Arrow of Light

H will become a Boy Scout next week! Here are some pictures from his Arrow of Light ceremony.

Pinewood Derby

George and Henry made their Pinewood Derby cars. George's car was a simple black block with googly eyes and won first place in his den! Henry's car was an homage to Popplio and won third place in his den.

Stretching it out

The boys had a great first day of school! They stretched out their bedtime as long as possible by playing nicely, both with their animals and with Henry's new Risk game.

Cub Scout Camp

Henry and Daddy spent a few nights at Cub Scout camp last week. Richard is going to Boy Scout camp next week. Mommy is counting the days until George gets to go to sleepaway camp, too!

Pinewood Derby flashback

Mommy discovered these cute photos on Daddy's phone last night and wanted to post them here for you to see!

Pinewood Derby

George and Henry had their Pinewood Derby on Saturday! They both worked hard on their cars and did well, and George even won in his age group! He was inseparable from his trophy and insisted on traveling with it. He managed to hang onto his precious trophy even while napping...

Bathtime buddies

Jail birds

Henry enjoyed a trip to the Denver Police Department with his Cub Scout troop, including a stint in a jail cell. Hopefully that's the last time he'll see the inside of one of those!

Crossing over

Richard is becoming a Boy Scout tonight. Congratulations!

Miscellaneous pictures

These are random pictures from this summer that we finally got around to posting. Too bad the summer's already over and we're back to school. Sigh.

Outlaws

On Sunday, the older boys abandoned Mommy and Georgie to go to the Denver Outlaws Cub Scout Day. Here is a group selfie taken at Mile High Stadium.

Henry's first cub scout camping trip

Looks like a success so far!

Henry's trophy

Last Saturday we raced our cars in the Pinewood Derby. Henry's sky-blue tow truck won a trophy!

SWATpudget

Daddy, Grandma, Richard, and Henry braved the Cub Scout expo last weekend while Mommy stayed home and vainly tried to clean up the destruction caused by Hurricane Georgie. Henry earned an astronomy badge, while Richard tried on police gear.

Mommy always warned me that being fussy could lead to bad things later in life.  (Luckily, Georgie wasn't at Cub Scout camp with me, or else they would have thrown the book at him!)
