Time Article about Haiti Breastmilk Donations

Unfortunately there are no adequate places to store breast milk in Haiti so they have asked women to stop donating for the moment. Here is the story in Time Magazine: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1953379_1953494_1957614,00.html

A Day for Goats

Our Girl Scout Troop took a field trip to a local Goat Farm today. Wesmar Farms is located in Moreauville, LA and is a great place to get soap, cheese and more all made from goats milk. The girls had lots of fun playing with the baby goats, and even learned some great info about how the goats are raised and the process behind the products being sold. They were able to taste the milk, different flavors of cheese, and ice cream. A very fun day indeed!

Girls Night

The boys left for a weekend of camping with the Boy Scouts. So, what are the girls to do? Well, we got a free rental from Redbox and spent the evening watching a movie and eating popcorn. We rented "Julie & Julia". Cute movie and very much a chick flick but fun to watch.

The Popcorn Is Here!

We picked up our shipment of popcorn yesterday. Our scout pack sold over $5000.00 worth of popcorn this year. They beat last years pack record by a land slide.

The District Executive had our order neatly stacked and ready to go when we arrived yesterday afternoon. When we got to the church several parents came over and helped sort orders which made the process go surprisingly fast. Half the orders were picked up last night and the rest should be picked up at our scout meeting on Tuesday.

Now all my son has to do is deliver his orders to the right people:)
