Another year of scouting completed!

Don't know how I missed blogging about this!!!  Last Monday was our Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts.  The boys are to bring a dessert they made with their Dads.  

Funny thing is Mommy forgot about this minor detail...Kate reminded us on the way home from school!  So we scoured the pantry and found a cake mix (thanks to a Christmas white elephant exchange, no Lolly and Tia it was NOT expired).  After giving him some ideas from Pintrest we decided this one we could handle...

Blake really did make the cake all by himself and Daddy stopped by the store to pick up the additional sprinkles that we needed.  They finished it together!  For a last minute creation...not too bad!  He won 3rd place!!! 

Blake and his Bear den!  It was a crazy group, but he always enjoyed his scout meetings.

 

Checking out his patches, not exactly sure how he earned them all, but proud nonetheless!  ;o) 

Here we come WEBELOS!

Field Day - Armuchee style

So field day here is a little different from what we were used to at Hallsville.  It's a lot of chaos, but a ton of fun for the kids!  This is one of Kate's best buds A.

They split the grades up and did 1&2 on Wed and K&Pre-K on Thurs.  I helped out on Wed, so I wouldn't feel guilty about walking around with Kate on Thursday.  ;o)  I was in charge of this obstacle course...I had fun with it!

The classic over and under game!  Kate's team won...

Kate the Great was first to go...running with the ball between your legs.  She did a great job.

Snack Break!  Some buddies from her class.

The tricycle race was harder than they thought...most of them were too big for it!

Musical Hula Hoops

She was the LAST one!

And she managed to stay dry despite the water balloons and all!  What a  great first field day, already looking forward to next week...Blake's field day!

Spring break, Field trips and the Toothfairy

So I have a little catching up to do!

April 28th the kids I loaded up and headed out for TEXAS!  We hadn't been back to visit since Thanksgiving, so we were ready to see friends and family!

There are pros and cons to going when everyone else is in school.  One of the pros is we get to see everyone at the school and bring special treats to our friends!  Blake photo bombed Kate in the above pic!  It turned out so cute I had to blog it.  ;o)

Sophia was so excited to see Kate...Chia Lu was able to join us for lunch too.  So bummed I didn't get a pic of her with the kids!  :o(

These boys were TOO cool for us, but I think they were excited to see us none the less!

We meet Pop one day when we were out and about.  He schooled the kids!  So glad a grab a pic...these are the moments I never want to forget.

Mer and I have taken the big kids pics at this tree every Easter since they were 3!  We may have been a few weeks late, but we still got it done.  Someday we'll be taking engagement photos in front of that tree...well, if we could have arranged marriages that is!  ;o)

Making memories with our friends, watching The Croods!  

Our other good buddy C!  So glad we got to see him if only for a few hours.  There were many others we got to visit with and I'm so upset with myself for not being more intentional about pictures!  Thank you to all of you who made time for us!  And to everyone else we didn't get to see I'm so very sorry!  One week is just too short!  BUT know that our door is always open and we have an extra room!  ;o)  hint hint

We made it back home to finish out our last 3 weeks of school!  Cannot believe we are now just two weeks away from summer!!!  This week was FULL!  B had two field trips one of which was to the TN Aquarium...this is the only pic I got!  He is SO his father's son...notice the short hand for square inch.  

The very next day Kate had a field trip to the Atlanta Zoo!  Girls are much more into taking pictures!  This is a very sweet friend that God has put in our lives...so thankful.

These are some of our girl scout buddies!  We rode home with them...so many giggles.

And tonight the Toothfairy will be visiting our house.   This is her third tooth to come out but the very first one she pulled out ALL by herself!  She was so proud!!!
