CUB SCOUTS

Cub Scouts


Jack came home from school with some options for some activites.

One was boyscouts, a math Club and a writing club.
I jumped at the chance to sign him up for the math club.

The advertisment had me sold.
"Fun new ways to keep children involved in math." I also want to have him try cub scouts, as the meeting are only once a month. We talked about all of the options and Adrian had said he did cub scouts and I knew Jack would want to do it once he heard that. I then said O.K. then cub scouts and math club it is. Jack then said "whoa, back the truck up, I never said I was doing math club." After a long and endless converation we decided to do cub scouts.

LUNCH TIME!

Lunches, Lunches, Lunches

Don't you hate when you pack your child's lunch, just to have it come home barely touched.
Lately, I have been putting some thought into my son's lunches, so he will eat them.


So, I made him a sandwich kebab. I used little cookie cutters for the star shape. I used turkey, cheese and bread w/ apples on end. I break the end off so it isn't sharp and poke through the bag. You can also do this w/o the kebab and make mini sandwiches with the cookie cutters.




I have also made kebabs with just fruit and sent yogurt and crackers.


Jack cames home and said the kids ask what kind of sandwich he has.
He has now been making requests.
