Boy Scouts!

     So before the church made their announcement on the change/drop to the boy scout program we attended an Eagle Court of Honor Sunday. Carter got his first merit badge and we got to see Marcus, Mark's best friend, receive his Eagle award. Obviously the change to the scout program isn't going to affect us too much for the younger boys, at least not right now, but I for one, am so happy the church is finally making a change and hopefully it won't be much longer before they drop the whole program and do their own thing. I love the idea of scouts but the whole program is a bit much in my opinion. The activities and experiences are what really help these boys become men and awards and ceremony are not necessary in my opinion.

Carter's 11 year old scout leader has been awesome!

    These boys are pretty silly. We're super happy for Marcus though!

    And I know you're thinking, 'what is going on here', but sometimes you just have to give a little. In honor of Marcus' Eagle achievement he requested a motorcycle ride with his buddy and Greg very generously agreed to let Mark take our bike for a ride. Thankfully everyone and everything returned in one piece.

    And now I just have to brag on my youngest boy a little. Today at school his kindergarten class had their final library day and every child who returned their book got a bouncy ball from the librarian. One of the girls in McClane's class threw her ball up and it landed in a light fixture and the teachers decided to let her face the natural consequences of her bad choice to throw the ball and left her ball in the light fixture. Of course she was very upset so McClane gave her his ball. Proud-Mama-Moment for sure! He is a sweetie!

     So that's a few highlights from our week. Tomorrow I'm going bridal dress shopping with Kayli and her future mother-in-law, which is a little crazy but I'm sure will be fun. Stay tuned for photos! And only 10 more school days!!
