1. You must take the plastic blade guard off your razor for it to do any good when you shave your legs; and, if you get as far as I did before realizing it, you should go to bed earlier on Saturday nights.
It is humanly possible for me to eat fish and not die ( as long as it has enough salsa and cilantro on it).
You can feed children civilized boneless, skinless chicken their whole lives and instinct will still allow them to rip meat from the bones of some poor animal if it is placed before them with a pool of bbq sauce.
For Scouts today, we hiked to Battle Creek Falls. Actually, Sister Tunnell and her boys, Me and my boys, and Carson hiked to the Falls. We have 4 other boys in our den, but none of them could make it. The hike is only 1.6 miles round-trip, but, boy, was it steeper than I remember! The reward at the end makes it all worth it, though. The waterfall is beautiful! The boys played in the freezing water and ran through the water at the base of the falls. I played photographer so I could have a chance to sit and catch my breath!

My three boys on the bridge that crosses the river. Last time we went on this hike, you had to cross through the water.

( I know this is an ugly collage, but there were so many pictures to post! The top and left sides are our toolboxes. The bottom right corner is our volcanoes.)
We've been trying to make Scouts a little more fun for our boys and I've really had fun myself.
A couple of weeks ago, we had out First Ever ScoutaPalooza! Oh, I can tell you're jealous already and you don't even know what we did! My partner's husband has tons of wood working tools and he taught us all about them. Then, he helped us build some awesome toolboxes! Thanks so much Brother Tunnell - you're time, patience, and talents are so appreciated! We also worked on knot tying and roasted some hot dogs and mallows for our outside cooking achievement. (Don't tell anyone, but we roasted over the grill because we've had so much rain that my backyard and my wood were all soaked).
Last week, we built our volcanoes. We were supposed to build them at ScoutaPalooza, but we ran out of time. The boys cut out their posterboard volcanoes and decorated them in the kitchen and seriously looked at me funny when I said we had to erupt them outside! Again, my partner, Sister Tunnell, was great and got right in there with the vinegar ( I think she had more fun than the boys!). We had the best time ever watching the vinegar/baking soda/ red food coloring mixture run down the road!
