Hurrah! (OT)

Congratulations! (You should get a badge, too. *grin*)

I get a "mom pin" actually.

Thanks. This one has been a bit crazy as the project he had planned fell apart last week. So, last Thursday we found a whole new project, got it approved Friday and had our first work day Saturday. It's been a bit nuts around here.

In our troop we have some kids with less involved parents. We are lucky to have great leaders who do step in and help above and beyond. Most boys can't do something this big without someone encouraging and guiding them though.

Yay!! I am sure there are a lot of homeless feathered friends out there that will be very grateful for all your hard work.

Congratulations to both of you, Marcella! Eagle Scout is an awesome achievement. :)

Thanks!

It is very cool to think that all these boxes could really become homes for owl families. Right now, we're just working on keeping the squirrels out before we can deliver them.

marcella

Congrats to you guys! That is one HECK of an achievement!!! O_o :)

I may end up asking for your advice ... I've got a Cubmaster and a WeBeloS II in the house ... :)

We've been lucky so far, though ... you mentioned in another post the parents who don't take much of an interest in their son's scouting ... we've been blessed (our Den most of all) with parents that truly care and spend as much time as my hubby does making it a wonderful experience! And that's a LOT!! :)

Bravo! Good job Marcella & to your son as well. What a great mom you are! I'm sure there will be some happy little owls next spring.

50 bird houses is quite the task Marcella, wow! Congrats to both you and your son. Hoping you can pursue more "pieceful" endeavors soon..........

Well, he takes his driving test on Monday ;-) The rule was no eagle, no license. I thought it would spur him on. I thought wrong.

Yes, we've had neighbors stop by and want to get one or build their own. People have been very interested in the project which has been good.

marcella

Thanks!

Have fun with your cub scouts! The boys are so fun then and everything is exciting.

marcella

Howdy!

Sounds like some summer-time income. ;-)

Congrats to all of you: Eagle Scouts don't get there alone.

Oh, the driver's license thing: Egads! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!! Danger-Danger-Will Robinson!!!! oops, sorry, flashback there. New drivers at our house had to drive alone unless a parent (their own) was in the car. "Yes, you have your license, I have 'your' car." Practice before & after the new license is how I came to know and love Metallica; 11:00 p.m., driving to from his girlfriend's house, the radio station said " Mandatory Metallica!" At least something good came out of that summer. LOL

Congratulations to the new Eagle Scout, and Happy Birthday, too.

You are hilarious!

It sure made a diff for DS when he went job hunting EVERY prospective employer talked to him about obtaining it and what he did to do so. One even told him that is why he got the job instead of the other candidate.

I'm Proud of your (my) Eagle Scout

Butterfly ( do you have the bumper sticker that says the above? I have ours up in the Studio:)

Oh, yeah! Since Cub scouts, we've done more fun and exciting things than we could have ever thought of on our own ... for the past four years, we've done the USS Alabama (in Mobile, AL) and MORE!! :)

But apparently (?) when DS hits Boy Scouts, the fun family trips like that will gone by ... :( Or is that a ploy to get the women-folk to stay home so the boys can have their own kind of fun? ;)
