Girlguiding District Sleepover – Day 1

Well folks it’s pretty late.  The sleepover got off to a great start.  The girls as bouncing around to the DJ fueled by Sprite and cookies so they should be a BLAST for the leaders tonight!  Everything that had to be delivered tonight made it – and in fact everything was early which completely threw [...]

After school in Lego City

Tonight is the Guiding Sleepover in celebration of British Girlguides in Foreign Countries being 100 years old.  Anita has been organizing it for the last couple of weeks in her capacity with FOG – not for nothing but catering dinner, snack, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and cake for 100+ girls is not exactly a cake [...]

Getting ready for the Girlguiding Centennial Celebration.

Now this has been explained to me several times and has something to do with the differences between British Girlguiding and British Girlguiding in Foreign Countries but by my count this the third year we’ve had a centennial celebration.  This year all the guides (Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, & Senior Section) are getting together for an [...]

The Water Cycle

Sydney’s class is studying weather in science and specifically this week – the water cycle.  Their assignment was to make a poster that described the entire cycle.  They had to label it using their vocab words then use the definitions on the poster too.  Check out what my Sweetpea came up with. She sketched out [...]

Crazy local tricks…

Crazy local tricks…

This was in today’s paper – so it must be true. My favorite part would be that the cops called the father of the two girls who were FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY and he couldn’t be bothered to come get his two arrested children (one of which apparently IS A CHILD) because he was “busy.”  So [...]

Sydney and her cats…

So ever since we moved into the Villa Al Godwin III there have been a clowder of neighborhood cats that have decided they live in front of our house.  When we first moved in there were a couple.  Since then momma has had two litters that we’ve seen and the number has grown substantially.  Since the [...]

SOPA & PIPA Explained

“The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It [...]

The girls went shopping

Anita is on a few committees this year and one of the big ones is the FOG (Friends of Guiding – Guides being the UK Girl Scouts) committee.  Its really a pretty big deal as this is the committee that supports all of the Rainbows, Brownies, and Guides in Kuwait.  Obviously a big part of [...]

Letter of the day

So way back in 2011 I was watching the O’Reilly Factor (thank you TiVo & Slingbox!) and as has been the case for many years Bill was doing a segment on the defense of Christmas. You know – from all those lefty, statist, atheist, nutjobs who want to force stores to say ‘Happy Holidays’, keep [...]
