Was snowing here...

My oldest went to Boyscouts and he was bored after a few meetings. And Girlsscouts put my Daughter too sleep ...honestly .

 

Yeah, that was what I found going on as well, it was becoming to much like school. It needs to be fun, not a chore. I am hoping to get the items in the book done. But make sure there is a lot of laughter and activities..

When I was in Scouts, it was fun. I dont really remember if we had anything completed in the book or not. I am hoping to provide the same..

 

Yes thats a great goal... my Boy never went back but I am sure he would have IF it was more *fun* ...rather then them sitting and listening to the Guy up front for 2 + hrs.

I am sure you will do well, knowing that things have to change a little to keep them Kids involved & intersted.

 

Give 'em each a piece of bubble gum and a bb gun! They'll wanna come back next week!

 

you got to keep them away first hahah

Ours made Paper Planes one time I thought to myself " are you kidding me ?"

 

Question anyone ever used the Gym in Clare?

 

Its funny, but one of Christians favorite times was when they made paper planes.

Yesterday we blindfolded all of the kids, 7 of them, had them throw their shoes into a pile and made them look for their shoes.

We then talked Stranger Danger, then went into secrete codes. Next den meeting we are doing recycling, and most likely we will have races with blindfolds on, each counting on their team to give directions.

 

how old is christian? My boy was like 13 -14 years old.....and at that point was not into Paper planes lol


now see recycling is a Good thing,,, and they can learn & help so much

 

7 ...8 in May

 

Ah,, little younger then mine was then

Glad mine are older hahaha .. would not want to start allover now

 

I wouldnt miss this for the world.. Out of all the names I have ever been called, Dad is my favorite.

 

35 and raining in Kentucky. And I have to work outside on my Aunt's farm, fixing the gates and all the other stuff that goes wrong. I guess I'm back in the north!

 

Yup I love being a MOM, even when they were little...my Kids were all within 5 years.
I do miss them being little until other peoples kids act up then I am glad mine are all Teenagers


I am glad I did this when I was younger so now I can still enjoy my time *off* hahaha

 

I've had 43 years of time off. I've never had any human kids.

 

After meeting you Pat, and reading your post you write about your boys,

They are very lucky to have you as their father.
