Cub Scout

This is what we would like it to be like:



Reality:




Parker had his first "official" day of scouts on Wednesday. He has been going with us (Justin and I are the Wolf Leaders) for the past 2 months, but had to wait to wear his gear until he was 8. We did a little "First Aid" lesson with the boys. I made fake blood (corn syrup and food coloring) and told them we were going to be learning knife skills. When I passed the toy knife to Justin, he screamed and held out his "bloody" palm. The boys were in shock for a moment! Parker and Blake thought it was so cool and couldn't wait to put it on themselves while poor Andrew turned white and had to leave the room.




It has been fun doing scouts, especially since I only had sisters. My mom helped out a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe how much energy the boys had. My dad walked by and told me how grateful he was to have girls.
