We did it!

The title says it all. Today was a VERY busy day. A big family it a blessing, but the activities sure keep you busy. Today started a 7:30 when Jim took Jacob to a Boy Scout Merit Badge Round up, then he hastily ran to meet Aaron's Cub Scout Den to gather up food for the "Scouting for Food" drive. Once that was done, he ran home and got me. We headed off for the Huntsville Chinese New Year Celebration. We had to take Hope, she LOVES the Lion Dance. She screams and giggles the whole time the Lion is running around. I felt bad because Jacob adores Chinese Food and he missed it. He will gain weigh while in China, and Jim will lose weight.

After we rung in the New Year, we ran home got Robbi's Brownie vest and headed out. First, we had to retreive Robbi from a sleep over. We spent the next 2 hours selling Girl Scout Cookies at the local Wal-Mart. It was so nice to get in our warm van. Our day is still going...we are now off to a School Social for Jacob. Family is invited. It was a pitch meal for the kids. We dropped Robbi off at a friends house and picked up her friend's sister and ran for the social.

It was a lot of fun. Chaporones dancing, kids sitting around laughing and talking. I felt bad for the middle school girls. They were dreaming of dancing and spent the night dancing together, while the middle school boys were hidden way playing board games. Once the party was over, we pitched in to clean up. I told Jim I work all my cleaning complusions out at school functions. No need bringing habits like that home......Then we headed home to get Robbi and and drop off our friend's daughter. The boys went home with a friend so it was a quiet night. Only 2 kids home.....it all starts again tomorrow. I'm tired just reading about the day.
