Ryan's Arrow of Light

We are so proud of Ryan for earning his Arrow of Light.  
At his celebration ceremony and Pack Meeting he showed a few of the things that he has done in Cub Scouting to earn his Arrow of Light.  He showed his collection of rocks that he earned through doing the "Earth Rocks" pin.  When we went on our trip to Arches, Bryce, and Zion, Ryan did a lot of the work on this pin.  He also showed his Rain Gutter Regatta boats and his Space Derby Rocket.  
Our amazing Cub Master invited a man from The Democratic Republic of the Congo to come speak to the boys about his country, culture, and customs.  He then demonstrated how to play a few drums and invited the boys to participate in a drum circle.  
The following evening Ryan was invited into the Scout Troop and was presented with his red scout scarf.  Ryan really loves scouts and I love all of the wonderful things it is teaching him.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
