HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL I HAVE MISSED RECENTLY

Happy Birthday to WALKER today - I can't believe he's 6 (such a cutie)

Amy - sounds like the cruise was amazing and thanks for all the legwork you did. I need to make sure to request Ducky, his work is so wonderful and I really want a sketch for our home.

Not much exciting news here, just that yesterday it was 80 something and today 30 something with a possibility of freezing rain tomorrow. This normally would not phase me (I am from the midwest) but it's double coupon weekend at the grocery store and I so don't need to deal with 500 people buying bread and milk cause they might have to stay home tomorrow and Sunday.

For all you Nascar fans - Sunday is the big day... JR is going to lead em to the finish line!

Happy Birthday Walker!!

Congrats Roxann & Amy on post & reply 5000!!!

Well as some of you might have noticed I'm posting in the middle of the day on a work day. Well no work for me today. Nick seems to have that stomach bug that everyone has been talking about . It was a rough messy night last night. Now that I have sick laundry done and cleaned the carpet (yes we had that issue too) I can finally take a moment to check the boards .

As Diana posted earlier we are having some nutso weather today. So far it started out ok this morning then we got a small rain/thunder storm. Then the power went out (not sure if Diana's did too) now it's sunny again but the winds are wicked and I'm just waiting to hear a tree snap!

Cindy - Big wishs for Walker & Cameron on the pinewood derby. Nick came in 9th in the pack this year for his pinewood. Every year he has been in the top ten of the pack (unfortunately never first).
Glad to hear Cameron wants to get his Arrow of Light. I hope your Pack does a cool ceremony like ours does. I'll have to post a couple of pictures from Nicks ceremony. On March 30th we will be having the Crossover Ceremony where he crosses to Boy Scouts!

Oh Stacy - I'm so sorry that you're going through this! I sure hope that Nick is better soon. Nothing is worse that having your kids sick.

Some pictures from the Arrow of Light Ceremony. They dim the lights and have a mock campfire. The boys get "branded" with the Arrow on their forehead and receive an Arrow of Light.

Thanks Amy!

Well luckily once he did get to sleep he did sleep pretty good. So far he has been an the BRATdiet and keeping everything down. I had to give him some meds for a low grade fever he was running but he seems to be doing much better then last night just looks like he has been thru the ringer.

 

[alikat99]

Well, maybe you'll be lucky like us, and the stomach thing only lasts about 24 hours. We're still dealing with colds around here, but the stomach bug was gone from each of us within a day.

So far it seems to be working out that way....thank goodness!

Stacy - sorry to hear that Nick is so sick. Hope you both get some rest.

Amy - enjoy the concert!

I'll be in chat tonight if anyone else feels like stopping in .

I just shared all of your birthday wishes with Walker. Boy did his face light up seeing his name over and over again. Thank you very, very much from his 6 year old heart.

Stacy, sorry to hear Nick is under the weather.

I'm not sure what our pack does for the Arrow of Light Ceremony. Ours is done during Blue & Gold which is the first Sunday in March -- not all that far off now. One would think I might know, but I really don't have a clue. This has been the hardest year for me as a leader --- I'm very frustrated with the boys and their attitudes. So, I have been keeping my distance as much as possible. I am very happy that we are done with our den meetings and I no longer have the responsbility of baby-sitting 13 boys. I tell you, running my daycare is a much easier job.

 

[MaryJ]

Just wanted to say I won't be in chat tonight. We're going out to dinner with friends from church. Maybe I'll get in on Sunday!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Stopped in chat for a bit. Was quiet tonight. Packing for a weekend trip with GF. Off I go...

Happy Saturday!

Walker won a medal & ribbon last night for speed. All the kids in the pack won something. This was the first time his car didn't qualify for a trophy for design or speed. But, looking at his reaction to getting the medal, you would never know that it wasn't first place. He came running up to me saying "I got my first medal". I'm so glad he doesn't understand the concept of why he got the medal and was just happy to earn it.

Cameron's race is today. They will be dropping Cameron's car off to run as Cameron decided he'd rather go to Walker's roller skating birthday party. Not a problem, as long as the car is there, it will run. I suspect there are a lot of Dad's looking to outrun "Cameron's" car this year. I will be amazed if Cameron takes first place in speed for the 5th year running. But, it would be nice to have someone else truly earn that position.

Current temp is -5 here this AM. I hope it warms up some as tonight is the night Cameron's camping outside with Boy Scouts. I think Gary's going to join him to see how the program goes. I offered but Cameron begged Gary to go instead. Somehow Cameron knows that my being outside, camping in the middle of winter, would not be a pleasant experience.

Have a great day everyone!!!!

Happy Saturday morning to everyone!! We picked up Krispy Kreme donuts on the way home from the concert last night, so the girls are enjoying donuts for breakfast with Chris. Thankfully, the KK place is on the other side of the bay in Tampa. I wouldn't want it too close to me!!!

More laundry and unpacking for me today!! Will it ever end?!?!?!?!? I hope everyone had fun in chat last night. I'll try to be there Sunday night!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!


Cindy - congrats to Walker on his medal! Have fun at the birthday party today!

Amy - KK's are my downfall as well - luckily we don't have one too close.

Chat was quiet last night. I was pretty tired so I only stayed about 1/2 hour.

Have a great day everyone. I'm hoping to do more scrapping this weekend. This time working on SSMC05.

Hi gang, we are going down to Champaign for late lunch but I wanted to share these pics I found on the digital card in our Video camera. One is Raegan our first granddaughter, when she was flower girl in a wedding 3-4 yrs ago, one is Coleen at Chef Mickeys in 2002 and the last two are our son Greg playing football his senior year of college. He is #65. That was 2003 season.
Amazing what you find on cameras that dont get used very often.

Very cool Steve - some hidden treasures.


That Raegan is a cutie!
