Ok, growing up, I never did a whole lot of "extra curricular" type of activities. The most "extra" I got was being a cheerleader for 2 years for South Roebuck Football. I loved being a cheerleader, but my mom says she got tired of seeing my frowning face and didn't sign me up after that. As I remember it, I was told I couldn't do it anymore because I was too old...funny how the truth comes out as we get older...haha. And to clear up that misconception of my "frowning" face...I specifically remember that it was always a Saturday Morning that we were cheering for a football game, and we had to stand with our back to the field, faces to the sun shining in our eyes and I was only "Frowning" to be able to see!!!!!!!!!!
Nuff Said 'bout that...
Anyhoo...Megan has been invited to join a Brownie Scout group. I'm thinking this may be a good thing for her. Most kids her age have long been involved in SOMETHING...dance, gymnastics, cheernastics, softball, soccer, etc. I have never signed her up for anything because of one reason....MONEY$$$$$! There is a troop that meets at her school, which is really convienent since 1. I work there, 2. She goes to school there, and 3. I know the leader because she also teaches at the school. So we're thinking about it. There is not much to cost...as a matter of fact, the most expensive part will be to get her vest/patch starter at a $45 cost. I pay $10 a year in fees, $5 a month to the troop for "extras" (or something like that), and the best part is...GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!!!!!!!
THAT'S IT! I'M SOLD! HAND OVER THE THIN MINTS!
Megan's gonna be a Girl Scout!
Seriously...we're talking to her about it. We've been having "sassy attitude" problems lately, and we've told her that this is something that she can EARN as a privelege if she get's her attitude in check and stops talking back, and start being a little more respectful. She's been working on it since Tuesday....yesterday was a good day (the other's not so much). We'll see how it goes. I really want her to do this, but I feel she needs to earn it, so hopefully this will be a little incentive.
I'M ROUTING FOR YA MEGAN!
(Mama really want's those Thin Mints!)
2 2 SNAPS UP~YOU GO GIRL!:
Well, I'm going to try again to post a comment. Obviously I don't know what I'm doing because I can never get one to post!
I was a Brownie Scout and then a Girl Scout when I was younger (many, many moons ago!)(before the days of Girl Scout cookies). I enjoyed it a bunch. We always had refreshments and made a craft! Right down Megan's alley!!
The other comment I TRIED to post was about who the children look like. Megan does favor Jonathan but I think Ryan Favors your Mom!

I usually stalk your blog but this time I thought I would leave you a comment!! Braylin joined the cub scouts this year and we use it as a reward too. It works out good. They go on camping trips alot so I will be calling the proffesional campers in the future to get some advice. Meagan will LOVE it!
