Festivities

It has been a busy couple of days. Juliet Gordon Lowe (founder of Girl Scouts) had a birthday yesterday so our Girl Scout service unit had a birthday party for her. It consisted of all different sorts of fun. My favorite was the donut on a rope. The girls have to put their hand behind their back and then try to get the donut off the rope that's dangling in front of them. It is hilarious. They bobbed for apples and did Cindy Loo Hoo hair. They made goo and participated in costume contests (Kyleigh won 3rd prize for the Brownies) and made gross goodies (Alison won 1st place for the cadettes). A good time was had by all.

Then, we went to Hebron's fall festival. Alison jumped until her heart was content and Kyleigh played ring toss, bean bag throw, and various other carnival games. We had free hot dogs, popcorn and drinks which was nice and we got to spend some time with Papa.

Finally, tonight we went trick or treating. The girls had a wonderful time. I can't believe what a difference it is with Kyleigh and her chair. Last year at this time, Kyleigh drove her chair on her own to about 4 or 5 houses before she was done. Tonight, she drove the entire way. She was tiring out at the end, but she did so well. Alison was better behaved because she didn't have to spend her whole night waiting on Kyleigh so that was nice. Everyone commented on their costumes. Alison was a stingray and her costume was hand made by dad. It was amazing. Kyleigh was boo mama.

This week, the girls only have a four day school week because of the election on Tuesday when they will miss school.

I will be traveling to Maryland with my job for a few days to see another consultant at work.

All seems to be going fairly well.
