3 things and a pack meeting

Here is the list of 3 things for today.  One of Abby's needs a little explaining, so read all the way to the end.  Also, if you cannot tell, I try to put these in the same words that the kids tell them to me in.  It makes it funner that way.

Zander

#1 We did math with coloring again today.  Then you turn the page over and there was a whole bunch more math on the back.
#2 I took my backpack to an assembly today.  They showed a movie that the 3rd and 4th and 5th and 6th graders made.  But I don't remember what it was about.
#3 I practiced writing my C, D, E & F letters.

Abby

#1 Today Sammy and me played doctor in the hallway.  We had to play in the hall because it didn't get put away right yesterday.
#2 Then we played baby & I prayed on Sammy (see below for the explanation)
#3 Last thing we played in the back yard with Grandma and Sonya

We had to ask Abby what she meant by prayed on Sammy.  She said, You know when you put your hands on her head and pray.  So apparently she was giving her a blessing.  This makes more sense if I also tell you that on Monday morning, Tony gave Zander a father's blessing before we took him to his first day of school.  Apparently Abby doesn't quite get the concept of a blessing yet, but maybe a few more years.

One more thing.  Tonight we had a pack meeting and went up Mill Creek canyon to roast hot dogs and marshmallows.  I was able to award one of the boys with his Wolf.  This is only the 3rd one that I have done in the 5 years that I have been cub master.  It must have been a combination of that and the outdoors and me just being a sensitive boob, but I teared up when I was giving it to him.  I know how hard this boy and his parents worked this past year to have him actively coming to cubs and working with him on his advancement.  I was so honored to be able to be the one to award him with the advancement.

OK, sensitive moment over.  You can get back to your regularly scheduled programs now.
