Cub Scouts = Total chaos

Yesterday was a crazy busy day. Tyler had to attend a meeting yesterday after work so we didn't get to see him until about 9:00 last night. I had to leave work a little early so I could meet up with my parents and go to Britton's soccer game. His team ended up losing by one but Britton got an awesome goal. I had the camera all ready and sitting in my lap just waiting to capture a goal. Well, I got to excited and forgot all about it until he was running down the field with his hands in the air. So needles to say I didn't get it on camera, oh I didn't take any pictures either. Awesome.

As soon as soccer was over we had to hurry like crazy to get to Cub Scouts. Britton had to change in the car that's how pressed for time we were. We were an hour late, but it was OK because they had not even started by the time we got there. Their rocket ship launching line kept breaking. Once they got it all figured out they started the rocket ship launching competition. But it was total chaos. They had no idea who was going or who had already gone. They did it in a little hallway so there was no room. And again the lines kept breaking. I couldn't get very good pictures and it was just annoying to be in the chaos of it all. But Britton said he had fun and that is all that matters.




Since Tyler was not able to make it Britton asked Grandpa if he would come and help. Thanks for being there for him Dad!

Britton was supposed to get his wolf badge on this evening as well, but guess what. They forgot his awards. So instead of having a "ceremony" to receive his awards his friends Mom will bring them to our house. It was very nice of her to volunteer to do that, but she shouldn't have had to. I was kind of ticked that his hard work wasn't recognized but that's OK. He didn't seem to be upset so I just let it go. Another thing I found kind of annoying was that two of the boys tied. Instead of having a tie breaker they just told the boys to share the trophy. Seriously? Who does that? I thought it was pretty crappy that one of the boys went home without a trophy...LAME.

When we finally got home the kids still had homework to do and they were STARVING. So after eating a bowl of cereal and doing homework and brushing teeth and getting into Jammies they were finally in bed at 9:30 pm. I hope they don't fall asleep during school.

You know what the best part about the whole day was. Grandma Donna (Britton and Shay's Great Grandma) got to spend the day with us. I was super glad that she got to see Britton get a goal.
