Scout Camp

Last week was scout camp and it was strangely quiet at my house.

So quiet that you could feel something missing. but then, I was able to sleep in, and use the computer, watch TV when I wanted, and even Zach was very good. I didn't have to come down on him hardly at all. He even had a girl over and no one to pester him about it and add her name to our family prayer.

And then on Thursday, I got a call from somewhere up north and I remembered my little man was gone (not really, but it makes a good story!)

We talked for a bit but he mostly wanted to talk to Zach, who was out with friends.

He did manage to spend his money on another pocket knife.

(He bought three last year)

and he was looking forward to coming home.

But mostly he wanted to use facetime on Bro Young's phone!

 

Saturday morning I got a call to come pick up my little man and this is what I found!

 

 

 

 

 I am surprised the leaders let him ride in the car! Dirt everywhere! I am not sure how long it was there but as soon as he unpacked (he was upset because I made him do it and I did not help him. Silly boy!)

 

I asked if he brushed his teeth. He said he did before he left.

That's my boy! It's a good thing I love him! 

 

And you would not believe the change in noise at my house!

 

 

Three merit badges and 2 partials, one of which is the shotgun, and of course,  he wants to finish that one. Perhaps I will wait until his big sis gets off her mission and let her help! She has not has her Joey fix for quite a while and it's her turn!!! LOL
