NaBloPoMo 2018 Post-Mortem

By |

With 2018’s National Blog Post Month behind me I wanted to give a little reflection on it, my feelings about how I performed. While technically I did manage to get in 31 posts the month of November I am not feeling great about the accomplishment. Yes, I know November has only 30 days, I am…

Camp Halloween

Our council hosts Cub Day At Camp a couple of weekends in the fall, with the weekend before Halloween having a theme. Can you guess what it is? After our rounds of BB guns we headed to the archery range. Archery is perhaps Xavier’s favorite Cub Scout activity. On the way there were leaves on…

Fall Catch-Up (Part 2)

Here is the second of two parts of my catch-up series for this school year. A number of abbreviated postings glossing over what has happened so far, trying to simply get caught up and not three months behind. Here is Xavier during one of the cross country meets. Ciáran had a bit of improvement over…

August 2018 Geek Fuel (Summer Catch Up Part 11)

Still playing catch up with things that happened over the summer. Here is the August entry of the Geek Fuel subscription box. The salt and pepper shakers. The game. August really likes the shirt.

Camp Easton (Summer Catch-Up Part 10)

I am just going to post a few pictures from this summer’s trip to Boy Scout Camp. Part of the reason has to do with the fact I was acting Scoutmaster, busy keeping track of everybody (for the most part, there were many times I didn’t know where my two boys were). The other reason…

The Latest From Grace

There are two things I want to  put down as a reminder of where Grace is developmentally right now. She is two and not quite a half years old and talking up a storm, getting into everything and probably has the worst temper of all of our kids. But that’s not what I want to…

The Trip Home (Vancouver Island Part 8 Summer Catch-Up Part 9)

Lighthouse And Fort (Vancouver Island Part 7 Summer Catch-Up Part 8)

There are so many pictures of this place I could post, but really, what I want to do is encourage you to go yourself if ever in the Victoria B.C. area. Fort Rodd Hill And the Fisgard Lighthouse were certainly a highlight of our trip. Some of the buildings are set up to display how…
