Scout Night

The boys had a great day at school today!  Danny brought home his Thursday papers and to say that I am proud is a serious understatement.  He did so good and he was just as happy.  He takes school very seriously and I am glad that he has a lot of pride in his work.
After School care was great.  It was actually a really small group and since the pre-school had us pretty much confined to the gym it was probably a blessing.
The boys and I headed straight from the gym to the lunchroom for scout night.  We had four Tiger Cubs sign up and two more applications went to parents who could not make it.  We also got a Bear cub which is awesome.  The best part was one of the dad's for the Tiger cubs jumped right in and wants to be a leader, which is awesome.  I was prepared to do it if nobody wanted to, but it looks like he is really excited about it.  YAY!  Of course I will still be involved, but it will be nice not to have to stress about something.

It is never too late to sign up for scouts so if you have a 1st-5th grade boy and you want to sign up for scouting please let me know!

Gearing Up

Today was sort of progressive for me but also has me a little more stressed out than I like to be. I am going to continue to pray for answers to what is needed and go from there.

I was able to get Amanda's second maternity session done, check out my blog at http://www.monicaannephotography.com/ for more on that. I was glad to get it done for her though as it looks like Alexa could arrive any day! It is just a waiting for now. Praying for a healthy and happy mom and baby!

The boys had a great day at school, which makes me feel really good. John Michael drew a self portrait and it was so cute! Danny had a lot of homework, but came home and got it done, which really made me feel good. John Michael ended up with a yellow face today, which meant he was in trouble when he came home. He was not happy about it, but did understand. This time it was for talking...no surprise there! At least it was not hitting someone with his lunchbox again. Tuesdays seem to be his yellow days which make mommy a little sad. Hopefully tomorrow we will be back to green smiley faces, those make us all happy. He did get his homework done with no problems. His favorite part of course is reading, which I love to do so that is always great. Today was Dr. Suess "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut." This is a great one! Of course I am a huge Dr. Suess fan, always have been!

I have to get my office cleaned out, but I am also having to focus on the fact that tomorrow night is Scout Night. Hoping for a lot of new guys to join us! Say a little pray for our pack to continue to grow!

John Michael is playing soccer at St. Francis! This is something he has been so ready to do and now is his turn. His first practice is Thursday. With Scout Night tomorrow night, we went tonight and got his shoes. He was so excited, Academy had the shoes, shin guards, and a ball all packaged together. He was so cute, and cannot wait to go to practice. I am really excited too! Probably because he is...soccer is not really my thing, but I can and will learn. He was so funny when we got home and he wanted to try it all on again, and then he wanted his regular socks and could not decide if he should wear them over or under his shin guards....funny guy!

Well, I am off hopefully to bed soon. Going to work on a few pictures and some homework and then get to bed. I have a super busy week on all levels so I am thinking sleep might have to be deprived. Know that you will all always be in my thoughts and prayers.
