Maxwell’s class taking a “fall break”!
School is cool! We are so grateful for our awesome MBE!
Last weekend Robert and Maxwell loaded up their backpacks and headed out on a legit Boy Scout campout! This was no “car camping”, this was hike 3 miles in, pitch your tent, cook your dinner, sleep in the cold, and hike back the next morning! Whatever they needed, they had to carry!
Robert said they really had a great time. While it was chilly, it was pretty weather and they got to hike around Mt. Cheaha and enjoy the sites.
I think their camping food left a little to be desired but they survived and slept all warm and toasty in their sleeping bags with their hand and feet warmers!
I think they were hoping to earn another polar bear badge since it got down to 32, but apparently Boy Scouts is different than Cub Scouts and it has to get down to 19 degrees (!!) to earn that badge. No thank you!
Meanwhile, back at home, the Bobbseys and I had a lovely dinner in the warm club. My kind of night! 🙂
I’m proud of my campers and excited for them to go on more Boy Scout adventures!
When you live across the street from the school, you get asked to host the bible clubs for each of your kids’ grades. Samantha and Spencer’s meet in the morning and they got volunteers to bring breakfast, they teach a little bible lesson, and then they head on over to school. It really is sweet.
First grade…
Third grade…
Maxwell’s grade is more intense and they meet after school. I resisted for a long time but finally gave in this year and let them use GJ’s back yard! ha! It’s quite a crew of 5th grade boys over there each week.
The “perks” of our location! 🙂
We sure did love having GJ and Daddo in town for the Super Bowl two weeks ago!
Samantha also got to Dance with the Dorians on the day of the Super Bowl! Similar to what she did with the cheerleaders, she went to an all day clinic where she learned a dance and got to perform it. I missed the performance because of the game but GJ, Lou Lou, and Susan got to see her dance it out!!
My dancing star!
Woohoo! The kids are on the way to being fully vaccinated! They got their first covid vaccine last week at Publix and I felt a sweet sense of relief wash over me.
What a trial these kids have been through the past 20 months. The masks, the fear, the worry…all gone now thanks to a little shot.
Thank you science!
