Know where I’m happiest these days? On the tennis court!
I think Maxwell is liking the tennis court too!
This is after an epic match with two tiebreakers that he won!
Love Love!
Just a dusting
About two weeks ago we woke up to just a dusting of snow! But it did give the kids a chance to try out their new ski clothes!
One final (hopefully!) spring freeze!
Sick
Well…things were really nice two weekends ago until they weren’t! Maxwell was out with friends on Saturday night so Robert and I took the Bobbseys for dinner and ice cream. I mean…look how cute?!
And Spencer with that C is for Cookie ice cream as blue as his eyes!
Unfortunately, we got to see that blue ice cream again all over his bed and carpet around midnight. The stomach bug hit and hit hard! It was disastrous…but we handled it. We even rented a steam cleaner Sunday morning and miraculously saved his carpet. WOW. He does have a new mattress now though! Poor, poor Spencey. He was so sick.
On Tuesday I got the dreaded call from the school nurse and Samantha came home looking like this…
Uh oh. Yep, she got hit too but thankfully hers was much milder than her brother’s. I was also prepared so kept everything contained.
By Wednesday we were hoping the worst was behind us…but no. I started feeling off but tried to power through and go to Spencer’s baseball game. That was a mistake. I left a lot of myself at the ballpark that night. It was a loooong night and truly the sickest I ever remember feeling. Pure misery. Not quite a week later and I’m much better but still not 100%. I’ll get there.
Fingers crossed Maxwell and Robert escape it! Go away germs!
Green!
We didn’t get pinched!
Make it a great weekend!
Crossover ceremony
Maxwell had his crossover ceremony last weekend officially graduating from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. It was a really special afternoon for a very special group of boys. This crew started with 13 boys in 1st grade and 11 of them have stuck together through all of Cub Scouts! That’s a lot of meetings, campouts and pinewood derbies and I’m very proud of them all!
They earned their Arrow of Light and Robert got to try and get that pin on the pocket! No pressure! ha!
Cub scouts has been such a great experience for Maxwell. Mostly, he’s had a lot of fun because he’s gotten to do it with his best buddies and the very best Dad around! However, the differentiator for this troop was their Scoutmaster, John Scott. He has been a top notch leader, encourager, and supporter of these boys since day one. They simply would not have all stuck it out and made it this far without him.
This motley crew is headed in two directions for Boy Scouts – half going to one troop and half going to the other. Everyone is making the right decision for themselves but it is sad to see the group split up. So thankful for the years they had together and the memories made.
I sure am proud of my scout!
I can’t wait to see how far he goes in Boy Scouts. He went to his first meeting Tuesday night and I think he’s got Eagle on his mind! It all happened to fast from first year as a Tiger…
to first year as a Boy Scout!
Scout’s honor!
