Blue & Gold 2010

S first Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet was a success. He earned 13 belt loops and was quite proud of himself. He should be, he worked hard to get them. The entertainment was a juggler and he was fun. At the end, the kids got to balance peacock feathers on their hands and spin plates on wooden dowels. Even Mom & Dad got to try this.

A fun night even if the kids were up late. Getting up for school the next morning, not so fun.

A New Obsession

I started reading Harry Potter with Wolfgang in December. We finished Book 1 on Sunday (took the whole month) and last night, the hubbie went to the library and picked up the 2nd book. Well, Wolfgang is already almost done with Chapter 4! I think he got my reading bug and I couldn't be happier. He sat on the couch after doing his homework, snuggled up in a quilt and was reading his little heart out. I was one proud Mama, so glad the reading gene was one thing he inherited from me (keeping my fingers crossed that it won't also be the stubborn/impatience gene!).
