The Daisy Girl Scout Investiture ceremony was held on Sunday afternoon. This was where Evangeline officially became a Girl Scout. It was sweet. The second year girls lit candles and recited various parts of the Girl Scout Law and then the first year Daisy's came up to sing a song. They all got little daisy crowns to wear which made it even more special.
The ceremony concluded with the Girl Scout handshake.
Then the girls had an ice cream social. Evangeline actually got a badge for the ice cream social. Kyle and I joked on the way home about how easy that badge was to earn.
Both of Evangeline's grandmas were Girl Scouts and Granny was a long time troop leader.
Today we've been enjoying what is left of a glorious three day weekend. We finally got some snow! We had fun traipsing around the yard until our noses were running and our fingers were freezing cold. Evangeline discovered the fun of shaking baby trees until the snow had completely dropped from their twigs. It was so much fun for Mama to watch. Here she was writing my name on a rock, "Mama, look! An A for Adrienne, then a J for A-J-rienne". I love the sounding out of words.
Another note about reading and sounding out words...this morning I was making pancakes and Evangeline was setting up a game of Sequence for us to play. She asked me what the game chips said, then she decided that they say "for kibs". I realized she meant "for kids", but it is so crazy that she is reading and figuring out words on her own. It's pretty cool actually.
Can you spot the Mommy and Evangeline-sized snow angels? Every time I turned around Evangeline was plopped down on her back making a snow angel.
The snow has certainly had a soporific effect on me. I took not one, but two naps! The crazy thing is that I'm not a napper. I hate naps. Now, Kyle has certainly argued this point with me and I am never one to deny Evangeline of a nap, but for me to take a nap is a total waist of daylight. However, today I took two and I have to admit it felt pretty good.
