sunday citar...."sportsmanship"

this is my son's 1st year as a cub scout...

and i'd have to say that we haven't

enjoyed anything more!

but the competition....

we were not prepared for!

it all began with the annual cake sale...

(again, new to us being our first year)

we went for the 'patriotic' themed cake...


THIS was the actual winner!!!
quite the difference eh?


we'll get em' next year!!!



then came the PINEWOOD DERBY...

unfortunatley.....

he came in last cause momma don't know

how to build no fast cars!

and yet, they were both such a blessing to us....

because both times we were in a position to teach

one of those great 'life lessons'

that, as parents, we all must teach.

and the TRUE joy and spirit of boy scouts

is that we help our pack grow by supporting one another...

and the spirit of 'sportsmanship' lives on!

"One man practicing SPORTSMANSHIP

is better than a hundred teaching it."

red or blue????

when you're a single gal,

you can quite easily get the

blues

when Valentine's Day

rolls around.

you can feel left out of the

loop completely.

but i've decided that

Valentine's Day

can just as easily be a day of

showing love...

to anyone at all...

kids, parents, friends...

anybody.

so that's what i did!

besides, how could one be blue

when you're blessed with all of this....

first, you gather your supplies...

then you fill our your Valentine's...
(don't forget anybody!)

you sweeten the pot with some goodies

and soak in the fun times while you're making them...

you find yourself a gorgeous date
and maybe take in a movie...

you spend some time with all your friends,

eating, giggling and don't forget the hugs...

you set the scene

for tons of fun...

you tear into it with all you got...

then you twist around,

and twist around,

with all of your might!

you smile as cute as you can...

and pretty soon, before you know it,

your heart is bright red

and bursting with love!

sunday citar....surprise!

in becoming surprised,

to notice that there is

something funny going on."

the RESURRECTION!!!

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?

First, I must PLEAD for forgiveness

to the few, but fantastic followers

I once had before I carelessly

allowed my blog to die!

Second, I must BEG for you to

come back to momma

and show me some love once again!

And finally,

I will PROMISE to faithfully, to the best

of my ability, to create and entertain with my blogging to come. Oh, won't you join me?
