I think a lot of the men really got involved. I am thinking a few drinks and hoyo de monterrey cigars might be a decent way to celebrate for them. I was so happy to see them step up and help out with the tug of war, the relay races and more. Ya ya ya, so I’m a woman involved in scouts. But so is my husband. He does so much with the kids at home to help them earn their stuff and he supports me working as the committee chair and a den leader. I think boys need to see the men involved. Now is the time for the fathers to be a big part of their lives. Seriously… between the ages of 6 and 12 is the best time. The boys are able to communicate, able to do sports and are not interested in girls yet.

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings as my wolf and webelos 1 boys work their way through the books. It ought to be fun!

Then I saw a commercial of little babies. You know the kind. It makes you think of dads handing out don pepin cigars and the perfect looking moms with smiles on their faces. Yaa. I looked at my son and that commercial and almost busted another vein. This is why people don’t warn you about children. They only tell you the good stuff. That way the next person can be suckered into this.

I had to laugh after a while. I looked at my oldest and told him he was the luckiest kid and that I loved him. He had no clue. Amazing how it works. Though something must have made it through because a little while later he said thanks when I did something for him. Definitely not a normal thing. Made me feel better. What a good kid he really has turned out to be. I just hope he stays as sweet. Life can be hard.
