Rowdy Scouts

We had cub scouts today.  Man were they on one.  We worked on our Citizenship belt loop and we talked about what it means to be a citizen, what we are citizens of (state, city, nation, world, etc) then talked about the difference between being a good citizen and a bad citizen.  I threw out some scenarios and had them tell me whether the action was a good citizen or a bad citizen.  Then we had them make a poster of something they could do to be a good citizen.  We had a couple that didn't want to draw, didn't want to write, didn't want to make a poster, they just wanted to play with Kelly's toys and their cell phones.  What is up with 8 year olds having cell phones?  I'm thinking we will need to call some mom's and ask them to keep the phones at home or else take them from the boys when they get there and give them back when they go home or something.  Anyway, we finally finished the poster and then we frosted cookies to take to the widows in the neighborhood.  They were running in peoples yards, playing in their fountains, throwing things.  We had to stop after the 2nd house and give them a talk on what we had already spent the first half of scouts talking about, being a good citizen, being respectful, and how to treat other peoples property.  They did calm down a bit and were much better at the last house we went to and then they even said thank you to us as their leaders when we finished.  So, hopefully something sunk in.  Maybe I was just being cranky, but they had way too much energy for me to handle today.

When I got home we rushed out to Trevin's last football game.  They lost again.  He did have a fun season though and he doesn't usually take it too hard when he loses.  Is that a bad sign or a good sign?

When we got back I started on dinner and Travis and Tyrel headed to young men's where they played Human Clue.  They had to figure out who kidnapped the Bishop.  They said it was fun.

Sean got the bid for the company in California that is buying the apartment complexes in Salt Lake.  So exciting!
