Tomorrow night I think we’ll work on the “animals” try-it.<\/a> There are some good ideas for activities. However, since our troop is two merged troops, I thought I’d try to throw in a new activity. To that end, I’m going to rename the game sleeping pirate<\/a> to “cat and mouse” and talk briefly about predators and prey before we play. Then they’ll be cats trying to get the mouse, instead of pirates trying to get the treasure. I don’t know if NC kids are familiar with sleeping pirate or not. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

If I had a little more notice, I’d say that the Carolina Alpaca Festival would be an excellent field trip for the girls. I’m actually a little nervous about field trips, since that’s new territory. Hm.<\/p>\n

When I told my husband I was going to play sleeping pirate with the girls, my jokester husband, who has played many games with our family, said, “You’re going to teach them to cheat??” I said, “No, we’re not playing like my mom!” Now, my mom doesn’t cheat at party games like “Mother May I?” She just seizes upon the chaos around her to sneak a little closer to her target. It’s simply a creative interpretation of the rules which she uses to her own advantage, that’s all!<\/p>\n

And speaking of Mom, who hopefully is still speaking to me after reading that, I’ve shanghaied my first family member into helping with Brownies! Yay! My mom will be coming to the next meeting on the 28th to help with the Write Away Try-It, since she is a newspaper editor. I think it’ll be interesting for the girls to have a guest speaker.<\/p>\n

I have many, many errands to run today, and a girl scout council meeting tonight, so I’m off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
