The conversation:
B: You don’t have school tomorrow because its a holiday.
S: What?
B: Martin Luther King Day.
S: Oh, yeah, we learned about that in school.
K: Tell me about it.
S: Mom, you know how you and Reagan have white skin. There were drinking fountains that said “White Only”.
K: Well, you and Dad are white too.
S: No, we are dark.

Camp Hummingbird
We returned to Camp Hummingbird this weekend. No blizzard this time but there was some good packed snow to play on. Hey, check out this ramp we made!
Of course, we had to go over to the kid’s cabin before night fall!
The best part about this camp? Nature? Isolation? No! Bunk beds!!!
The next morning, the kids spent time sledding around the cabin. Sydney was nice enough to give Reagan rides but on one occasion she fell down and Reagan ran right over the top of her. All good.
How about a live action tour around camp?

Christmas Program
While I was out of town in December, Sydney had her Christmas program at school. Kim recorded it but I just realized I hadn’t posted it yet. So here you go!

Ding Dong
This past fall, Sydney joined the Girl Scouts! She is in Daisies right now. This is the level before Brownies, which is before true Girl Scouts. It is how first graders get started in scouting. So far they have taken several field trips to interesting places. However, this month is the big cookie rally and…
SYDNEY NEEDS YOUR HELP!
You read this blog all the time and it is a free service at the expense of Sydney. So now is your chance to repay Sydney for the 6+ years of enjoyment you (may) have gotten from this blog. But I am not going to let her get off that easy. So I made her do her sales pitch to me on camera. So pretend your doorbell just rang. Go answer the door! Are you still sitting there?

If you didn’t catch that list of cookies, you can find them online here. Have a look at the list and pick out your favorite kinds. Then double your order! Remember, Thin Mints are best eaten a sleeve at a time — at least that is my rule.
Note: We just figured out that the girl scout list online contains a few cookies that the girls are not selling this year. Those not available include the Daisy-Go-Rounds, the Thanks-a-lots and the Lemonades. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Guess we didn’t look at the list close enough. Thanks again for the orders!!!
Cookies are $3.25 a box.
So here is the drill. Then leave a comment here on this post with your order. That way we can build momentum between cookie lovers. Specify quantity and type. Sydney gets the cookies in early February. We will prepare the order and ship them to you (I will pay the shipping). If I don’t have your address, I will email you around that time to get it. You can mail us a check or send via PayPal upon receipt of cookies.
Order away! I will try and keep you posted on Sydney’s sales totals. She only gets to sell for 2 weeks so order today. Quantities are limited. Operators are standing by!
