Lately...

The boys had a big week a pack meeting for scouts last week.  Cole earned his Wolf badge and Ethan earned four activity badges and one belt loop towards his Webelos badge.  They also participated in the space derby.  Both the boys did well in their races, despite several broken parts.

We also celebrated Shawn's birthday this weekend.  We enjoyed a family dinner out at the Cheesecake factory and brought home 5 pieces of cheesecake for breakfast the next day.  Shawn got a  Spain soccer jersey from Ethan, a Greenbay Packers sweatshirt from Cole, and a new scarf and hat from Liv.  He also got a new, nice leather workbag from me (although he picked it out).  

We also checked in on our house, but so far no progress.  We are held up in delays with permits and stupid stuff like that.  There is a big black fence around the property ready to begin and a sign up front that has our name on the top.  It makes it feel official, but hopefully we can start digging soon.

Today we had our first snow of the season.  Not sure we are excited about that.
