Cub Scout Day Camp

Grant had a great time at Cub Scout day camp this past Thursday and Friday.  I only have these pictures of him because another child's mother is better at taking pictures of my own child than I am - waaaaa!  At least we have memories of this fun experience for him.  ~Andi

Recent and Not-So Recent Pictures

Grant's Baptism - February 2, 2013

Cub's Carrot Castle Cake - February 3, 2013
Our entry in the Cub Scout cake contest for February's pack meeting.  Yes, we won.

Foosball game from Santa - December 25, 2012
Pictures obviously not in chronological order.  Get over it -  I have.

 Still need to figure out how to rotate pictures on Blogger.  I see how to move them left & right, change their size, and remove them, but there's no way to rotate them!?

Lots of snow this winter - February 2013.  The boys had fun making giant snowballs!

Grant's Pinewood Derby car - May 1, 2013.  Won best design and third place in the race.

Not Halloween, it just looks like it.  Some of my daycare children (and Justin) playing dress-up as they often do.  From left to right: Tyler (R2D2), Kaitlyn (ninja), Leah (pirate), and Justin (Jedi)

Justin's 4th birthday - 2 days ago.  Brian built him a rocket cake per Justin's request.

 Justin opening his birthday presents (wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper because he doesn't care).  He had plenty of help!  I'm so glad Grant is old enough to put together all of Justin's gifts for him now.  The giant cardboard pirate ship that Grandma gave him looked like it would be less than fun to assemble, but Grant had it put together (as well as everything else) by the next morning!  Will get a picture of that posted soon.  ~Andi

Happy Puppets

Sometimes Grant is not the nicest big brother to Christian and Justin.  He can be bossy and selfish.  I guess that makes it all the more heartening when he does something sweet for them...like yesterday.  I returned home from some errands yesterday morning to find Grant hard at work building a detailed compound out of our large cardboard bricks.  As I looked closer at it, I noticed that parts of the construction were labeled with signs: "Puppetsburg", "Duck Land", and "Penguin Village".  I knew that Grant did not build this for himself, but for his little brother.  Christian's most prized possessions are his duck and penguin hand puppets, and now, thanks to Grant, the penguins and ducks have an enormous, lovely, cardboard brick retreat in our playroom.  Those are some happy puppets!
