Y'all, it's April. Not only did I not photograph my winter capsule, I'm already in my Spring one! I always have high hopes to be productive in the winter but cookie season always gets the best of me. My troop went through over 5,000 boxes of cookies in six weeks. It was exhausting and amazing. Anyway! I'm trying to get back into the blog. Right in time to get slammed with year end stuff, haha! Honestly, if it's not one thing, it's another.</div>

I recently completed my first 10x10 challenge. If you're unfamiliar with the 10x10, it's ten articles of clothing in ten days. That number doesn't include accessories or under garments, but does include shoes! It was such a fun challenge. I didn't really struggle with it except for one day when I felt a little silly in my choice. I already capsule wardrobe so it was fairly easy to find items that I reach for all the time. </div>

1. I'm still not okay. I'm not over the election results and I don't think I ever will be. I'm not really sure how I'm feelings, and I don't think I could properly put it into words. There's a lot about politics that I'm extremely ignorant on. I don't claim to know all the facts. But I'm going with my gut on this. I feel hurt and betrayed. I think less of people I once respected. And it's not Democrat v. Republican betrayal, Hillary wasn't my top pick. Like the photo above states, it's human decency. I'm scared for the future. I'm scared for my kids, for my friends. I'm embarrassed on a National level. </div>

2. Still reading <i>Gone Girl</i>. I still really enjoy it!! I'm a little over half way into it and it's really starting to pick up! I'm not going to give any spoilers on the chance you still haven't read it. I've very excited to see how it ends. I wish I had more time to read. I get a few minutes a day in so it's taking FOREVER to get through.</div>

3. Girl Scout cookie season is here for Central Indiana! We kicked off the season with a Cookie Palooza rally! The event made the <a href="http://www.winchesternewsgazette.com/news/it-s-girl-scout-cookie-time-again/article_48dd9d44-d5ee-11e6-bb97-6f50eccf1b33.html" target="_blank">local paper</a> and was even mentioned in a newsletter through GSUSA! A few of my Daisies are in the photo. #proudleader</div>

4. I'm wrapping up my first 10x10 challenge. It was a lot of fun and definitely took creative stamina to keep it up. I hope to have a complete post on it next week. </div>

5. Today is election day. I had a huge spiel I wanted to write out. I wanted to vent my frustrations. I had this whole conversation in my head, about what I'd say to a family member who is a Tr*mp supporter. But you know what? It wouldn't change a thing. Because you can't change willful ignorance. I can scream until I'm blue in the face. I can list the dozens of reasons how they've royally fucked me, and my kids, over. But it won't matter. I'm done trying to convince anyone. I can't wait until I get to say, "I told you so". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

7. I've seen a lot of people pick a word for their year. My word is ACTION. I will fight with every part of my being. I will fight injustice, bigotry, racism, homophobia, sexism. I will not sit idly by. I'm not going to do it with just words. It's going to take more than words. It has to. I will not let some orange faced baboon and a slew on 1% dictate how my life should be led. </div>

1. I try so hard every year to be organized and prepared for Christmas time. I really thought this would be the year I succeeded. I even got a jump start over the summer! Then it was one thing after the other. We were all sick for such a long time. Then our van needed repaired. One of these years I'll have my act together. Maybe once the kids are a bit older.<br />
<br />
2. But, we made it through and the kids all had a great time! Laura, our former exchange student, flew in from Germany and has been here for the past couple of weeks! We love having her! My dad was here for about a week as well!<br />

3. I started reading <i><a href="http://gillian-flynn.com/gone-girl/" target="_blank">Gone Girl</a> </i>in December. I don't get to read for long amount of times but I'm really liking the book so far! I'm curious how it plays out. I like that it jumps around in the timeline and gives different character perspective. I haven't watched the movie so it's all a mystery to me!<br />
<br />
4. We recently took a trip to Target. I bravely tried on jeans and was pleasantly surprised! I'm not sure if Target does vanity sizing but I was able to size down, which was a huge boost of post-holiday-weight-gain confidence. I liked the <a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-high-rise-jegging-medium-wash-mossimo/-/A-50711883" target="_blank">high waisted jeggings</a> the most. The high waist lets me tuck in the mom tum.<br />

5. You guys, my house is a total disaster. Literally every room is dirty. I keep putting it off in the hopes I'll be in the cleaning mood. I've been so lazy recently! I just want to relax, watch shows, play Sims. I still have Christmas decorations out, Christmas presents that haven't been put away, plus all the normal stuff the kids tear apart. Maybe this weekend I'll have a chance to get it straightened up. My goal is to take down Christmas decorations today.</div>

<br />
1. Sorry for missing a few weeks there. We have all had the longest lasting colds! I've been sick on and off for the past six weeks! This last round really knocked me down. I even had to take medicine. I'm not like anti-medicine or anything, I'll give it to Story if she's sick, but I don't personally take it. I don't have a good reason other than I don't think it really helps. But I just finished off my second bottle of cold medicine. I'm slowly climbing out of the sickness fog. It's about time too. I've got like one million things to do. Seriously, why is there always so many things to take care of?<br />
<br />
2. Our dumb van broke down on Saturday. I shouldn't call it dumb, it's like a fourth child. Our mechanic can't look at it until today so the babies (toddlers?) and I have been stuck at home all week. If you're a diligent reader you'll remember that we had <a href="http://pikesplaceblog.blogspot.com/2016/08/pike-family-vacation-2016-part-4.html" target="_blank">van trouble</a> over the summer. I hope it's an easier, and cheaper, fix than last time! For real, we've got Christmas stuff to get.<br />
<br />
3. I've been super busy with girl scout activities! Like, woah. We had a recruitment night and nine new girls signed up. We now have thirty-seven registered girls in our troop. That's a lot of girls! It's pretty amazing considering the size of the school.<br />
<br />
4. Story and Jordan went to a Me & My Guy dance a couple of weeks ago! It was Hawaiian themed. They had a blast! Our local Girl Scout Service Unit hosts one each year.<br />

5. I've gotten a whopping two people crossed off our Christmas list. I really thought I'd be on top of it this year. I even bought a few presents for the kids over the summer! I got my list ready and then we all got sick, and then our van broke down. Now there's like two weeks and I can't order anything. AHHH!! Slightly panicking. Story is mostly done but I only have one small thing for Finley. And I haven't even started on stockings... My dad will be here for Christmas and so will Laura, our past foreign exchange student! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. We have the cone of shame around our tree this year. Oliver loves to take down the ornaments. He yells "ball!" every time he sees the tree. He and Finley work together to get the ornaments down. He's also figured out how to reach inside the gate and unwrap the presents. Kids are just the best!</div>

7. Our mechanic called! The van will be fixed on Monday! That's such a huge relief! I've got meetings all week and Jordan has concerts.<br />

<br />
Meeting twelve was a hodge podge of make up work. We are able to get through almost every step per badge in one meeting but sometimes we need to finish up a step or two. We also worked on the <i>Brownie Quest </i>and <i>Agent of Change</i> journeys.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Pledge/Promise</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Snack/Dance Party</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">DAISY</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Considerate and Caring</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Read Zinni's story</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We broke into levels this meeting and the daisy girls worked on a petal. They read Zinni's story and talked through what happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Share a Care Jars</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this activity the girls were given jars, stickers, and ribbons to decorate. The girls had so much fun working on these! They all looked great!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Soldier Thank You Cards</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each daisy made a thank you card for a soldier!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Brainstorming</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We sat down and talked about our community, what it needed, and what we could do to help. The girls had a lot of fantastic ideas! Several of them focused on helping those with physical handicaps. They decided to put on a talent show and all those that attended had bring an item to donate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Life Size Me</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to make up step five of My Best Self. The girls broke off into pairs and traced each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Marching</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most girls completed the Celebrate Community Legacy badge but we had a few that still needed to complete a step. I taught the girls the basics of marching. Now, I'm not very good at it and my husband (a former Cavalier) would probably have had a fit to see it, but the girls had fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My Family Story</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls were given the My Family Story packet to work on over break. They were asked to bring in a special family piece and we talked about them. </div>

1. I recently joined a Facebook group that's centered around minimalism and motherhood. I've always been one to want "stuff", decorative pieces, photos, shelves, throw pillows, anything to fill it up. Both of my parents have hoarding tendencies so I think it was jut ingrained in me. We've moved so many times in the past six years, and we've moved all of this stuff with us. Majority of it was yard sale or Goodwill finds. Once we had two babies seventeen months apart, I put all of it away. I didn't want to constantly fight with them over touching some random ceramic thing. I told myself, "I will get all my pretty things out in a few years when they're older." But you know what? It's so refreshing to not have so much "stuff" out. I don't have to worry about it, or clean it, or store it. </div>

2. Finley and Oliver have been sick all week. No one has been sleeping well and it's been a total drain. I came down with something yesterday and I'm pretty miserable today. Of course, I have a million things to do so I'm just going to have to suffer through.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Thanksgiving is next week. NEXT WEEK!!! This year has flown by. It still feels like it should be summer. The warmer weather isn't helping either, Isn't it normally snowing by now? Yesterday it was in the 70's. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving but this is the first year in a while that I'm not pregnant or nursing, so I'm going to have to chill out on the extra helpings.</div>

4. Since Thanksgiving is next week, that means Christmas is what? Five weeks away? Have you started shopping?! I've gotten a jump start on the children's Christmas. I think we're going to try a different approach this year. Something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. Then Santa gets a few things plus stockings, Our kids really don't need anything, I don't see the point in wasting money on a ton of toys they're not going to play with, We have an entire playroom and they play with the same things over and over.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Jordan turns THIRTY this year!!! I'm throwing him a party today. I had grand plans for it, but this week has gotten away from me. At this point, I just hope to feed everyone and then go lay down. Nah, lol, it's going to be fun. I've never thrown a grown up only party before. At first I was like, "I need a theme, and a fun cake, oh and streamers and balloons!" Then I realized Jordan would kill me if I did all that. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. I got nothing else. I'm too tired and sick.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. And I've got so much to do today..... :(<br />

<br />
<br />
Meeting eleven was actually a field trip! We took a walk to a local polling place on election day! We luckily live in a small town so we were able to walk from the school to the municipal building in about twenty minutes. This was a multi level trip that finished up "I Promised A Girl Scout I Would Vote" and also Celebrate Community Legacy badge for brownies.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BROWNIE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Celebrate Community Legacy badge</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1 - Explore Community Symbols</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On our way to the polling center the girls were tasked with calling out when they'd spot an American flag. They yelled out "flag, flag!". Our numbers were a little off but I think we spotted around seven flags on the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2 - Sing Together</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While walking the girls sang whatever patriotic songs they could think of. They knew a little bit of "America The Beautiful", and "You're A Grand Old Flag". They also went on to sing a few Christmas carols, ha ha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3 - Follow The Parade</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of the girls completed this step last month. We were in a community parade. For those that missed it, I will teach them to march at our next meeting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-csIauxyLe1E/WCz78JrF1NI/AAAAAAAAMdA/IoL69XNH3M4XQ_08hIrILqCzMfM6j2OZwCLcB/s1600/14494743_10209475287772035_384694376838755728_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-csIauxyLe1E/WCz78JrF1NI/AAAAAAAAMdA/IoL69XNH3M4XQ_08hIrILqCzMfM6j2OZwCLcB/s640/14494743_10209475287772035_384694376838755728_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 4 - Be A Landmark Detective</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The original school in our town was destroyed by a tornado in 1986. There is a landmark that happened to be on our way to the municipal building! We stopped and the girls took turns reading about the tornado. The moms also told stories about where they were when the school was destroyed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 5 - Join A Ceremony Or Celebration</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we arrived at the polling location the girls cheered on voters! They had signs and handed out candy. We also gave thank you cards to the poll workers. Of course, it started to rain so we were all soaked! We were not allowed to get within 50 feet of the entrance so we were just standing in the rain for about fifteen minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The field trip was a lot of fun. I'm glad the girls got to see democracy in action. </div>

<br />
1. There is so much I'd like to say regarding the outcome of Tuesday's election. But I'm not. I'm grieving in my own way. I'm ashamed of America and ashamed that so many, personal friends and family included, voted for that horrid man. Who knew there was so much hatred and bigotry left in this country. I have three beautiful children that will not learn behavior like that at home. I was very saddened by the sheer number of small children, first, second, third graders, who loudly proclaimed they <i>hated</i> Hillary Clinton. Don't spout your evil to your children. Give them the chance to be decent human beings.<br />
<br />
2. We took our girl scout group to a local polling center on election day. I really wanted them to be a part of the day a woman broke the glass ceiling.... It was a good learning experience either way. They were part of history, whether good or bad. They passed out candy to people waiting in line, made thank you cards for poll workers and clapped and thanked people for their vote. It was cold and rainy but those girls stood out there with smiles on their faces.<br />
<br />

<br />
3. MOVING ON! I hosted my first LuLaRoe party. It was good! I walked away with a few pieces and even snagged a pair of black leggings. I've been on a bit of a leggings kick. I've sworn against them for all these years, but I can't deny the comfort level.<br />
<br />
4. I got my first pair of high waisted jeans. Game changer! I had a Kohl's gift card so I picked something from there. I went with <a href="http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2614422/womens-lc-lauren-conrad-high-rise-jeggings.jsp?skuId=Women%27s+LC+Lauren+Conrad+High-Rise+Jeggings&search=Women%27s+LC+Lauren+Conrad+High-Rise+Jeggings&submit-search=web-regular" target="_blank">Lauren Conrad High Waisted Jeggings in dark wash.</a> They were on sale when I got them! I think I'm going to order them in black when they go on sale again.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. I'm itching to get our Christmas stuff out. We normally wait until after Thanksgiving but I just don't want to this year. Honestly, the whole meaning behind Thanksgiving is lost. We're fighting with the Native Americans still to this day. It seems pointless to celebrate a farce. Also, you can still be thankful and have Christmas stuff around. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. I rescued a kitten on Monday. I noticed this tiny little kitten across the street from our house. It was limping and walking back and forth on the sidewalk. I watched for a while to see if it would leave, or it's mother would come. After about forty minutes I got out our cat carrier and walked over to it. This poor little kitten's eyes were matted shut and it was sneezing. I loved on it a bit and put it in the carrier. I figured I'd take it to a local shelter, no problem. Get it home, give it food and water and put it in our bathroom. I called shelter after shelter and none would take it. I got a hold of an awesome lady who fosters animals and she agreed to take it if I could get the ACA to give it medical attention. They agreed and I dropped it off there. This little baby had an eye infection, upper respiratory infection and a fractured back foot. It's on medication now and is doing better!<br />

7. Oliver is starting to take steps!!! He's not very good at it but he's learning. He normally takes two steps and then lunges into my arms but sometimes I can get him to take up to five steps. Won't be long now.<br />

Meeting ten was a fun one because we got to celebrate Juliette Gordon Low's birthday! We have about thirteen new girls so majority of them had never heard of her. I haven't really taken much time with her history. We've always had so many girls and they're still pretty young. Maybe next year we'll get more into it. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1 - Sing Everywhere</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all got in a circle and did the Hokey Pokey! That dance is so tiring! All the girls were short of breath, and so was I. I talked to the girls about how singing songs is a girl scout tradition and asked them to think of other times we've sang together. The most memorable was our camp last year with older scouts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2 - Celebrate JGL's Birthday</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each year the girls are given a cupcake with a candle. We sing happy birthday and blow out candles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3 - Share Sisterhood</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this step the girls all worked together on a mural. We have over twenty girls so it was a very full and colorful mural! This also went toward our Painter Legacy badge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 4 - Leave a Place Better Than You Found It.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the girls pitched in and cleaned up our meeting spot. They always do a good job with this. We had a lot of trash during this meeting so it was a bit more work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 5 - Enjoy Girl Scout Traditions</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We finally got around to doing a Friendship Circle!!! I've wanted to do one since the start of the year but we've always ran out of time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No photos for this meeting. I am the worst at remembering! </div>

1. I took all three kids Trick or Treating by myself! I felt a bit like Super Mom. The kids all did wonderfully so that helped. Story and Finley held hands and walked while I pushed Oliver in the stroller.<br />

2. I'm pretty sure this is the last year I'll be able to get all of them in matching costumes. Story really wants to pick her own, and they always involve some character. Finley is all about princesses but she really wanted to go as Spider-Girl. She had a wig but took it off after the first stop. Story was Maleficent, Finley was Sleeping Beauty, and Oliver was Prince Phillip. I'm pretty proud of his costume. I made it :) Story's turned out really well too (didn't make it) but Finley's was pretty lame. I originally ordered her a toddler 3t costume but it was so, so, so, big! I didn't have time to return that and order a baby (!!!) costume. We settled on a tutu Sleeping Beauty version from Party City. </div>

3. Monday was my birthday! We had a family get together on Sunday. We went out for sushi and hibachi and then back to Grandma's for homemade gluten free key lime pie! Yum Yum! I forgot how much I like key lime pie. I received some awesome gifts and can't wait for everything to arrive this week!<br />
<br />
4. I got a gift card to <a href="http://mindymaesmarket.com/" target="_blank">Mindy Mae's Market</a>! Woo-hoo! I <i>really </i>want this <a href="http://mindymaesmarket.com/collections/dresses-tunics/products/hannah-floral-dress" target="_blank">dress</a> but it's out of stock right now. I saved a bit of my gift card in hope it becomes available again soon. I did order this <a href="http://mindymaesmarket.com/products/double-hooded-sweatshirt-navy" target="_blank">double hooded sweatshirt</a> in navy and this <a href="http://mindymaesmarket.com/products/chloe-tee-navy" target="_blank">floral shirt</a> in navy. I guess I'm on a navy kick! If you follow along with my <a href="http://pikesplaceblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Thursday%20Threads" target="_blank">Thursday Threads</a> you'll notice I wear a lot of neutrals and navy is a big part of it. I also got a Kohl's gift card. I don't shop there very often. I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's a separate store and I'd have to make a separate trip? Anyway, they have cute clothes and great deals! I've wanted <a href="http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2083099/email.jsp?om_mid=_Complete_Shipment_Responsive_Dynamic&om_etid=112826804&utm_source=TRA&utm_medium=ET&utm_term=112826804&utm_content=125570&utm_campaign=_Complete_Shipment_Responsive_Dynamic" target="_blank">these shoes</a> for ever now and finally ordered a pair! I also ordered a pair of <a href="http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2614422/email.jsp?om_mid=_Complete_Shipment_Responsive_Dynamic&om_etid=112826804&utm_source=TRA&utm_medium=ET&utm_term=112826804&utm_content=125570&utm_campaign=_Complete_Shipment_Responsive_Dynamic" target="_blank">jeggings</a> that were on major mark down and a handful of other things. Here's hoping everything fits! I order most of my stuff online and I swear I have to return 90% of it. I'm still trying to figure out my post-partum body.<br />
<br />
5. Speaking of post-partum, I went bra shopping yesterday. TMI? Just skip this part. I only remember being fitted once before, and that was in high school. But after two babies in two years and breastfeeding both, nothing I had fit. I went in wearing a 34A and walked out in a 32DD! I went to Dillard's and was pleasantly surprised at the whole experience. The sales associate was friendly and helpful, even with both babies (toddlers?) crying and fussing. She took the time to explain why things fit the way they did, how my shape affected the type of bra, and brought out several options. I landed on the <a href="http://www.dillards.com/p/natori-hidden-glamour-full-fit-lace-trim-contour-underwire-bra/503402112?di=03777892_zi_cafe&categoryId=480&facetCache=pageSize%3D96%26beginIndex%3D0%26orderBy%3D1" target="_blank">Natori Hidden Glamour</a>. As soon as I put it on, I knew it was the one. k, no more bra talks LOL.<br />
<br />
6. I found <a href="https://familyshare.com/26288/how-to-reset-your-wife-when-shes-falling-apart" target="_blank">this article</a> through Facebook and found it to be fitting. I've really been feeling the weight of motherhood lately. We're going through a trying season of life and I'm getting tired. We're <i>hopefully </i>nearing the end.<br />
<br />
7. There's a lot going on here at The Pike Five! I've gotten the hang of this whole blogging experience, again. In addition to <a href="http://pikesplaceblog.blogspot.com/search/label/SQT" target="_blank">SQT</a>, I've also started <a href="http://pikesplaceblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Thursday%20Threads" target="_blank">Thursday Threads</a> and posts about our <a href="http://pikesplaceblog.blogspot.com/search/label/girl%20scouts" target="_blank">Girl Scout meetings! </a><br />

We are participating in the GSCI patch program "<a href="https://www.girlscoutsindiana.org/content/dam/girlscouts-girlscoutsindiana/documents/IPromisedAGirlScoutIWouldVote.pdf" target="_blank">I Promised A Girl Scout I Would Vote</a>". Meeting nine focused on steps one and two. I think the parents and I were more excited about this patch program than the girls, haha. I'm glad that GSCI offered it though. I think it's important to teach the girls early on about voting, women's rights, and democracy. We had a guest speaker from <a href="http://inkidselection.com/" target="_blank">Indiana Kid's Election</a>. She was great with the girls and really got them to open up and participate. </div>

Ashley taught the girls about who was eligible to vote, how to register, and what the voting process looks like, She also talked about how voting has changed to include women and minorities.</div>

<b>Step 2 - Who Represents Me?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When asked, "who is running for President?" all the hands went up! It was amazing to see how these little minds had already been shaped and formed opinions. We live in a dominant Republican state but there were a few girls who respected both candidates. They wanted to know if Ashley had voted, and more importantly, who she had voted for. She thankfully didn't divulge all the information. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3 - Get The Word Out</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We sent home baggies with voter buttons and instructions. The girls are to encourage five adults to vote on election day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will complete steps four and five at our next field trip! We are visiting a local polling station on election day. The girls made thank you cards and will hand them out to poll workers. They also made signs and will cheer on voters!</div>

I have a confession. I only wash my hair about three times a month. I trained my hair about three years ago, and I'm not looking back. *I do shower every day.*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Train you say? Yes, train. Just like any part of your body, you have to teach it how to work the way you want it to. Chances are you're not just going to stop washing your hair for a week or more and have it work properly. You have to ease into it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To do so, you need to push it a little bit further each week. Normally wash your hair every day? Try two days before you wash. Then try to go three days, fours days, and so on. Push it each time. You also need to find the right products. Dry shampoo will be your best friend. I'm currently using Batiste and loving it, but I've tried several different kinds with success. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have thick hair that doesn't have a lot of natural oil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Day ONE, Monday - I washed my hair in the morning and let it air dry over the course of the day. I really dislike blow drying my hair. It takes way too long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day TWO, Tuesday - I curled my hair with a flat iron. I tried to limit the amount of product I used. Light hair spray only.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day FOUR, Thursday - Still no heat or product. I usually pull my hair back like this. I get tired of it being in my face but also don't want to wear a pony tail.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day FIVE, Friday - I have girl scout meetings on Fridays and I normally wear my hair pulled back. I used dry shampoo for the first time and also hair spray. I tease my hair for added volume.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day SIX, Saturday - I used dry shampoo and hair spray. I also touched up my curls with the flat iron.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6rVQ4dNAS74/WBPdRd2VZUI/AAAAAAAAMYM/M1cwI88vHQU8OsE6aExgIQtH0X9bfMRGwCEw/s1600/DSC_2470.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6rVQ4dNAS74/WBPdRd2VZUI/AAAAAAAAMYM/M1cwI88vHQU8OsE6aExgIQtH0X9bfMRGwCEw/s640/DSC_2470.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day SEVEN, Sunday - More dry shampoo and hair spray. We went to a party so I touched up my curls a bit. I tried to be careful about the amount of product I used. If I'm not careful my hair starts to get really dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Day EIGHT, Monday - I spent the day at home cleaning. Pulled my hair into a messy bun while I showered and just left it. I don't wear my hair like this a lot because I noticed I have damage in the areas where it's pulled too tight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day TEN, Wednesday - My hair was feeling pretty gross by this day. I was just too lazy to wash it.<br />
<br />
So there you have it! I'd say my favorite hair days are normally five through seven. All of the hard part is done :) Good luck!<br />

1. Finley has never had much hair. She's two and a half now and I've only trimmed her bangs once. She has these two long pieces on either side of her head. When she was younger, we used to joke and call her Smeagol. Now, she looks just like Carol Brady. </div>

2. I don't change the part in my hair very often, but after this last wash it decided to go the other direction. I don't hate it, but it's definitely taking some getting used to. </div>

3. My birthday is Monday. I'll be twenty-eight. Ugh, that's like an adult number. It's practically thirty, which means mostly fifty and that's pretty much game over. Ha! It's not that bad. But I'm starting to feel my age. I've got a lot of grays and a few little wrinkles. I didn't bounce back after this last baby and this arm skin isn't as taught as it once was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. My house was so out of control after fall break that I had to ask my in-laws to watch Oliver while I cleaned. It's nearly impossible to get anything really cleaned with a baby and a toddler running around. Oliver is afraid of the vacuum and screams the entire time. </div>

5. Currently rereading <a href="http://www.bookseriesinorder.com/donovan-creed/" target="_blank">the Donovan Creed series</a>. I don't know anyone who's read them, but I enjoy them! They're easy and fast to get through. Sometimes you need a little fluff to get through the day. I'm also reading Stephen King in chronological order. That takes a little bit more brain power.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

6. Speaking of birthdays, I'm currently loving <a href="http://mindymaesmarket.com/" target="_blank">Mindy Mae's Market</a>. I haven't gotten anything from there yet, but I did put a gift card on my birthday list! Here's hoping.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hard to believe we've already had eight meetings! This scout year is just flying by! We split the girls into groups at the beginning of the meeting to focus on journeys. Later, we brought everyone together to work on the Brownie Dancer badge. I'm kicking myself because we didn't get any photos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bucket of Feelings</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls were to sit in a circle and share how they were feeling. A helper explained how they could feel more than one emotion at a time. They then took turns expressing how they felt. They could use words or movement. The girls were all handed a piece of paper and were asking to draw or write their feelings and then place them in the bucket.</div>

We then brought all the levels together to work on the Brownie Dancer badge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1 - Warm up</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stood in a circle and did group stretches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2 - Try A New Dance</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I played a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4ms0mPi_Vo" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> about dancercise. The girls followed along with the video.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3 - Learn An Old Dance</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this step we watched another <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-avipfNKqxQ" target="_blank">video</a> about swing dancing. I wanted to find a dance that was popular during the time girl scouts was founded. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>Step 4 - Make Up A Dance</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we have such a large group we broke the girls into pairs. They spent about ten minutes coming up with their signature move. </div>

<br /></div>

<b>Step 5 - Dance for Parents</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pairs took turns showing off their moves to the group and parents. They had so much fun doing this! They came up with a lot of really creative moves!</div>
