Kiss My Knits!

We had two new girls join us, so we’re up to seven girls total now. They seem quite nice. A bit quiet, but that’s to be expected when you’re joining an already established group.

We made our dolls. Emily finished hers first, and hers also looked the most like mine. I should have anticipated that when I made an example. She stayed fairly calm when she was having trouble, and I was able to stick close to help when she asked for it. We had a range of creations, including marbled chocolate cake with candles, and tree sculpture including monkey.

Then we used the lantern I previously mentioned. We didn’t have s’mores. We had s’mores flavor Pop Tarts. We turned on the lantern and turned out the lights, then passed out Pop Tarts as we sat around our ‘campfire.’ I asked them what their favorite thing they saw on our nature walk through the mountains was. They made up stuff they’d seen, and we told stories, including this strange but true story of a kamakazi cow (cowmakazi?) falling off a cliff onto a minivan. It was a successful camping trip.

All around, a good meeting. Emily’s decompressing some and eating pizza while playing MySims on the wii. After she’s had a couple of slices, we’ll do homework. Then she’ll want a bath (she wants one every night now) and it’ll be bedtime. What a full day!
