What we have been up to

This has been a long week....5 whole entire days of school and work for Mom and the kids. No days off. We are doing our best.
Yesterday on the way to school, Eric was happy to hear it was Wednesday, as it is the first day of the week that we have nothing to do after school. Friday is of course better than Wednseday because he gets to stay up late, play video games, and sleep in Mom and Dad's bed. He then said that November is his favorite month because we have so many days off of school, giving him more time to play and stuff. I love 8 year old perspective on things.

The downside of selling $1500 worth of Scout popcorn is you have to pass out $1500 worth of popcorn. We try to do a little each day.

The Raingutter Regatta is tonight. The boys practiced "sailing" their boats. Each will earn belt loops for bowling, video games, and astronomy, and pins for soccer and video games.

Scouts get medals & pins for video games?! What the heck?

Yep-it includes learning about age appropriate games, working out a schedule with parents that includes time limits and balance with physical activity, fiscal responsibility when buying games, and other ways to include having fun with gaming while being responsible about it.

Ah. That makes sense. LOL
