Busy Bees

Hello hello!

So, seriously, not being on Facebook anymore feels weird. Really weird. I'm totally cool with it and still don't regret the decision but it feels strange. When you've been using something like that for so long, it's hard to get the "status thing" out of your head. (I just thought I'd share that with you.)

We had a fabulous week last week - busy but fabulous! I am no closer to figuring out how the butterflies are coming in but since we are officially hitting winter (what?!) they're going away. I guess that gives me a few months to figure it out. =) And yes, I am very jealous of you guys and your 65 degree (or whatever) weather. So jealous! The high for us today is 48. (Boo!) We have officially brought out the heavy winter coats and gloves. I am not excited about this - just so you know.

Anyway, back to our fabulous week. Halloween was amazing. Rushed and crazy at first, but the kids had a blast! The girls don't get home until 4:30 so I had one hour to give them snack, feed them dinner, and zombify Kierstin. We'd heard from our Brit neighbors that trick or treating isn't as big here in our village as it is in the States so we headed to base to partake in the American festivities (lol) and it was super fun. We went out with some friends for trick-or-treating and then back to another friend's house to hang out and have fun afterward. The kids ate like 90% of their candy before the night was done and then crashed from the excessive sugar. (My plan was complete!!) Thankfully they didn't have school the next day so they could spend the day recovering. :)

There's a few of my pictures from the evening. 

Saturday, the girls had their Girl Scout Investiture Ceremony. We got to watch the girls recite their Girl Scout Promise and Law and be welcomed into the family of overseas Girl Scouts. It was kind of an emotional day for this mama. Girl Scouts was an important part of my childhood and I am so happy that they are joining and becoming part of such a great organization.

My sweet little Girl Scouts 

So that's it for now. We actually have kind of a slow(er) week this week. (Yay!) But I'm sure there will be lots popping up soon to tell you about.


Much love!
