Last night we had a slumber party for Kellsie's birthay. She invited the Girl Scouts over. IT went great! We painted fingure nails, made bath gel and bath salts. We put on facial masks (that was funny and I have pictures to prove it). We had lots of junk food and an ice cream cake.
Then this morning (sat) we went to Build it up for Girl Scouts. It was from 9am to 3pm at UNM (university of New Mexico). They work on thier Architechture badge. It started off really boring. They talked about famous architecs and stuff like that. But then they took us on a short tour of UNM and talked about the buildings and their history. Very cool. When we got back to the classroom they taught the girl how to draw in scale. They each had a foot ruler and they learned that when you draw to scale you use 1/4" on the ruler to every 1 foot in real mesurements. They drew the room they were currently in. And then they planned their future or dream room. They had to draw it to scale and then use posterboard to make walls. Then they used materical and paper to make beds, bookcases, closets, windows and a whole bunch of other stuff.
I was really impressed with Kellsie's. It was really imaginative and smart. She had a special room (inside her room) that was just for HArley (her dog), then she had a hart bed that was on a platform. She was the only one who thought of book cases. She also had carpet, computer desk with computer, area rug and then we ran out of time. She wants to work on it more tomorrow.
Some of the other girls were funny with some of their ideas. Jessica had a hot tub in her room. Savanah had 9 closets. Of course they were ontop of each other and she needed an elevator to get to them. Mariah had only 7 closets. She needed one for every season, one for shoes and I forgot what the other 2 were for.
Other than being gone all day, we had a blast. The girls are fun to be with and that is why I love girl Scouts (well, that and COOKIES).
Jeff just got home, so I think I will see how he is doing. He has been working major hours at work. He is a good manager and make sure his store looks good all the time. I just feel bad that he works such long hours. I hope he brought home ice cream. What a man!
