Teppy, I linked you to the Girl Scouts site where they sell the badges.

I sewed Owen a Sock puppet this morning. I found a cheap kit at Half Price Books on Monday.

We're out of rainy day activities. We started drawing with markers. Moved on to playdoh (Olivia choked on a piece and barfed). When she went down for her nap, we sewed Dragon. Owen won't take him off now.

My mom was our brownie troop leader. We never got past the brownie stage (although we did go to camp one year).

I got surprised by my co workers! They made me lunch -- veggie lasagna and chocolate cake! Which is a big deal since I'm the only one in the office that likes chocolate. Plus I got flowers and cards and another ballon.

I'm totally spoiled and now I don't have to worry about the lunch thing.

I can be no help with the badges, I wasn't in Brownies long enough to earn a badge.

Poor Olivia. I'll have to wait until I'm home to see Owen and Dragon (work blocks flickr).

That's great, askye!

Now that Owen's hair has grown out, he looks like such a mod.

Hec, I'm loathe to cut it or have anyone else touch it. As long as it's no trouble and it's not in his eyes, I'm going to leave it alone. DH has muttered about the trimmers a few times.

I may submit later in the summer but for now, I just love the way it looks.

I just love the way it looks.

He's always been handsome but now he looks cool!

If aimee is around, check out the top story in today's Dining and Wine section of the NYT.

How great, askye! Way to go co-workers.

Cutie head Owen. Dragon looks good, too.

Hey Cindy! Happy belated birthday to Christopher! It's funny to see his daunting intellect turned towards Spongebob minutia. It's a Spongebob generation, I think.

Previous generations were Sesame Street, and Disney Musicals On VHS.

Emeline is going to The Yellow Balloon today o get a haircut. I want her to have a little bob with bangs for the summer.
