Friday night we had 4 11 year olds over for a sleepover. Brother Merrit and Brother Whitnah took these boys to the older scouts snow caving trip the next morning at 6:30. Cason wore his Sunday socks instead of his nice ski socks and suffered the consequences. It was good for him to learn that lesson this time instead of next year when he will actually spend the night in the snowcave. Big thanks to all of the scout leaders that make these experiences happen and take the great pictures to post!!
















































































































Also I have to mention on my blog that Samantha finally bought a flute. She has been saving all of her babysitting money for a flute. Actually she only used her spending money for this, which is only 40% of what she has actually earned. She had a couple of anonymous donations that added up to about $300 for her to actually buy the $1400 flute that she wanted. Believe it or not, most flutes were $5,000 or more. Holy Bonanza. I'm not sure I would trust a 13 year old with something that cost more than the car I drive. Her recital was last night. She did a wonderful job. I hope to be able to download a audio clip to the blog so you can hear her play. I'll be getting a copy of it from her teacher. Thanks to all that have donated to her flute though hiring her for babysitting. Now she doesn't know what she wants to save for. She still doesn't understand why she had to buy it instead of Jeff and I . She will be so proud of herself when she is older. This will be one of those stories she will tell her children.
