Just felt like yakking... and not helping the kids with homework.
So my kids have a lot of homework. It's annoying. I hated it when I was in school. When my mom asked me about college I looked at her like she had two heads. I was SO glad to be out of "the Institution"... but I do understand the importance of education and have quite an inquisitive mind, so of course I have helped my children and tried to encourage them at every turn. This has included providing fabric, paint, wire, yarn, styrofoam, duct tape, and origami paper whenever they need it for projects. It's included helping a child write a page-long poem - In FRENCH. It has involved power tools and has kept me up all night before, several nights. ALL night like we finish up, have a glass of chocolate milk, and Dad gets up for work... Ok so I am a little burned out right now. I finally got the Gifted Child graduated so the project load should go down considerably.
I think it's time for some totally waste of time grown up chat with some lady friends over Mexican food!

Philip's Eagle Court of Honor
Here Ye Here Ye!
Philip's Court of Honor had to be a little different.... Just because we are a little different!
Usually these are solemn affairs. Someone important talks about goals and someone else talks about achieving your plans... you know. Tearful parents. Yech.
We miss doing pack meetings, yes it's true, there is a little theater in both of us and we love to make things fun. It's one of the best things about our family.
So Greg thinks and thinks... and finally decides there will be a court allright. More like a witch trial.
So he tells me what he wants, I write the script, we run all over town making it happen. Order wigs online. Order cakes. Pick up costumes, platforms, cakes, napkins, etc. All the logistics to make something like this happen. And we managed to do it all without the subject of all the flurry having any idea. HA!!
The Judge is a lovely member of our ward with an incredible bass.
The Attorney is a real live attorney, one of my two bosses at work.
We got a real drummer from the Lafayette High Mighty Lion Marching Band, and the Comeaux Junior ROTC provided our Color Guard...
