One Tooth Gone, Many To Go

He has been adamant about wiggling his "wiggle tooth" for weeks asking both Zane and I to take a few turns every day as well. All that wiggling paid off last night as he finally popped it out. He was so excited (more than I remember the other boys being). Right before he pulled it out, he said, "Wait, I can't pull it out, I don't have a tooth fairy pillow." Trevor offered his and that seemed good enough for Gage. I went upstairs and made one for him and in the night I switched the pillows out so that he had his own with a "G" on the little pocket where the tooth goes. He was ecstatic to see that new pillow and the dollar this morning. He asked me today if I was sad that the tooth fairy brought him a dollar and not one to me. No Gage, I am not sad. I am very excited for you cute boy.

Summer Started Out With Scout Camp, Followed By Cub Camp

I am really happy a majority of the boys in the family are highly involved in Scouts. Really I am. (I might wish there were a few less campouts, that's all). I think there are new uniform extras, book, and patch purchases every week. The summer began with a week of Scout Camp at Camp Crooked Creek for Zane and Trevor. I think it might have been the best week of Trevor's (and possibly Zane's) life. I hope that the excitment lasts for the next 4 years that he will be going. I think Cooking might have been his favorite class along with eating in the cafeteria that only he loved!!! Trevor cooked his troop a cherry cobbler in the dutch oven on the last day of camp (Friday) and then came home to duplicate it for a pool party with friends on Saturday. It was so yummy. It's great to see T that excited about something.

And, this week has been Cub Camp for Boston. He too is thrilled. He wears his new calculator watch each day to make sure that the dens are moving from station to station at the right time and staying on schedule.

Last Day Photo

I nearly forgot to take their photo on the last day of school. I was in my pjs and I chased them down at the bus. I just like to see the comparison between their first day photo and their last. I always recognize a bit of a change and that's cool to see. So, here's the last day of school. Trevor looks so old to me and Boston still looks excited about school - which may change as he gets older.

Who's Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Trevor!

He's been promoted to 6th grade. So naturally, he is smarter than a 5th grader. There was a nice little program, a long slide show, and a great trip to DQ for ice cream afterwords. We gave him a new calculator watch which he is (actually) thrilled with. Boston loved it so much he bought the exact same one for himself!
