This week coming up will be BUSY. The girls have swim lessons in the morning again. Hopefully the weather will cooperate like it did last week. Macy gets her new cast on Thursday, which should be waterproof.
Then at night this week they have Girl Scout camp. Kaylin isn't an official Girl Scout, but she gets to go as a "tag" since I am volunteering. The tag's get to go everything the bigger campers do, but they are separated from the big campers. Macy is with 4 of her friends, so she is pretty excited. Friday night she gets to spend the night at the camp, outside in a tent. She's very excited about that.
Yesterday we spent the day getting ready for camp, with much help from my mom. We made the situpons, which are exactly what they sound like--something soft and waterproof for them to sit upon. Then we made our t-shirts. They colored all over it with Sharpie's, then sprayed rubbing alcohol on it to bleed the colors. Kaylin's is, well, interesting to say the least. They will wear the t-shirts every day.
The big part of our night was the SWAPS--Special Whatchamaticallit Affectionately Pinned Somewhere. The point is to hand make something, put a pin on the back, then on Friday they trade them with others.
Kaylin's is wooden stars that she stuck foam stars on. She did all the stars herself, and was very proud of herself. Mom hot-glued the pin on the back. Her SWAP was very cheap and very easy, which was the point.
Macy's is more complicated. The theme of the camp is Paradise, and the name of her unit is Pink Island Girls. So she wanted palm trees. We used wooden popsicle sticks for the trunk, hot-glued green leaves cut out of green foam, and made a base out of brown felt. Mom again did all the hot-glueing. We enjoyed listening to her squeal when she burnt her finger on the hot glue. I wrote Pink Island Girls on the tree branches, and then Camp 2008 on the popsicle stick. I think they look cute, and she is excited to hand them out on Friday.
We'll probably be resting a lot in the afternoons this week. Maybe even a nap or two.
