AZ is beautiful this time of year

All-

 

My turn to do the weekly update so here you go. 

 

It's been a busy week...lots of scouting.  I've been asked to be part of the Cub Scouts so we had Pack Mtg this week.  It went really well except that it involved some dry ice and well no one told me that liquid would be involved so when I broke the ice up, I also poked a hole in the plastic bowl.  While setting up I showed the Cub Master but he said it was fine.  During the ceremony he told the boys they would be pouring liquid on the dry ice.  I immediately went for some paper towels, it went straight through the bowl onto our electric fire.  Fortunately we were able to get the liquid under control before it got crazy. 

 

Then when I tried to paint the boys faces with some symbolic lines, the paint was dry.  So we had a few minutes of panic until we found some face pencils that worked.  

 

Mary Ann then taught a family merit badge and came home telling me she would never have boys.  If we have one, we're taking it back I guess.  "They never pay attention and are just rude."  Talking all the time, etc.  So pray for girls everyone.  I'm still secretly praying for boys, but don't tell MA. 

 

Sat was exciting as I woke up and trimmed the REALLY overgrown Bougainvillas out front.  The neighbors loned us a trimmer and blower so I whipped through them really quick.  We then went on our Sat ritual (Shopping).  MA usually has a list of stores that we need to hit, so we started at Home Goods a new store that is like Marshalls but specializes in home stuff.  We bought a new chandelier for the entry.  Then we were off to Jo Ann's to get paint for the chandelier.  They had a sale going on and it was incredibly packed so when I found out that the spray paint was locked up (spray paint is the number one shoplifted item) I went to customer service to get the key but the line was so long I convinced MA that it was best we left.  She says I threw a fit, and maybe I did, cause I really can't stand to stand in line to buy something.  We then went to Fry's and bought some food. 

 

MA then went to an all day Relief Society dinner and broadcast.  I painted the chandelier and and hooked it up.  Those things take quite a while.  

 

Today we had dinner with some different relatives.  Our great Grandfather Asa Brigham Scoville was her great Grandmothers's big brother.
