The Kassel Family Project Life 365

I dropped Andy and John off at Lake Ozark Scout Reservation for four days of Cub Scout camp.  John is very excited to work on Thundermen and to have some time at camp.  They loved it last year and I am looking forward to hearing about their adventures this year when I pick them up on Wednesday night.  Have fun boys!

Put anything on the floor and they will lay in it or on it.  This time, it is our soft side cooler.  First, it was Topanga.

Then, it was Josefina.  Cats!

Andy picked Laura up from Finbrooke Girl Scout camp today.  She said there was more downtime this year than last year, but she still had lots of fun.  Laura was definitely happy to have her phone back and also to get to sleep in her own bed.  I am super happy to have Laura home!  I missed her!

Laura’s return from camp led to this little gem from John.  This morning, I told John that he would not get to see Laura after she got back from camp because he is going to a sleepover at a friend’s house.  He said, “I don’t care, Mom.  She’s kind of annoying.”  I told him that was not nice and shook my head.  This evening, on the way to his sleepover, we called Andy and Laura, so that John could say good night to his Daddy (and his sister).  After we hung up the phone, John said, “I lied this morning, Mom.  I really do kind of miss Laura.  She’s a cool sister.  Just please, please don’t tell her.”  I was not sure if my heart should be happy that he thinks she is cool or laugh out loud at the “please, please don’t tell her.”  So, I did both!

John kept referring to himself as a unicorn tonight.  Apparently, his hair is the horn…

Long Day of Meetings = Comfy Clothes and Chocolate Martinis.  It is good to be home.

John’s new, tan shirt is all ready for his last Cub Scout camp next week!  He and Andy leave on Sunday for Camp Hohn.  John is very excited because he will be inducted into Thundermen by the end of camp.  In February, he will move up to Boy Scouts.  Time, you move too fast.  It seems like just yesterday that John put on his first blue shirt and was nervous to attend his first Tiger meeting…
