Happy Birthday Rerun!

my little man is 9 years old this week! I just finished making rigatoni for his birthday dinner thanks to his daddy for making the sauce!

Gotta go wrap the cloths from my mom and pack up the car to head to my in laws for the party!

Pics soon. Maybe, if I remember.

What was lost is now found

Little man's glasses have been MIA for about 2 months now. Stopped in to the school today to drop off his costume for the wax museum and the secretary asked if we ever found his glasses. She then said, we have 2 here, is either of these his?? YES!!!!! So we now have his glasses back and I wrote his name on them just to make sure we don't lose them like that again!

the light at the end of the Silver Journey!!

Finally AJ is seeing the light at the end of this very long journey to completing her Silver.

She started on the path with the old requirements, halfway through the Journey requirements came out and in our council we were told since she hadn’t started the Silver project itself she had to follow the new requirements. Thankfully we had already been working on the Amaze Journey so it wasn’t too much of a gear switch.

She then decided to do her Silver project on Astronomy. She was going to plan/run/teach astronomy to younger Girl Scouts. Then she found out that it couldn’t be for Girl Scouts; ok, she’ll do it for Cub Scouts, but that got shot down too. So she pitched the idea to the principal at her old elementary school and they loved the idea!

At that point she’d spent over 40 prep hours on this project. By October 2010 the school came back and said no to the club idea but yes to teaching during school over her spring break (different from theirs) for all the 5^th graders.

Today was another meeting with the principal and another bump in the road but she took it in stride! They realized that the week that she was going to come in and teach was the OAA prep week (state testing) so she’s back to an after school club for grades 4-6. She’s still doing the same program she planned for during the school day but will be doing it after school with the StarLab coming in on Friday all day for her to teach children grades K-6.

Now all we have to do is finish the paperwork after this week is completed and turn it in for her to get her pin!!

MIA

Ya that's me. MIA. This blog has been MIA for just over 3 months... my other one it's been almost a year!

Lots to talk about, nothing to say though.

Keeping busy with the kids and scouts. Working hard for next to nothing.

Jer and I get to go out to dinner about 2 weeks ago. First time in almost a year we've gone out without anyone else, no other couples, no kids, no anything. It was nice. It was really nice.

Now he's busting his butt at work while I attend GS meetings about troops, council programs and day camp. I love the fact that he only complains once a month about the fact that I spend more time volunteering with our kids then making money for us to eat on. Yes that is a real compliment, not a backhanded one. I really do love the fact that he only complains once a month, I know other men may complain more (most do from what I hear).

Report cards came in this week. The girls are straight A's. The little man is going to get a swift kick in the butt if he doesn't start doing a little better. Yes he has A's and B's but it's the N's that I have issue with. The kid needs to get his homework brought home so he can do it, and start listening in class.

Oh the joys of parenthood.
