Petal Power!

I've been going through a course of training to become a Daisy Girl Scout Troop leader. Man, the paperwork is unreal. You can't so much as walk outside of the meeting room to play on the grass without getting signed permission slips from each parent in advance. But I really like the values the girls work on to earn their petals.

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.



The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine is in charge of planning the school's harvest fair, so I ended up agreeing to do face painting at the fair and to bake five dozen cookies for prizes. I made the first 3 dozen cookies when Wini was at school. We worked on the last two dozen together, but they came out awful. I guess all the precise measuring does make a difference! I'm going to have to whip up a big batch tonight after bedtime.

My birthday's just around the corner....we're going to a play at the Berkeley Repertoire Theatre and leaving li'l bit with her grandparents Kibre. Should be fun.
