tearing down the castle

who doesn't want to be a princess?

well, apparently cassie doesn't want to be a princess. i loved this wallpaper border with the pretty castle. cassie did not. it is her room, after all.

so yesterday we started to demolish the beautiful fairy tale castle. it was a sad day for me, but my little princess seemed to enjoy it. the new loft bed (ordered a month ago) has not arrived, but she does have her new bedding, purple shag rug, hot pink accent lamp, and the decorative wall stickers.today we'll finish cleaning off the wallpaper adhesive and take down the shelf and buy the paint. maybe we'll paint the room tonight.

today it is snowing. tomorrow we'll be camping. in a cabin. in the snow. i don't love camping, but a girl scout leader's gotta do what a girl scout leader's gotta do. send warm thoughts, please!

Cassie does look very happy about taking down the castle.

Cabin looks cute. Not snowing at the time of the pictures...

It's cold here. I had a dream last night that i went to Alaska. You were going to introduce me to your new "man friend".

Why did the girl scout leader decide that a December camping trip in Alaska was a good idea? Just curious.

we were camping out (in tents) last fall, and it was so peaceful, and i said "wouldn't it be pretty to camp out here in the snow?"

and then about six weeks ago, i missed the troop meeting because i was sick, and the girls planned a campout and reserved the cabin.

it will be fun.

right?

Sure, it will be fun. Keep telling yourself that. And pack the leftover rum from the Christmas Day pirate marathon. :)

Wow looks like a fun time, camping in the snow. Thats the only way I would do it, by staying in a cabin, boy scouts or girl scouts.
Tents are great but they have their limits. Have fun with the gril scouts, oh and don't miss any more meetings, thats when you get volunteered.
