Lilly update

Lilly joined Daisies this year.  It was the only extra curricular activity that she sought out on her own.  The meetings are once a month so I thought, how bad can it be?

 It's bad.  The patches are out of control.  Your Daisy can earn all these patches based on the work you, as the adult, do. It completely manipulates the parent into actively participating and fundraising!  I got suckered into staying for the meeting tonight because if a parent is not present they don't earn a light bulb patch.  Ahh!! I was really hoping for some low key extra curricular activities for my kindergartner.  We have work to do at home, monthly field trips, flowers to plant. Seriously?!?

Last weekend Lilly said: "Dad,  if we run for 15 minutes, and jump rope, and ride bikes for 60 minutes, then you will feel better...because Obama the Mom told us so."  The next day she reiterated the same sentiment to me via Obama the Mom.  This was her reasoning for needing a new jump rope.

Yesterday she asked me what made fog.  I told her it had something to do with water molecules but she thought the clouds were just coming closer to the earth.

Today she asked me why the leaves changed color in the Fall.  I told her I wasn't sure but that maybe it had to do with cold weather.  She told me it was probably the rain. The rain washed off all the green to show the other colors.  I told her that was a much better idea.

Oh and I made soup. In a pumpkin. Take that Good Housekeeping!

Last week sometime Lilly finally convinced me to get a feather in her hair. She has been begging for months and months and I finally caved.  That child is going to be like her Aunt Jessamyn with fashion and style.

This concludes the Lilly update.
