Week 15 - Sod Removal

Underfoot met with his leaders for a Scoutmaster conference for his Scout Rank. They took their time to be through with him on seeing if he mastered the skills for the Scout Rank. Later that evening there was an informational meeting for the 11 year old camp out in June.

Hurricane has been on crutches for the week and has mastered the skill of using them well. One day after picking him up from school he said that his armpits hurt and wanted to see the chiropractor. We took him to the chiropractor. When the chiropractor didn't pop his armpits, Hurricane asked how he was going to fix the problem. In the process of his adjustment, Hurricane startled the chiropractor by faking falling off the table. We all laughed hard.

The Wolf den went on a compass scores for their activity.

Since Hurricane was on crutches, his leaders at different times would carry him on their backs. That is real dedication of a Cub Scout leader.

I met with the moms to plan Teacher Appreciation week. We decided on a beach theme and created different activities for each day. Some of those activities include a favorite book, where your teacher's favorite color to school, a potato bar, ice cream sundae bar, and other fun things for that week.

Book Club discussed the book Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. The boys wanted to come to the book club because they had listen to the book as well. They enjoyed the story as I did. While I was at book club, the boys all went and helped a family move.

On Saturday we took out all of the sod in our front yard. After working on it Friday evening, Sweetheart decided he would take the sod out of the ground while the rest of us shook off the dirt. On Saturday as he began this process, he realize he would be dead tired and not even finish half of one section. He rented a sod cutter.

Our neighbor across the street didn't have anything going on and came to help Sweetheart with the process. At lunchtime, Sweetheart asked for help from other people. While this was happening, I was working on a surprise project.

We listed the sod on Facebook for free. Six truck fulls of sod were taken. We were grateful we didn't have to haul the sod to the dump.
