Get It Free While You Can!

I played my hymn arrangements (mostly incomplete) for some of my family on Sunday, and Paige demanded that I give her a copy. Actually, she asked nicely. So, here's a link to the only one I've transcribed so far. Once I collect enough, I'll try to sell a book or something, so get it free while you can!

4-Year-Old Seeks Husband; Must Be Able To Dance

A couple of days ago, Camary (our 4-year-old) came wandering into my room and said, "I still don't know who I'm going to be married to."
Me: "Oh yeah?"
Camary: "Maybe it will be Skyler's dad." (Skyler is one of Camary's friends.)
Me: "I think Skyler's dad is already married."
Camary, in a resigned tone: "I know."
Me, jokingly: "What about Beau?"
Camary: "The kitty?"
Me: "Yeah."
Camary: "No, he doesn't dance very well."

Camary frequently wonders who she is going to marry, usually assuming it will be someone's dad or one of Ryan's friends, so I tried to explain to her that her husband is probably about four years old right now. She gave me a look that said, "Right, like I'm going to marry a 4-year-old!"

So, if you know any 4-year-old boy out there, send him Camary's way in about 12 years. Just remember: He has to be able to dance.

Okay, back to the post.

Cub-anapolis 500 was the theme for pack meeting on Tuesday. The cubs decorated cardboard boxes to race in. Sam and Finlay turned theirs into pigs (purple and pink, respectively).

They raced three laps around the gym, with their families acting as the pit crew.

Finlay getting his windshield goggles washed.

Gas for Finlay.

Even Camary got into the action!

This is one of the most fun pack meetings I've ever been to, and I've been attending pack meetings for eight straight years now. After the race we had "flat tires." Doughnuts with ice cream on top covered in chocolate syrup. Oh, so yummy!
