What a Weekend

First of all...It's over! It's over! It's over! We sold every single box of cookies we had plus 43 boxes that we took in from another troop at the last moment. A grand total of 1243 boxes of cookies sold this year. Our last two booth sales Friday and Saturday night completely wiped us out. This has never happened before, not even close! What a relief! We could go to the mall lock-in and celebrate.

And that's what happened next. Saturday night, out at Southpark Mall, Fearless Co-Leader and I took all the girls to one very long night locked in a mall. We shopped, ate, danced, played mini-golf, saw "Horton Hears A Who", went down giant inflatable slides and slept. Yes, slept! Here's proof...



Sleeping has never been part of the lock-in before, they usually stay up talking and giggling, but this year they all passed out. So did I. I fell asleep at the movie too! Cool part of this year was the pillow making craft that everyone (except leaders!) got to do. That's what they are all sleeping on.
The Man and his dad are back from Florida safe and sound. They bought a camera while they were there, so someday I'll have pictures up and lots of details from the trip. It sounds like they had a really terrific time. I'm really excited about seeing the pictures from Kennedy Space Center.

Worth Watching

The Man and his dad are in Florida right now enjoying Cleveland Indians spring training. They had a pretty tough time between getting their luggage and finally getting to bed yesterday, but today went much better. Neither of them took a camera, but they will stop and pick one up sometime soon I've been told. I asked the Man if we would be interested in guest writing on the blog about what they see and do in Florida. Nope, not interested. So, in place of that enjoy this wonderfully amazing video. It's Chinese gymnasts doing ballet. Stick through it because it just keeps getting better and better!
