Chandler has been looking forward to turning 8 for a long time. His birthday was May 9. He's very excited to be baptized, this will happen on May 31st, and about becoming a cub scout. Our Primary President stopped by Sunday and handed over the application as well as the Wolf Handbook. After school today Chandler and I headed to the Scout Store (I had no idea there was a dedicated store) to get some of his uniform--the shirt, kerchief, and slide. Thirty nine dollars later and a few minutes at my mom's sewing machine and Chandler was ready for his first pack meeting.
He was so excited about it all he wanted to head over to the church 15 minutes early. I convinced him it would be ok to wait ten minutes before leaving. After sitting in the parking lot for about 10 minutes we called another mom and found out the meeting had been cancelled. Needless to say my Scout was disappointed, especially since the next pack meeting isn't for 2 weeks. Oh well. We decided to go to dinner and drown our disappointment in a cookies and cream shake. After playing Road Rally on the xbox and reading Book 10 of The Series of Unfortunate Events, the evening turned out to be pretty decent. I guess that's why I couldn't get Chandler to really display his true disappointment in this pic.
We'll see how it goes in a couple of weeks and do our best to help keep up his enthusiasm as a Scout.

Cute! Stratton is going to be so jealous. Just so you know and because I don't want you to sound like a nerd, the weekly meetings are called den meetings. Pack meetings are held once a month and that is where the boys are given their awards.
