Sticky fingers and more tweenage drama

after putting it off for as long as I can, I finally got around to working on the bridge that I'll need for our Girl Scout ceremony tomorrow night.  I still haven't finished it yet...and the last bit will be done at the location.  But today I got the rails for the bridge cut out and made from two very large sheets of cardboard.  Then with Darly's help I painted them white and glued on Girl Scout Daisies to the one side.  (originally I was going to do all this cutting to make the bridge look like it had rails, but laziness won out!)  But the glueing is what lead to the sticky fingers... I used spray adhesive to glue on the daisies...and of course I got tons on my left hand.  :p  so while I'm typing, I'm sticking to my keyboard.

and now for the tweenage drama...

Darly was helping me with all the bridge work, sighed and said "I won't get to cross the bridge tomorrow."  To which I replied that she was wrong because I'm going to have all the girls cross the bridge.  And being the argumentative tweenager that she is she had to keep on arguing...and then declaired "Well, I'm still not crossing the bridge!"  and I told her that she HAS to cross the bridge cuz everyone else is and she'll be left out.  She then stromed off...to which I told her to "Quit it!"

This isn't going to be fun!

  2. I tried to leave a comment and your blog ate it: it seems to be doing that a lot lately 8-)

    I'm confused. Darly is confusing me. I don't get the drama queen behavior. One minute she's upset about not being able to go over the bridge... and then you say she can go and she doesn't want to?

    Crazy girl. :)
