Artist
We recently went to a restaurant that was remodeling, so they were letting the kids draw on the walls with markers. How fun! Mom wanted to get down there with Daniel and draw!! So we rooted through our Toy Story Uno game and found a picture of Zurg. Check out the great drawing he did!! I always say that I am not a good drawer, but I am a good copier. If you look at a picture of something, it helps to draw it. I was so proud......

Rain Gutter Regatta
We're really enjoying scouts and tonight was our first real event - the Rain Gutter Regatta. (it's similar to the pinewood derby but not as high pressure) Daniel and Pop made his boat from a kit and then Daniel painted and decorated it himself. (with a U of L theme of course) They had it on the parking lot at the church and each child got to race his boat 4 times - against various opponents. It was a good opportunity to practice winning and losing gracefully. He lost the first bout and had a few tears in his eyes but he showed great maturity. I was so proud of him! No melt down, just a little bit of disappointment that he was able to suck up and then we were focused on learning from how the other kids were doing it and what we could do differently. He won his next 2 races and then lost the last. He had a great time, showed self control and we were so proud!
Our little boy is growing up. I can't believe he is eight years old. What a big boy!
