It came to pass...little Eli got to shoot his first gun and bring home the target to prove it to momma! Since sister girl didn't arrive, Nate took Eli (and Ian along for the ride) to the Cub Scout 'campout' (they didn't camp out) on Saturday. It all came true...what that uniform clothed stranger promised in Eli's school cafeteria...the boys got to shoot all kinds of stuff and fish and get really dirty! Needless to say he has requested to please have the uniform now; I had been putting that purchase off to see how his interest would hold up. I'm happy for him but more so that Nate really connected with the 'scouts' idea for the first time and saw many many fathers and sons bonding on Saturday. I guess that is just one of many good things about having boys (you get a little free time when the Dad's have to serve male duty on such activities). But hey, I'm all up for a little spa and shopping time with baby Elizabeth in about 5 years! =)

Crud. We so made the wrong decision in not going. It is all I heard about from Mason on the way to school. Eli handled it okay, but I was so sad we didn't go I thought I was going to tear up. Bad Mom/Dad Decision Making. Bad.
