Spencer's TV Debut

Well, kinda. Spencer's Tiger Scout Troop led the Pledge of Allegiance at Broomfield's City Council Meeting last night. The meetings are broadcasted on Broomfield's public access tv station and are also available for viewing online. They are on about 1.5 minutes into the broadcast leading the Pledge and then introducing themselves. Click on the pic below to watch the video.

A Funny from Dinner.

Mommy: "Pete and Repeat were in a boat. Pete jumped out. Who was left?"

Boys: "Repeat."

Spring Might Actually Come Someday

This past Saturday, we finally had some decent weather and we were all itching to get out of the house, so we went and explored a new walking path near Boulder.

A lair for the boys inside a bunch of fallen trees.

Isaac making me a lil' nervous. Thankfully nothing hissed or jumped out at him.

Isaac's First Pot

Isaac came home from Homeschool Connection last week with this first pottery class project: a pinch pot!

It's solar system themed: the sun.

The moon and stars.

Planets.

A back hole.

Isaac goes by Ike there(his choice, not mom's).

Pinewood Derby

I'm a little behind on posts. We've been staying busy with school and scouts and work and life. A few weeks ago the boys had their pinewood derby with the cub scouts. The boys picked out their designs and did most of the work themselves. We learned a lot for next year and the boys had a lot of fun.

Ice Skating

We went ice skating yesterday with our small group, it was the first time any of the boys had gone and the first time Jeremiah had been since we were kids. Each of the boys did pretty well. Spencer wouldn't slow down to actually learn to skate, but would race for a short distance until he wiped out, pick himself up and race off again. When we first started, the littles would find an adult they knew to hang on until that adult got tired and then they'd get passed on to another adult(thanks small group!). That got old pretty quickly, so we took each of them to the middle or side where it wasn't so busy and made them go on their own, focusing on balance and going nice and slow. Samuel especially ended up loving it. He told me this morning, "When we were skating yesterday, I was as happy as a tiger who found food." :-)

Pics were all taken with my camera phone, most were blurry, so these 2 are the only decent ones, they happen to both be of Samuel.
