Tales of Cub Scouts

Our theme this month in Cub Scouts is "The ABC's of America" so we have been discussing facts about the United States and learning all of the states. So, last night was another trivia night, and I don't think I have laughed as hard as I did last night. Here are a few funny nuggets from last night's meeting...

Me: "When did Columbus reach America?"

Scout #1: "1942!"

Me: (Chuckling) Ummm...let's try a little bit earlier...

Scout #2: "Ugh! We don't know. We give up."

Me: "Who is your favorite President?"

Scout #2: "Abraham Lincoln!"

Me: "Oooh, he's my favorite too! Do you know what his wife's name was?

Scout #2: "No, but she was ugly, mean, and rude."

Me: "What ship did the Pilgrims sail on to get to America?"

Scout #2: "The Nayflower!!"

Me: "Close...but it was the Mayflower."

Scout #2: "Yeah, whatever. When do we get our cookie?"

It is such a stuggle sometimes to get the boys to pay attention, but they are so sweet. They really get excited to learn new things and work on projects together. I enjoy the time I am able to spend with them, and the things I have learned while working with them.

Hope you got a chuckle or two like I did!

A Nasty Virus...

I seemed to develop a bad case of Strep throat overnight!

Friday night we went to cheer Katy on at a Central Chargers soccer game, and we had a BLAST!! Go #18! Katy played great although the game ended in a tie. Trinity's soccer team scored in the last 15 seconds of the game tying the game 1-1. It was a GREAT game!

Had to put a plug in for Katy...anyway...throughout the night Friday and into Saturday morning my throat started swelling and I developed a fever. Not fun! So, off to the doctor I went Saturday morning to beg for some help. A couple of looks in my ears and throat and I was out the door with an antibiotic. So nice...

I ended up staying in bed until Monday. It was rough! Chloe made sure I was alive throughout the day by scratching my face just as I would fall asleep. When I opened my eyes she would continue playing with her toys on the bed. So cute! She's my little pal! Here's a picture of her taking care of me (although she is distracted by the camera at the moment):

Thank goodness I am almost over with it all! It stinks to be sick! :-p
