Boxes for bones

Andy took E around to some local pizza parlors today to ask for clean pizza boxes. That was her job as her Girl Scout troop participates in the One Million Bones project. The girls have been making bones out of clay, then have to let the bones dry on the clean boxes before they're fired in a kiln. They'll also use the boxes to transport the bones to Springfield for a demonstration on April 28. E got 10 boxes from two different places and one at another (really, that's all they could spare?). So she has a total of 21 so far. And an Irving mom might be giving her some pizza boxes that she has been storing in her basement. She said not to ask why, so we won't. :)

Also today, Andy took B and his visiting-from-Ohio friend, L, to mini golf this morning. Then they had lunch at Culver's. E and I went to Oakbrook so she could show me all the cool stores she went in with cousin C earlier this week. We also found her a pair of white sandals for the bone demonstration. L spent the afternoon hanging out at our house, joined by IB later in the day. L's mom picked him up at 5 p.m. When she got here, B said, "Are you here to take L away?" She took him to the friends' house where they were staying for the weekend with plans to leave for Ohio in the morning. He even let B keep his Nintendo 64 and a few games. His mom said it would be fine if the entire system "got lost" before they returned to Oak Park. Guess she doesn't want it in her house anymore.
