Cub Scouts Bowling

Well as promised I have two pics for you from our bowling extravaganza on Saturday. This was a pack function so all of the dens attended. I have a pic of Nicolas with his den and Alex with his den. The boys had alot of fun. Alex beat his teammates in every game. Nicolas got a strike for the first time ever on his very last shot. Everyone got free pizza and soda too. Cub Scouts has been really busy so we just wanted to take a day and relax. Some of our upcoming events are: graduation ceremonial pack meeting on the 27th, Kidney Disease Walk on May 6th (if you would like to sponsor the boys, email me or call me) which sponsors all LOCAL services and programs for patients, the Memorial Day Parade (we are making a paper mache float), Cub Scout camp in July, and so on and so on. I will try to take photos at everything to keep you up to date, talk to you again soon...

You are not going to believe this!!!!!!!

Well I finally did it. Michael volunteered to help coach Nicolas' baseball team. After watching me volunteer for everything and anything he finally felt it was time. The boys have been harping at him for a couple years now because he is so good at sports (he is such a natural athlete it literally makes you sick). The catch was though, mom had to do it too! Go figure, right? I am sure we'll have a good time, plus with Nicolas' ADHD we can keep him in control better. We are going bowling with the cub scouts on Saturday so I'll take some pics to put on the blog. See ya!

It's Vacation Time (again!!!)

Last week was a pretty good week. The boys got great report cards. Alex missed honor roll by 3 points this quarter so he was disappointed but I reminded him he has one more quarter to make it up. Nicolas' marks were very high considering the trouble he has been having regulating to his ADHD behavior program. He seems to be responding well but still has his moments (don't we all). The big hockey award assembly was Thursday and both of the boys got their medals. Mom even got a gift certificate to the Waterhouse for running the snack bar for the third year. Nicolas was very proud that his mom was the only one called up on stage. On Saturday, the first day of vacation, the boys were out rollerblading and Nicolas decided to crash face first on the sidewalk. That pretty much told me it was going to be a interesting spring break. They were happy with the easter bunny on Sunday, but even happier when mom made her spaghetti for dinner. This week they have play dates almost every day (here and there) so I am going to be doing my spring cleaning (even though there is snow on the ground). Here are some photos from this past week: the boys with their awards, little Mo's road rash, and Michael just being Michael (Alex took it). Have a great week and send us some of your own photos.

Busy Week!

Just wanted to give everyone an update, this week was crazy! Dad worked 12 hour shifts all week at the cement company while mom worked all week at the school and home. Nicolas had cub scouts and chorus while Alex had band and the big trip to Camp Ghingacook. Alex was gone Thursday and came home Friday at 7 pm. They hiked up Pilot Knob so he was pretty exhausted. Nicolas loved having mommy all to himself for two days; we had lots of fun. He had kind of a hard week at school though, very fidgety and anxious but we turned it around by Friday. His new behavior plan seems to be working; it just takes a while to see full results. We are getting ready to go clean the backyard so I will update again soon. Here is one of my favorite pics of jinx, she has it so rough! We just finally broke both the dogs of getting on the furniture because we are getting a new set.

Nicolas' big win!!!

Nicolas reminded of something today that I cannot believe I forgot to mention. At the cake bake for cub scouts we found out that Nicolas had won a BIG prize. The saratoga council has a drawing with six prizes every year for all of the scouts that fill a popcorn order form (Nicolas filled five). Our little Mo managed to get picked for the grand prize... a Mongoose electric scooter!!! It is very cool and fast (goes up to 12 mph). He was extremely excited and so were everyone else because that is the 1st time anyone from Corinth has won.
