Cub Annapolis

I don't know if I mentioned before I'm a cub scout den leader. Yes I am! When I got the call I was like.."No way!!... those boys are going to kill me!  I have no classroom management skills!" Well the manual teaches ways to help that! The first thing is says to deal with the fact that they will never be silent (hehe)!

I thought that the boys would be better then my 4 year-old... no, they are just bigger, but I love those boyz manic energy! Its adorable at pack meetings when they run up and show me all the awards they won. Looking at their excitment the hours I spent on paperwork, and getting the awards to them melt away! They have accomplished something and its building them up! Love it!

So tonight we put together a cubannapolis which is where one turns cardboard boxes into cars and race. Not as exciting as a zombie attack but you tube has some semi entertaining videos of leaders looking silly! I spent alot of time painting boxes. I'm hoping for a fun activity!

Long Ago my blog went silent

Long, long, long ago I was a semi-decent at blogging. Then a year ago life fall...I  mean I fall missed two steps and shattered my knee cap. It was insane that  missing two small steps on stairs and falling on the y-bike which I was carrying would shatter my cap into a million pieces. When I went to the ER and told them what happened and that I have cerebral palsy. Then they played the stupid card of "what you can walk? Yes, like I just said that is how I fall carrying a cumbersome bike down the stairs!"  I know I'm anomaly I can walk and run not perfectly straight...but I get around! Yes, my dream to run a 5k that summer was shattered too! Though the insurance company thinking that a third party( think mob or Tonya Harding)  involved gave me a few giggles knowing I broke such a rare bone to break by oneself.

I still have a hard time developing that  leg muscles, so its been a bit depressing at times along due to the fact that I got two toddlers to run after. Though one bonus was Peanut self potty-trained at that point. It was AWESOME, he did everything himself even washing his hands.  Grateful for all friends and family that have provided for so much support! WE went to Texas last year without Mr Incredible(was serving his country for two weeks) during the 109 degree weather(yuck!) and discovered Peanut have severe allergies to cats so much he can't be at homes with them! Poor Peanut and we discovered that dogs and cottonwoods are included on that list. on the other hand he has no food allergies--yay!

 So last night, Mr Incredible spoiled me with an at home day spa night it was amazing! He always spoils me! I love him! So that is the last few years in a nutshell.
