girl scout camp, and moving, and a birthday, and the 4th of July, oh my!

Internet, finally available in our home sweet home.  A few weeks without it, and the most eventful few weeks this year thus far. 
Girl Scout camp was a blast, especially for me since I had the TAGS, (the tiny tot sibs of the girl scouts whose moms volunteered.)  We did a simplified version of most of the big kid activities.  From cooking to knives (with play-doh!) we walked in the big girls footsteps.  Miss D, had a great time too, once she realized that being the baby didn't mean being boss.  By mid-day of day 2 she was in the swing of things!  Her favorite activities were on days 3 &4, the HORSES, and the zip line.  She can't wait until she's 13 and can have a whole week of horse camp...although she's not convinced yet that she will have to muck the stalls.
Turn around and say, we're moving three times..and over the next 3 weekends we did!  Finally!  Our new to us home is paradise.  It couldn't be more perfect.  I stepped outside once last week and thought "ick!  It's so hot!"  Then I stepped inside, so grateful that I didn't have a clue how hot it was outside until then.  What a dramatic change from the other house!  This home is such a blessing to us, such things as a working full sized oven and main floor laundry are gifts I will never cease to appreciate.
Just like our lovely Miss D appreciated her birthday bonanza.  She helped make her cake, received a "baby" unicorn pillowpet to go with her big one, and a baby doll that looks a lot like her. Grilled chicken and grandparents and games.  A perfect day for the princess.
The next day was pretty perfect too.  Camp grandma claimed their campers, and those of us left behind went to watch the Olathe fireworks show.  It wasn't super crowded and we had a perfect view.  It was Si guy's first one.  He seemed to really like the shapes and colors.
A few days to recover, and continue to unpack.  Today, our internet was finally hooked up.  Its nice to be connected again.
