Girl Scout Week 2008

Saturday we had a Girl Scout Pajama Party, Jazmine, Breanna, Dominique, Morrisa, Mackenzie, Katie, Morgan, & Katie's guest Moriah played Simon Says, Who's That Famous Person, had a high heeled race & a cookie eating contest (Breanna & Moriah won), had a pj fashion show, took a Girl Scout History Quiz, decorated a window at Ragan's Grocery, & earned our Manners Try-It by talking about respect for others, practicing our telephone & table manners, introductions, learning about manners in other countries, & making plans for a Mom & Me Tea. The girls voted to dress up for the party, & to have little sandwiches, Caramel Delites & other cookies, tea & lemonade for our party. The girls decided that Toot-Toots & Golden Corral were really fancy places to eat that would require their best manners.
from the Girl Scout History Quiz we learned that Juliette Low sold her pearls to raise money to start the first troop, the first Girl Scout was her niece, Daisy Gordon, to play basketball outdoors Girl Scouts had to draw curtains around the court so the public could not see their bloomers, & one requirement to earn the Girl Scout War Service Award in 1918 was to knit 2 pounds of wool for the Red Cross.
Sticking to tradition, we also told a circle story. Here goes:
deb: Once upon a time, it was Girl Scout Week.
Morrisa: It was cold outside when they went to the Girl Scout meeting.
Moriah: We were playing lots of games and having fun.
Katie: But then they heard something
Breanna: And it was haunted & there was a green witch that shot out red lava snot
Jazmine: And there was green snot on the grass & it hit Katie.
Dominique: And then there was a cheetah outside.
Mackenzie: Then there was a tree and it busted thru the window because it was alive.
Morgan: & then Hannah Montana came & she said, "Good golly, Miss Dolly."
Mackenzie: Then Katie's eye popped out.
Moriah: The witch's pet cheetah started to attack the Girl Scouts.
Katie: & then Breanna turned into a dragon & Mackenzie turned into an alligator.
Breanna: Since I was a dragon, I was going to poop on her.
Jazmine: There is a ghost who was trying to chase Breanna & eat her up.
Dominique: & then there was a vampire who sucked his blood.
Morgan: It was turning night time & Hannah Montana was wearing golden shoes & she was kidnapped by the witch!
Morrisa: And the Girl Scouts lived happily ever after.
THANK YOU to Nellie for letting us into the Community Building, & cleaning up afterwards!

On Sunday Katie, Kelsie, Kayla, Lindsay, Danielle, Rayne, & Nicole went to the Mercer Methodist Church for Girl Scout Sunday. They had fun singing on stage with Tristen West, Bob & Cathy Speck, & Boyd Miller!
Kelsie, Kayla, & Danielle went home with Katie for lunch, then Katie, Kayla, Kelsie, Lindsay, Nicole, Rayne, Mackenzie, Danielle, & Katie's guest Moriah went to the Stacy Center to join the Princeton Girl Scouts for a swimming party. The Stacy Center gave each girl a glow bracelet, some of the girls also received balloons!

All the cookies have been picked up from deb's house (THANK YOU!). Our next meeting will be the annual Easter Egg Hunt, hopefully in the next few weeks the mud will dry up...
