"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.... We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith."

Margaret D. Nadauld, former Young Women General President

Conversations with Marley

WARNING: This little conversation isn't all that... "sweet". If you rather pass the opportunity for some Marley Humor I totally understand. This one was just too interesting to not post. She'll be SO embarrassed in about 8 years or so. =)

Marley came in the bathroom where I was getting things ready to get the girls in the tub and she starts going to the bathroom. 

Marley: Mom, why is pee yellow?

Mom: Hmm... (I pretend to think and couldn't come up with anything smart, because I DO know that there is an answer to this scientific question) I don't know Marley, that is a very good question.

(I thought I ended it pretty well.)

Marley: Mom, why is poop brown?

At this point I just wanted to ignore her and not further this conversation, it was getting gross.... so now I share it with you...

Marley: And why is it, you know, like braided? 

I was laughing so hard and was grateful for Emma's sudden presence to end the conversation...

The end.

Pumpkin Walk 2010

10/22/10

We went to Logan for a pretty cool Pumpkin Walk with Jon and Angie and their kiddos. It wasn't too cold this night, either, so I was happy about that. There were some pretty cool displays, all made out of pumpkins or other fall veggies, and the kids had a good time.

Corn Maze

10/21/10

For the October Pack Meeting we met at a corn maze. (This is why Corbin won't get his award until November.) It wasn't as cold as we thought it would be, so that was good. We had a good night with the families of the other Cub Scouts. Afterwards we got popcorn and hot chocolate.

Which way?

We kept getting "lost" in the corn maze. Colt had mentioned, as it was getting darker, that if we didn't find our way out we'd have to sleep in the maze. Corbin was a little spooked - by it all - while Marley was having a "whatever", fun attitude with it all. So when Colt mentioned sleeping in the maze she goes "Oh no! That would be bad, I don't even have Scratchy!" Scratchy would be her favorite blanket. She wasn't so concerned about sleeping in a creepy corn field as she was not having her favorite blanket. She's so funny. 

he's a Cub Scout

Corbin absolutely LOVES Cub Scouts. He is excited to go every week. He was very excited to get his Scout shirt, which Grandma Pam took him to buy as a baptism present. (Thanks, Mom!) He is so excited about it. 

He completed his Bobcat requirements in just a week. He will be getting that reward at the November Pack Meeting. I'm so glad he is excited about this stuff. This past summer we went and saw his cousin, Nathan, receive his Eagle Scout and Corbin thought it was the coolest thing ever. Thanks, Nathan, for being a good example to him. Corbin is loving Scouts!!
