SWAPS

(SWAPS=Special Watchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere)

Did you know that’s what SWAPS are? I sure didn’t. I had to google it. I’m learning this as Reece has joined a Daisy’s troop (Girl Scouts). She was in this troop her Kindergarten school year and has decided to stick with it. At our first meeting for 1st grade Daisy’s, the girls were asked to make SWAPS and trade them with their Daisy friends. Here they are…

The goal is for the girls to make them or at least help quite a bit. Weeeeell I’m just going to go ahead and admit that Reece really didn’t do anything but add the safety pins at the end! Sorry but our to do list is really long around here and sometimes you just have to get things done quick and get it marked off. So of course I called in my craft expert…Morgan! She pretty much made all these cute little bake-able clay lollipops for Reece. Aren’t they so CUTE!!

Awesome job MoMo!! You are the best sister ever! I helped with the softening and rolling out of the clay. But overall Morgan gets all the credit and she even did this with a broken wrist. You rock! The daisy troop consists of 11 little girls in her grade at school. They meet one Tuesday a month right after school and do stuff. Ha! I say that they do “stuff” because I actually never made it to one single meeting last school year. Hey, at least I’m admitting it! I did help our leader pick up all the girl scout cookies and load them into her garage, so at least I did something! Here’s a little video clip of these precious little daisy’s…

Reecie Cups, you are the best Daisy girl ever and I promise I will make it to a meeting this year! pinky promise. love you sweet pea.

Going along with the Daisy’s theme of being kind and a good friend, look at this sweet note that Reece wrote to Olivia (our little Kindergarten neighbor)…
