Georgia has been practicing tying her shoes for a few weeks now. She had success tying both shoes on Sunday and I was able to document it today when she was getting ready for school. She is so proud of herself. I love the little smile on her face.

I found someone hiding in the fridge! Well, not really, the door wouldn't close with her standing there. Reminds me of when she was an infant and would pull herself up into the fridge anytime she could:

My house looks like a "cookie forest" according to the girls. I am surrounded by Girl Scout cookies! I really had no idea what I was getting into when I agreed to be Cookie Mom for the Troop. I didn't realize all the paperwork, special cookie training, and stress involved. I keep telling myself it's for a good cause and will be over soon. My co-leader, Debbie, and I went to pick up all 899 individual boxes of cookies this morning. Then I began the sorting process. Of course I miscounted somewhere along the line and had to go back and recount all the cookies. I spent a good 5-6 hours sorting and counting cookies. I'm sure counting and collecting the money will be yet another adventure! Wish me luck.
