THE MYSTERIOUS COOKIE CUTTER
My youngest son got a set of cookies cutters as a prize last week and he wanted to make cookies. Well today we made a batch and I went and dug out some other cookies cutters to use as well. One of them is a very odd shape and I have no idea at all as to what it is suppose to be. It almost looks like...

GETTING READY FOR HIS FIRST CAMPING TRIP
Today I am going to spend the day helping get my son ready for camp tomorrow. This will be his first camping trip. While this is not real camping, since the tents are already going to be set up and the food will be cooked for us, it still will be good for him. And if he stays active in Scouts, this...

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN THEM THIS BEAT BEFORE
Both of my boys are really out of it tonight. I've never seen them come down this hard before. Of course all day they were playing with my oldest boy's friend who I was watching today.

I was a little surprised at how excited he was over it. When he picked it as his prize, we were a little reluctant,...

I WANT TO VISIT THAT SWIMMING POOL
I went to pick up my five year old the other day and he had cut out a picture of what looked like a beach front hotel. He showed it to me and said we needed to go visit the swimming pool which was the main focus of the picture. Gotta love the priorities at that age. He has no idea where that hotel...

TIME TO HAVE SOME REAL FUN WITH SCOUTS
This year my son's pack is going to have a booth at the Scout Show. I have gone and volunteered to head this project up. We have named our project 'The Lost Jungle'.

HE DIDN'T GET A PART IN THE PLAY
I spent two hours yesterday sitting and watching as 148 kids went through the audition process the people running things had set up. It was long and interesting. They started off by telling all the kids what they wanted: #1 loud and clear voices, #2 expressive gestures and faces and #3 ability to...
