold onto them and cut them into shorts for next year. 
Nicole on the other hand, just doesn't fit into anything anymore. 
Michael got his cub scout uniform yesterday and Nicole's is on order. 
Scouts are starting to fill in all our spare time.  Not that we had much to begin with.  They seem to be enjoying it. 
Nicole is star person for school next week.  I am suppose to go in and do a craft with the class on Monday.  Nicole chose to teach the class how to do, I can sing a rainbow in sign language.  No pressure right.  She learnt how to do the colors in sign language at her last Girl Scout meeting.  I was just sort of there not paying attention to the signs.  Thank you youtube for saving me once again!
