A special overnight event...

This past weekend, the big sister was invited to spend the night at Grammy & Papa's house (okay, so maybe we asked them to take her for the weekend!)

They had big plans: to make a sash, like a Girl Scout would wear. The big sister got this idea from the movie UP. The little boy in the movie needed to earn a badge for his Boy Scout sash...so, the big sister wanted her own sash too!!

Being the great sewer that she is, Grammy agreed to help!











Take a look at that wonderful sash -- she's earned a popcorn badge (for watching a movie with Grammy), a pj party badge (for spending the night), a "me and my gal" badge (for being Grammy's gal for the weekend), a Cars badge (of course!) a soccer badge, a butterfly badge, a helping hands bead (for helping her little brother stop crying), heart bead (for showing love to a little boy at the babysitter's) and a star bead (for being a shining star -- having a positive attitude). So, I'd say she's on her way to becoming a full-fledged Girl Scout -- without even joining the 'real' scouts!

I don't know which I like more, the sash, WHICH ROCKS! Or the fact that you call your parents the same things we call mine, Grammy & Papa. :o)

Big Sister is SO DANG CUTE!

And what did mom and dad get to do for the weekend?

we are reilly said...

we actually spent the day shopping and running errands, but in such a nice relaxed manner -- not having to rush around before meltdowns occured!

I hope you meant Grammy is a great seamstress and not really a "sewer" LOL!

Hey, Sal, I saw that "sewer" reference, too, but I chose to look beyond the obvious and when for love behind it!!!
