I am so behind on my blogging. I need to catch up because I use my blog for scrapbooking. I constantly refer to it when I am looking for journaling for my pages. Speaking of scrapbooking...I have actually done some. I'll take pictures of my pages soon :)
I have 880 pictures on my memory card right now. My goal is to take each "event" off one at a time, upload them to my computer, then to my photo printing site and finally blog about them. So tonight I took the Cub Scout pictures off.
Cameron has been dying to be a Cub Scout since Kindergarten. He has been to more girl scout events with his sisters then he can count and he has been patiently waiting his turn. Dave signed him up last month but naturally they didn't have a leader. So guess who is the Cub Scout leader now??? Yep...Dave :) He didn't really want to be, but if he didn't step up to the plate there wouldn't have been a Cub scout troop. Cam would have been devastated. I knew when the sign ups ... which should have taken a few minutes but took a couple of hours that Dave was probably roped in.
So far it has been going well. Dave has to plan 2 meetings a month and take the kids on 1 field trip a month...so that takes 3 weeks of the month. The remaining week is a Pack meeting where all the Cub scout troop levels get together. Thankfully Dave doesn't have to run that one.
The first "field trip" will be to the Tamworth fire station. The boys should enjoy that. I'll be there that night too for a meeting so hopefully I'll get some pictures.
Dave was a cub scout too so thankfully he had some prior knowledge of the program. He has to go to training this month.
Here are some pics of Cam with his uniform. The shirt is giant on him. They told the boys to get shirts that are 2 sizes too big since you need to wear the same shirt from 1st through 4th or 5th grade. Well the shirt is too big and I am going to see if I can exchange it for a smaller size since there are no patches on it yet. They are really expensive. When I went to the Army Navy store I bought Dave a shirt, Cam a shirt, 2 troop number patches and 2 neckerchief's and it cost $87!!! I almost had a heart attack. I had to go back and get the slides for the neckerchiefs and I still have to get council patches and Cam needs a hat. *Sigh*
I need to get some better pictures of Dave, but here is a quick one of him going over what he is going to do at the meeting :)
