Girl Scouts

Although our plans were altered due to an impending snow storm, we still had a blast at the cabin.  The plan was to spend the night but the weather had other ideas and with several inches of snow on the ground before morning, we decided against the sleep over and just did a mom and me fun night.

We made sit upons, went on a short hike, played games, had a yummy dinner and roasted marshmallows by the campfire!  The girls had a great time and I think we were all thankful to have been sleeping in our own beds that evening, rather than on the floor with 17 loud girls "trying to sleep."

Check out this video...this has been a constant noise from 7:45 this morning haha!!

Football season has arrived which means all the men in our family start using "uh huh" and "mmmm hmmm" as their main vocabulary.  This is especially true on draft day when all of them gather at the Sims house for good food and lots and lots of football talk!  The girls make sure they are "seen and not heard" on this day and usually congregate far away from the madness that ensues inside.  Picture this: 15 or so guys huddled over pages and pages of spreadsheets listing every football player worth anything in the NFL, scrambling to make just the right pick, only to receive 'smack' talk from all the other guys about how that wasn't the pick they would have made.  Bret doesn't mess around and has a larger than life poster to list all the draft picks with color coordinated stickers.....Im telling you if you haven't experienced this you won't believe your eyes!!  Once the draft if over (after about two hours of the above craziness) they a...
