Typing this out on my phone because the internet crapped out right before I (finally) sat down to type this post. Ugh. I wound up sleeping in until 6Am today. Unloaded the disheasher, helped get the kids breakfast, etc. Had to be at the church by 7:45 this morning because I was in charge of…
This past Saturday the entire Cub Scout pack went on a hike. Well, it was scheduled as a pack outing, but only two other dens were represented by one person each. This wound up being pretty much my den’s outing with a couple of others, really. This was fine, as a hike is one of…
I know it has been a while. If you scroll back through some past posts you’ll see I have not only been busy, but that I’ve posted pictures of the kids. Sometimes. It can be difficult to tell, but that is August, Dela, Ciaran and Xavier during swim lesson. Here is Xavier learning to dive…
Things just sort of gt out of hand last week and I wound up not getting around to posting my usual Friday pictures last week. There are quite a few to jump into. A couple of weekends ago there was another cross country meet. This featured, once again, the whole of the school. And some…
Let’s kick things off with a cute picture of Tevye sleeping. These next four pictures are from earlier this week. I think. The kids are waiting for school to start. Or something. Wednesday was the first Cub Scout pack meeting, and August didn’t get to go for the first time since he is now a…
Last month Ciárán had his Cub Scout Day Camp, but it wasn’t an overnight affair. Last week it was August’s turn. Only this time it would be drastically different as he had moved on from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. This wasn’t a 5 day camp from 9 to 3, but would go from Sunday to…
Last week at Boy Scout camp I missed the staff’s production of Frozen while I was back home for a couple of days. August apparently loved it, as it was a very lose adaptation that freely borrowed from other movies and storytelling elements. Kind of a half-parody/half-homage to the film. I heard all about it…
Another busy week with a lot going on. We start off while still on vacation in Winthrop. Only our van’s battery died because we accidentally left the cooler plugged in. Whoops. We waited and waited and waited for AAA to come give us a jump start. And waited and waited. We had planned to go…
Happy birthday to me! This post isn’t about me though. August and Déla got new bikes. Here they are trying them out. Sometime over the last week Ciárán’s tube and connector toy got broken out. Things were built. Some quite large. Tuesday August got to ride on a Navy ship as it maneuvered from Everett to…
This year it was Ciárán’s turn to attend Cub Scout Day Camp. With August already having crossed over into Boy Scouts he couldn’t participate – he will be participating in his own adventures. Also this year is the first time I helped out. After registering and checking in the activity was within our group to…
