Wrapping things up

We wrapped up lots of things at the end of November.  We had our last co-op day.  Gwyn got to beat the boys at Munchkin one last time.  To be fair, they ganged up on her and beat her too, but that's ok.  It took their combined efforts.

Gwyn also had her first swim meet.  Can you tell she didn't want me to take her picture?

Celee had a nerf gun war at Grace with all the other 4th-5th graders.  They had a general melee in the mini-auditorium.  Then later they played capture the flag throughout the church.  I got to shoot a few hand darts too.  Most kids didn't actually put themselves "out" when they got hit, but it was still a lot of fun.

And the girls decided to have a spa in our kitchen.  They made a banana mash mask and painted it on each other's faces.  They put cucumbers on eyes.  They soaked, scrubbed, and massaged feet.  They even put flower petals in the water.  Other than the uber uncomfortable seat, it was very relaxing - as long as Lyla wasn't the one painting your face.  She's a bit too excitable for painting faces.

Also on the last day of co-op, the kids got to break boards in HapKido.  Lyla's friend Megan was her guest that day so she got to chop wood too!  Lyla was so proud, she still has these three pieces of broken wood in her closet.

Gwyn and two more Cadettes led Lyla's Girl Scout meeting.  They talked about some attributes of a Girl Scout like creativity, kindness, honesty, etc. Then they made fruit kabobs with each fruit representing an attribute.  So each girl made a kabob that represented herself.  So my little kabab is a funny, smart, kind, and creative little Brownie.
