Words to Live By.

I was in the office making the bookplates for this years books (I'm a bit behind this year), while Rick and the kids made cookies in the kitchen.

I heard Emily say "Dad, Mom has 3 motto's" She then explained they are;

(1) Touch it once. (A tidying / clean-up phrase.)

(2) The house can never be too clean.

(3) You can always use more cheese.

I guess my job with her is done!

Cub Scout Craft

I got a new calling at church two weeks ago. I had secretly hoped to go back to Primary (I love it there) but am actually pretty excited to have been called as a Cub Scout leader. I know NOTHING about the Scouting program and I am really looking forward to learning all about it and being more prepared as Jacob becomes a Cub Scout. I think it's going to be a really special thing that he & I can do together.

Tonight they made some crafts and I snapped a picture of a few of them. Jacob's is the one with the taller multi-stripe hat, second from the right. They then wrapped them to be able to give them as a gift.

They also made wooden door stoppers out of cedar and rubbed them with linseed oil (smelled so good) and made some cards for when we sing at the Elder Care Center next week.

I think I'm really going to have a lot of fun in Cub Scouts!
