BRRRRRRRRR!

This is so not my idea of fun! Trevor went snow camping with his Boy Scout Troop. We bought him more thermals and borrowed snow gear. They camped one night. Trevor and Josh shared a tent. They played in the snow and went sledding. He had fun, but was exhausted when he got home. He was in bed before 7 that night.

It has been said...

" A good friend will come bail you out of jail... a true friend will be sitting there beside you saying, "Dang, that was fun!""

When we had our pack popcorn sale we did a contest that the top seller would get to silly string a leader. Since we only had 3 boys sell popcorn we decide to let all of them silly string! Jake got to silly string me, I think it was the highlight of his life so far!

Blue and Gold Dinner

Last night was our pack's Blue and Gold dinner. Set up this year went MUCH smoother than last year. My car did not roll across the street and hit a mailbox (giving me an even more stressful day!). And I had many friends show up to help set up. The cultural hall looked great (notice the stars in the background, it really did look good!). Everything went off as planned. Jake got the volleyball belt loop and 4 Silver Arrow Points (That means he did 40 extra things from his book). Take down went smoothly and then I came home to colapse. All in all a good night!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Robert closes tonight so we had no romantic plans. I decided to host a fun boys night instead. We invited over a few friends and had heart shaped pizza and heart sugar cookies. They are playing video games and having a great night.

Actually said at my house this morning...

Today was Scout Sunday. So that means Trevor, Jacob and I wore our Scout uniforms to church. It is an even busier Sunday morning than usual because neckerchiefs and slides have to be straightened and I didn't have all of Jake's awards on his uniform so I was trying to fix that before church. With 9AM church Luke has taken to not getting up on Sundays so then we are in a mad dash out the door. Last Sunday I actually dressed him still asleep and took his breakfast with us so he could eat it after sacrament. (Rob worked so it was just me and 3 boys).
Anyways now we are to this morning. Trevor and Jake were finally ready, awards on uniforms, shirts tucked in and neckerchiefs straight. I was finally starting to get ready. Luke was awake but not dressed. Rob was trying to help him, but Luke wanted me. So here is the conversation...
Me (as I am putting on makeup) " Let Dad help you get ready. I can't help you, because I am busy making myself beautiful."
Rob "Yeah let me get you dressed, Mom needs all the time she can get."
To his credit he says he didn't mean it the way it came out, he was trying to get Luke ready for church and he has been very good about doing laundry today after church but he did say that I "need all the time I can get" to make myself beautiful so I think he is still in the dog house.

Life with boys!

I am not sure if this is everyone's life with boys or just mine. This is what I discovered today...

Luke stripped(his clothes were inside in the bathroom) and then decided he wanted to jump on the trampoline. Jake thought nothing of this and didn't think he should let me know. Then after I found him I decided I needed blackmail pictures and so I got the camera and started taking pictures. After a few pictures Luke saw me and said "Mom I naked" gave me two thumbs up and went right on jumping! I grabbed his clothes cause I didn't want anyone calling CPS on me. Some days I don't know if I will survive that youngest one!

Jake is student of the month!

Luke and I got to go see Jake get the student of the month award for determination. He is a good student and his teacher raves about him!
