granted, I was not feeling well when I did the cookie deposit...I turned in the cash to the bank, I was off on it, then they left a message on the machine that they had counted wrong as well & adjusted my deposit.
Sara called today from Princeton, I had done the paperwork correctly, but didn't write a big enough check out of our account to pay the council. When I did the checkbook, of course she was right. good thing I'm not a bank teller, huh?
made plans to give her the check Monday nite while she is at a Cub Scout swimming party at the Stacy Pool & I'm running Katie to the Mercer Lodge for dance class...
alls well that ends well, I guess...
our troop earns 53 cents a box.
started a new Girl Scout scrapbook today with a journal my sister Lisa made for me...revamping one of my old etc. journals...various Girl Scout interest items, vintage pics, famous girls joining, etc.

mailed a postcard
from our troop to the Tawny Owl 2nd Ellon Brownies, a group of 22 Brownies from a town just north of Aberdeen in the North Eats of Scotland.
thanks!
to all the moms & dads & grandmas & grandpas & aunts & uncles & neigbors & friends who helped the girls sell, deliver, & collect money for the cookie sale.
I know how hard it is to find time to get all this done, and then turn in the money.
all our girls have busy lives....elementary basketball, 4-H, dance classes, older brothers & sisters sports & school events to go to...and their parents have jobs & other obligations, but we always get it done!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
and before you know it, it'll be the Spring Product Sale (formerly known as the Fall Product Sale) & we'll be doing it all over again!
our troop profit for this cookie sale was $648.72. we spent $213.95 buying each girl a vest.
We will also order each girl troop numbers & a Cardinal Crest for their vests. It will give them a place for their many badges, plus they will look good wearing them for Awards, etc. And I think they've earned it.

A veteran Princeton Girl Scout leader mom Keri recommended buying the girl's vests a size larger than they needed, both for them to grow into, & since that gave them more room for badges...the vests were a major chunk of change (they had all risen a dollar in price since I'd decided that we should buy them for the girls...) but they all have full sashes, & the vests will look really good at the Awards Ceremony, & the girls raise the money, we should spend it on them!
when I was in scouts years ago, on the sign up nite, parents would bring outgrown/un- needed scout uniforms to sell there, which was how I always got mine. you wore official uniforms to meetings & events. that was back in the days of dresses, beanies, & the knee socks with tassels.

Lindsay's Flat Stacie finally comes home!
She arrived today from Troop 9315 in Crosby, Texas.
there were no pictures & 1 page of handwriting.
"Hi. I'm Maegan I'm 10 and in the fifth grade. I'm in 4-h and love animals. We went to a birthday party for Juliette Low (founder of girl scouts.) We got to wear our Halloween costumes. I'm Professor Mugman (from Harry Potter.)
my two dogs Winnie & Hershey will only dress up Halloween. My favorite song is Love Story by Taylor Swift, she is my role model. She is very talented. Oh My gosh I just found out I'm top seller. I got a giant dog. I named him Scruffy. I have a little sister Riley. My mom is Clarissa and my daddy's name is Rex. My flat stacie went to Iraq where there is lots of war. I hope you'll enjoy the days in my life."

January Meeting.
Dominique, Morrisa, Kayla, Katie, Moriah, Kelsie, & Mackenzie gathered for a meeting with special guests Kylie & Jessica. The Brownies earned MY BODY & WORK IT OUT. The Juniors earned STRESS LESS & THE CHOICE IS YOURS. The Cadette earned 2 Studio2B charms, LIFE DON'T SWEAT IT & LOOKING IN REACHING OUT.
Ms. Deb gave each girl a plush snake & cookie fun patch as cookie prizes from our troop. Mackenzie rec'd the Brownie Journey's Necklace for being a top 3 seller. The other top sellers weren't here today.
Kayla got her Journey's book & Xmas gift bag.
we did the Girl Scout Law in a circle, the Girl Scout Promise. All girls know both of these!!!
we passed around the postcard we rec'd from Ohio, gave the girls their pen pal xmas cards & jingle bells.
Kelsie took Carly Cardinal home.
We made a 'friendship' book about what we like about Lindsay.
the girls signed a group Missouri postcard to send to our Texas penpal troop & individual Missouri postcards to send to our penpal group in NY.
each girl got a Stress Less Journal.
the girls thought of decisions they might be making in ten years...buying cars, college, swimming, getting married, driving, graduating college, getting out of school, having fun, getting a cell phone, having a baby, paying bills, going on dates, moving out of Mom & Dad's house...
we did some role playing about tough choices.
we did a take turns story.
"Once upon a time there was a girl who had a problem...
Kayla: her problem was that her homework was not done & it was time to go to bed.
Dominique: she wanted to stay up and do it.
Morrisa: then her parents would say no and she'd go to bed.
Kelsie: and then in the morning when her parents were up and going around while she did it.
Mackenzie: when she went to school she got all the questions wrong.
Moriah: so to explain to her teacher why every question was wrong she told her teacher that her parents would not let her do her homework because it was too late.
Katie: the teacher said yeah right and you should've just done your homework under the blanket with a flashlight.
Jessie: she's going to do her homework the next time as soon as she gets home!"
what would the girls put in a 'stress less kit'?
Jessica: my big stuffed dog
Katie: stuffed animals, song book, pictures of friends
Moriah: songbook, cds
Mackenzie: didn't know
Kelsie: type & listen to music
Dominique: picture of Pooh & a cat
Morrisa: fave stuffed animal
Kayla: stuffed pink talking cat, shaped heart, fave cd.
we did elevator breathing, a listening activity, negotiated, talked about problems girls their age might have & possible solutions, talked about dreams, did face, eye, & arm exercises, & the girls favorite activity: the balloon stress game.
we finished up by making magic scratch pins which seemed to be a hit, & having a healthy snack: cold water, pineapple chunks, cheese cubes, & apple slices.
Katie planned this meeting, everyone seemed to have fun & they were busy! Good Job, Katie!!!

So, did an online order for a Brownie Journey's Keepsake necklace for Cortney, may have to wait & give the gifts later if hers doesn't arrive by Saturday for the next meeting...I thought I was really on top of things, for once...
