I told them mom won't let us until next week. They weren't happy over that. Now I saw they unhappy...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/569574I had a very interesting experience today while out and about with the kids. I had my two boys and the daughter of some of our friends who I was watching for them. We were a the mall and stopped in the Lego Store. Right way I noticed a young man falling over and hurried over to see if I could...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/553914My 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...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/552801Today 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,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/548669Both 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. We are talking like eight hours straight of running around doing everything. As soon as they had a few minutes...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/544622Last night at our monthly Pack meeting for Cub Scouts, my son was awarded his first pocket knife. He earned it by selling Scout Show tickets. It really meant a lot to him to get it. I was a little surprised at how excited he was over it. When he picked it as his prize, we were a little reluctant,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/543155I 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...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/539904We better be. I just spent all afternoon and evening working on getting our Jungle Maze up and going. It ahs been an interesting project. The scouts have been working hard on it, although it often seemed liked the parents were more into it. I love how it really got everyone in the Pack working...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/535126This 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'. It will be a min-maze kind of thing that I very much want to make feel like a lost temple kind of like the one we see at the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/kooka_lives9842/529791My youngest son turns five this Easter. Most likely this will be the only time his birthday ever falls on Easter, since the next time this will happen is going to be 2160. It is the 2nd earliest possible day of the year for Easter to take place on, with March 22nd being the only possible earlier...
