I can not believe that it is almost Halloween time! Around here there is a huge high school football game happening on Halloween so everyone has moved up their parades and activities a week, which means I am running out of time!
This year the girls wanted to be super heros, but we just couldn't get a good idea beyond that. Then I was looking over my finances and the calendar and I haven't even done my kids costumes yet, let alone make a second costume.
What could be do??? Well it is Breast Cancer Awareness month. JGL did die from breast cancer. What if we did a pink out?
The girls went nuts! They love pink! Plus it is something they all have in their drawers.
Ok so we are going to all wear pink....What if we are Breast Cancer Awareness super heros? We can make pink capes!
I thought that we could purchase either pink felt or pink fleece relatively cheaply. Boy was I wrong. Felt was 3$ a yard and fleece was 6$! But before I turned down the fabric aisle, I saw fleece blankets for 3$. There would be enough fabric to do 4 capes.
They all have a basic fleece (no sewing) cape that they have to decorate this week.
A mom asked at the hospital for some of those paper ribbon cards. The ones they ask you for a dollar for at the grocery store and then you right someone's name on it. I split them up and handed them out to the girls. They all have different ideas on that they want to do with them. I just told them that it needs to be done by Tuesday.
I can not wait to see what they come up with.
They have a little skit planned out and they are going to recite the promise this year. Think that voice in the old school super hero comic shows. "Meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice". They are going to do it all powerful like that.
SCRIBE BADGE- PART 2
After we got Halloween out of the way, we worked on our scribe badge. The girls had interviewed 3 troops but they did not get a chance to do our troop. Four girls, Four Troops, perfect. Our one girl who was not able to ask the interview questions at the nut rally interviewed our troop. And let me tell you, 4 girls means 4 different ideas and opinions. It took longer than I thought for them to get everything down and we are going to have to finish up the newsletter next week. I gave them the option of finishing up at home or at the meeting and they chose the meeting.
