They were as delicious as they look! We still have extras so I put a few in the freezer today. I think they'll keep okay there.
In other news...
We had some school lessons today. Violet finished the last of the regular pages in Easy Grammar 3rd grade. Tomorrow or the next day she'll take the post-assessment test. I'm also going to have her do the few pages at the end book on letter writing on sentences. Then no more grammar until fall!
She also did a lot of math work. The combination of Miquon and Noble Knights of Knowledge is really working. She gets the concept beeter with the Knights. She can do the problems in Miquon as practice. One complaint I have about Knights is that there aren't many practice problems. Yes, I know, I'm a smart gal, I can easily make up math problems. I just don't want to. I love, love, love to make up my own curriculum and lessons, but I'm just too darned tired. The next math session we have she'll finish up the Blue Book in Miquon.
I called Cookie Chair to see if she'd heard anything about Violet's missing stuffed dog. She was almost rude saying she'd call me when it came in. Well, she doesn't have a very good communication track record this cookie season and I just don't believe her that she'll call me very quickly. Meanwhile Violet is waiting patiently and I'd really like to wrap up this cookie season.
I'm also following up on 8 missing registration forms for girls who sold cookies but are not yet officially members of Girl Scouts. Out of the 8, 7 of the forms are supposedly on their way to me. Should have been here by now. They aren't. I sent follow-up e-mail to the leaders. The leaders of girl number 8 never returned my first e-mail. I'm just trying to do my volunteer work here people, is it too hard to do what you'll say you'll do? I suspect that Violet's dog didn't make it here because Cookie Chair wasn't happy about hearing about the unregistered girls so late in the process. Guess what? She was the one who had all the listings of troops as well as the listings of who sold. I never once, and still don't, have access to who sold cookies. I got the list of girls from Council. Next year if they expect me to collect the registration forms after the fact, they are going to supply me with the information much earlier than this year.
Whew. Thanks for listening to all that. I kinda had to get it out of my system so I could put it on the back burner and forget about it for a while. If no one else cares enough to return my e-mail or call me, I don't either. I am just a volunteer.
Tomorrow Violet has a class called "Junior Trackers" at a local nature center. It looks like there are 7 kids signed up for it according to the online system. A really nice size. They get to make a cast of an animal print. I think she'll enjoy the class. I'm going to take it easy for an hour while she's in her class. Maybe I'll take a cupcake with me. And NOT think about Girl Scout cookies.

The cupcakes look yummy. Can you send me one?
It's time to bypass the cookie person and call your council rep about the stuffed dog.
Ooops.. you said you weren't going to think about the whole cookie mess anymore... but a dog isn't really a cookie, right?
Those cupcakes look so good!
The tracking class sounds like a lot of fun. Once we tried to make an animal paw impression in plaster of Paris. The plan was to first make the track, then make a cast of it. Our 15-pound tomcat did not think much of our lesson plan, however. Meeeooowww!
Those look great! She is so cute too. I couldn't help but notice that we have the SAME lion project as on your fridge...it hung on our fridge for years before I finally cleaned everything off when we got a new fridge last year.
They look yummy, Violet! You did a great job! I hope you get your puppy. Keep mommy away from the Kool-Aid!
Those cupcakes look DELICIOUS! Did I miss the recipe? Can you please post it?
I'm drooling over here. If you send me a cupcake, I'll send you some sunshine. Deal?
