so far so good..

My girl scout camping trip went extremely well! Everything went as planned and the girls really seemed to enjoy it! They cooked out of their box ovens that we made, started the campfires with firestarters we made out of dryer lint and candle wax! They also took their duties seriously and without complaints, they cleaned the latrines, set up the dunk line, and pitched the tents. Overall, I'm glad that the first time is over-with because I was getting so anxious that my stomach hurt! We're definitely going again in the Spring!
The kids have been in school for over a month already and I just can't keep up with all the activities! I've been using my crockpot to cook dinner almost every day just so that a home-cooked meal is ready and waiting while we're all running around! I am so thankful for that little bit of pre-planning when I get home and am too tired to cook!
