Chillin!

Monday is here...unfortunatly, but getting to blog makes it a little better. Other then a semi-short trip to Fayetteville saturday it was a hide out and stay warm kinda weekend. MaryJane is in girlscouts, if you didnt already know, and she had a metting Friday and great newz. COOKIES!! Yup, tha best part of girlscouts has got to be the cookies. She had some door hangers and i mean as soon as we got home she was ready to make trips to peoples doors. she was so cute and was so excited. We dont know that many people at our apartments, but they got one, a few people we dont know got one, and the office got one, and we got one. hehe. I will make a seperate post tomorrow that has all the details about the cookies in case some of you might like to make a purchase from the cutiest little girlscout there is. : )

So girlscouts trickled into Staurday morning. We played a few games she did at girlscouts, but in place of other kids we used stuffed animals. Didnt work as well w/o other kids, but we had fun with it. Made a trip out and about later in the morning. our first stop was applebee's where some girlscouts were serving breakfast as a fund raiser. We ate pancakes and admired all the crap they have on there walls. Went to Barnes and Noble to read and ended our trip w/ toys r us where we got this beautiful puzzle. Shes been doing 100 piece puzzles for ages now, but thursday and friday at Jess's she did the same 150 piece puzzle 6 times. she was pretty proud of that. so we had to go bigger...300 pieces. we did this one together and it really wasnt that hard. purtty cool i think.

We spent most of the rest of the day playing as usual, but did sprinkle in the new chore list. she had done good all week, but had not gotten any stickers yet because some things have to be done more then once. Saturday the end of the week and the sticker day. she got all 6 stickers. she was amazing. she practicly took over putting away groceries, she was a determined and proficient Cinderella when i came to the dusting, and cleaned her room in record time. She really showed me how much she was in tune w/ things when she came out of her room after getting ready for bed w/ her dirty clothes and put them by the washer. going above and beyond. i am very proud of her!!

Sunday was church. She strutted her other Christmas dress (blue and black) and brought home a poster about helping less fortunate kids overseas. they are going to be making and collecting items to send to the needy children. it will be a very nice ongoing project. MaryJane gave me a record 5 letters today and guess what....she luvs me. What a sweetie she is. Played this game through the day where i was 3 webkinz (2 dogs and a bear) and she was 1 cat. the animals did different tasks to get a prize, which was mostly make-up. the animals did puzzles, played board games, and other activities. MaryJane has quite the imagination.

be back tomorrow w/ cookie info and should be back wednesday as well to talk about M.J.'s first day of Treehouse and our first trip to community group for the spring semester.
