A blog about Kyle and Rebecca's family
Recently Granny gave us a swing for the kids. It used to be at Laurel & Roine’s house back when Alex and Sylvia were small, but it went back to sit in Granny’s garage when they outgrew it. Granny really wanted to make sure that it got used by the kids and so she gave it to us because we have so many little ones. Since it has only ever been used inside, I thought it would be perfect to set it up downstairs as extra seating for when we are watching movies. 🙂
While I was at the cookie warehouse yesterday, Kyle took the kids to the home depot workshop. I guess they got there right before noon and so they just brought the project kits home and some of the kids were working on putting them together today. Even Adam was trying to use the tools.
By the way, these are so far the WORST projects that Home Depot has had for the kids. They are supposed to be the Trojan horse from the Mr Peabody and Sherman movie. They are on wheels and being left on the table they end up rolling off and losing a leg, or it’s head. Not a very sturdy project.
Girl Scout Cookies arrived this morning! Our troop was one of the first to pick them up this morning. I didn’t go this time because our troop cookie mom complained that we had too many people trying to help last year. That actually worked out though because when the service unit asked for some help at the warehouse I was able to volunteer, knowing my troops cookies were going to be taken care of. So I went and spent the whole morning counting cases of cookies at the warehouse. 🙂
This is the reason we drove through the night. So that we would for sure be back in time for the Blue and Gold. Jeremy didn’t receive any awards this time. But Kyle being the Webelos leader did have a boy receiving his Arrow of light and bridging to eleven year old scouts and we felt that it was important for Kyle to be here to support his scout in that.
The theme this year was “Where in the World”. So the invitations were on bits of map, and there were globes on the tables for decoration. Dinner was “walking tacos”, which was just chili with salad and chips and toppings. The leaders were the ones going around to serve the chili, so Kyle didn’t really get to sit with us much, but in general it was a good evening.
Dinah lost her first tooth! All of my children just keep growing up. Who said they can do that?
