Pumpkin Night Light

Every year the boys elementary school does a Pumpkin Night Light. Each class has a themed display with pumpkins that parents help with. The kids decorate the pumpkins and the community gets to come out and view them that night. Joshua's class was #2 Conkle Ct. (Christmas themed) and Nathan's was Hamilton's Home Run Hitters. It was a great night filled with food, singing, lots of blow up jumpers, and pumpkins everywhere.

Josh the Scary Scarecrow

I was at the school today and outside Joshua's class room his teacher has these "Scary Scarecrows" hanging up. I was laughing SO hard and had to snap a picture (cell phone quality)! The assignment was to make a scarecrow scary enough to scare off the crows. This is the story with Joshua's.....

"First you make your face super red. It will look like you are a girl. It will look like you have lipstick on. If you are a boy, you will scare a crow."

Happy Boys!

Happy, Happy, Happy, what more can I say......

WOW!

If any of you "really" know Jared, you know two things: one, he will do just about anything to save money and two, he's not Mr. Fix-it! But last night he proved me wrong. His brakes have been making noise on his car and rather than spend the money to take it to a shop, he decided he would do it himself. After many phone calls to his brother (the real fix-it guy) and many hours in the garage (didn't come to bed until 1:00 am), he succeeded! I told him next time we could just pay the money, but he told me that there is something about doing it yourself that makes you feel like a real man! Okay, whatever, as long as the brakes work! Good job, Jared!

Pack Night

Nathan got to participate in his last Pack Night last night. He was finally awarded his Arrow of Light and Webelos award. His best friend Nathan Otis, was also awarded the same awards. It was a "Nathan Night"! We are so proud of him and his hard work...now we have to start working towards his Eagle!
