And the poll says...

...update more frequently!!!

A full 100% of respondents think I should post more. All three of them. So, for them, here is another post. Enjoy.

PS - who was number 3?

Cub Scout

Callum joined the Cub Scouts this year. This is him in his uniform for the first time. Was there this much sewing when I was a cub? Thanks, Mum! It's amazing how you only realize these things later! Our first camping trip is at the end of October. One parent (i.e. me) has to go with him. Camping at the end of October... glad we are not in England!

No Prizes :-(

We went to the Fair this weekend, and saw Callum's picture. It looked great, but did not have a ribbon on it. There were maybe 100 pictures from each grade. He was disappointed, but OK with it. We went and won four goldfish instead.

Pennie also had LASIK on Friday, and can now see without glasses! The sleeping pills knocked her out a bit and she slept a lot, but thats what they wanted.

Seems 100% of people want me to update more frequently so far too, according to my poll! Yup - that's both me and the other person who voted... thanks Mum :-)

Callum Enters Art Contest

Just had a very excited phone call from Callum. Last week, he submitted a picture to his school for entry into the Mid-South Fair art contest. The school picks two pieces of art from each grade to submit to the competition itself. And Callum's was one of the two second grade pictures chosen!!! We are not sure when he will find out if or where he places overall, but even getting chosen is very exciting! Good job Callum!!

His picture was of a chimera fighting a fire breathing dragon. Very Callum! He had a detailed background of trees (one with a branch on fire because of the dragon) and dancing stars. I'll try to scan it when we get it back, but I might have to do it in sections, and piece it back together...
