She started mid-year, because I thought her school would send a flyer looking for girl scouts at the beginning of the year, then I forgot about it, and by the time I looked into it, it was January. Her troop is at a nearby elementary school b/c there is no one to lead a troop at her school (and I'm not doing it!)Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953061415340340795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704643773843536897.post-64999346319270317842013-06-28T15:25:42.361-05:002013-06-28T15:25:42.361-05:00I didn't know she was a girl scout.I didn't know she was a girl scout.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100249753054668727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704643773843536897.post-22467762554247234922009-11-01T09:42:26.774-06:002009-11-01T09:42:26.774-06:00K won't be 5 until January.K won't be 5 until January.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100249753054668727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704643773843536897.post-86542832658767631982009-10-31T21:11:15.195-05:002009-10-31T21:11:15.195-05:00I second the earplugs!!

I might have to borrow a monkey outfit next year!<br /><br />Off topic: I don't know if Morgan likes playing dress up yet, but Michaels in Joliet has these really cute animal hats and a few tails that you can clip onto your clothes on clearance. They're $1.60 each. I got a few for B and she's LOVING them. Especially the tails. Maybe I can get Grandma to sew her up some different tails. I went to Michaels in Oak Brook and their's weren't on clearance.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953061415340340795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704643773843536897.post-86249297195125465242009-08-01T18:15:54.761-05:002009-08-01T18:15:54.761-05:00Go with what you have for Bridget.

You can't define it or improve it. You are either born "floppy" or not. Muscle strength can be "defined" or "developed". And being what we used to call double-jointed really just means you have low muscle tone (your joints move beyond where they should naturally stop if you were born with typical muscle tone). Flexing the joints beyond where they should be is not something you want them to do because it can cause joint problems later in life.Joann Badalinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704643773843536897.post-38236281295194013932009-05-27T08:16:56.625-05:002009-05-27T08:16:56.625-05:00Morgan was 2 months at the time of her baptism.

I was wondering if you wanted Bridget to stay a few hours with us sometime soon just so she won't be quite as freaked out when she "has" to stay with us when the babies come out. Also, if you're looking for a meal, let us know and we'll bring some food over since you're getting more and more tired lately. Just let us know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681092788010718019noreply@blogger.com
