Cub Scouts

We have been inundated with cub scouts this week. Mike has decided that I needed some motivation to help J get his wolf requirements finished. I think I scored in this set up. If we get cracking and he earns his wolf by the next pack meeting I may just be getting my zoom lens I have been wanting for my camera for a Christmas/b-day present. :) So we have been working like crazy. Mike has definitely taken the lead and we have gotten tons done this week. J helped me plan meals and cook and clean up. We picked up trash around the neighborhood (including half full beer cans) with latex gloves for protection. Mike and J barbecued. J was not happy because he almost lost a burger to the flames. This next week we are going to go to a recycling place at our dump, and learn about safety at home and outside. We are working on chores and his everyday to do list to keep himself clean and healthy. We are busy!

This time of year brings lovely sunsets. And for some reason, with the rotation of the earth, the sun sets in a lovely place with our view right now. It is not always there, some times of the year it sets off to the right a bit and we don't see it from our deck. But these last few days we have been enjoying the beautiful sunsets.

Here is a picture I took:


Seriously, gorgeous!

I have promised my mother in law a video of D walking, but the one I have is too dark. You can't see anything on it, so I will have to record another one. :) i will post one soon. :)
