Girl Scout Awards and a name

Two weekends ago we had the Girl Scout Awards ceremonies with all the different troops in LeMars. Well, technically not all the troops - but my girls leaders are good ones, so they made sure to involve their troops.  Here are pictures from their troops' stage appearances.  Apparently I am one of the only mothers who believes in dressing their kids up for awards ceremonies like this.  Okay, we did just come from church - but still. (Yes, at our church most kids don't come in jeans or sweatpants.)
Erica - 2nd from the right.
Emily - in the dress:
Erin in the white capris:
And Lizzie accomplished a feat the same weekend.  She attended a birthday party for her friend Jacob and she signed her entire name on his card!  You may have to enlarge (click) the picture to see it.  She is a very neat writer for being an early 4.  It took her a long time and I'm sure she won't be doing it again anytime soon.  lol.
