Rockets

Last night, the Cubs did rockets for pack meeting. This is a fun, annual tradition!! They get a PVC pipe and wrap copy paper around it and tape it. Try pull the tube out, after folding down and taping the tip. They add wings to it and they're ready to go. It was super windy, which helped sometimes and hindered at other times. What a fun night!!



Costume Fun

Buggins is going crazy with costumes. He wants me to make a Link (from Zelda) costume and he wants it done last week. We've slowly been looking for stuff to go with it...and looking at things just for fun. He's sure having fun with it this year!


Jog-A-Thon

The younger two kids had a Jog-a-Thon fundraiser at their school today. It was cold, windy, and a little sprinkly, but they did it and had fun!! I think I like this type of fundraiser--one day and done. It was fun to help out and cheer the kids on.

Good Luck Friday the 13th!!

Bedums was using her mouth to hold a blanket while getting off the trampoline. When she took the blanket out, she noticed something funny in her mouth. She spit it out and it was a tooth!! Yay!! She finally, finally, finally lost her very first tooth ever!! A very exciting day, for sure.

Unexpected Project

Our deck has needed restraining for a few years now. Jon decided to take ever other slat off to make cleaning easier ad that's when we realized how poorly the deck was built!! Not to mention unbalanced, warped, etc. He ripped the whole thing out and is building a brand new one. But it's a lot more time than we'd planned one.


First Day of School Part 2--the olders

Hmmm...for some reason, Teen 1 and Teen 2 were not as excited for first day pictures. In fact, Teen 1 managed to escape before I even realized that I didn't get a picture, so his is on the second day. He's a sophomore (10th) and in high school now. Our senior neighbor takes him to school--lucky. Teen 2 is in 8th grade.

First Day of School Part 1--the youngers

August 26 was the first day of school for all of the kids. Buggins and Bedums had a lot of fun posing--I think they were excited, yet nervous, to go back. So far so good!! 5th grade and 2nd grade.
