These are my Try-it's. They require a little more work to earn than other patches and are special only to Brownie Girl Scouts.

These are the fun patches. They go on the back. You earn them for doing fun actvities or going to someplace special. I have a few more coming in from Fall Fundraiser.

ANOTHER boo boo

2009-10-11T09:48:00.002-04:00

So i fell down yesterday and got hurt bad! My lip is all busted up and i knocked 2 of my teeth crooked. We went to the Dr.'s and they said i was fine. I can't eat very good and it still hurts sometimes. Everyone cross thier fingers my teeth can stay until i am big enough for my grown up teeth!

(one front tooth and the one next to it were knocked backwards and we are hoping once the swelling goes down to take him to the dentist. I hope the nerves and roots are fine and they don't die. i can't believe i lost my lil boys precious smile. we are hoping the teeth can remain, crooked, until his adult teeth come in. i would rather have crooked than none at all. we are also hoping it doesnt affect his speech too much either)

Just like....

Natural Bridge Caverns

On Sunday after we picked Mom up from the airport we were suppose to go to 6 flags. We didnt know that they were closed for Halloween decorating. So we found a brochure on Natural Bridge Caverns and went there.

Sometimes it was spooky, sometimes it was slippery.

Texas has also got ALOT greener now that we had so much rain. Everything is so much prettier!
