Today she had her friend Sydney, from girl scouts, over for a playdate. Margaret had been wanting to bake a loaf of "turtle bread" (shaped like turtles) for quite some time, so that made for a good activity for them. The loaves turned out very cute.

Margaret updates
Margaret got her latest book report back this week, and she did awesome! Thought we'd share...

Scrub a dub dub, two girls in a tub
They've pretty much outgrown bathing together, but every once in awhile they still want to play in the tub together. I couldn't resist getting a couple of pictures last time they did. I'm going to miss this...

Welcome cousin Logan!
Jennie and Brian have much better pictures of Logan, but we wanted to welcome him on our blog too. We got a chance to meet him last weekend, when he was 5 days old, and home from the hospital for just a couple days. Margaret and Caroline are VERY excited to have another baby cousin!

Margaret's Junior Girl Scout Camp-In
Margaret's girl scout troop had a sleepover this weekend, and it was jam-packed full of activities. I'm still recovering...
They cooked, and cooked, and cooked--their dinners, breakfasts, and an amazing array of healthy snacks. Here's Margaret preparing the strawberries for their smoothies.
They learned about accessorizing to look their best, and here's Margaret trying on a fashion forward hat and necklace.
On Saturday morning, they learned and practiced some new hair-dos. Here's Margaret giving her best friend Chloe a wrap braid.

The Young Scientist at work
Yesterday Caroline and I went to a Girl Scout science workshop: Intro to Rocketry. Caroline, our budding scientist, was in heaven! They engineered balloon-powered rockets and did some Alka Seltzer chemistry, and finally got to shoot off some cannister rockets outside. What a blast.
She can't wait for the Slime workshop in January!

Catching up... Halloween
This was the first year that Margaret was too "old" to take part in the Halloween parade at school, although the fourth graders still got to dress up and have a little party.
Grandma Gail and her kitty got into the act too...
Eskimo girl and Nancy Drew getting ready to head out and collect the goods! We trick-or-treated for a short time in Grandma's neighborhood, and then came back to ours where we went around with Maggie from up the street.
