Get Your Boy Scout Popcorn Here!

So Joshua is the next Ganote Salesperson.  He did his part to sell popcorn this weekend with his Troop.  He had the line down and knew the prices of his product.

It took me a minute, and some interpretation, but the tag line is "Get your Boy Scout popcorn here, right here right now, or make a donation".   He just looks so darn cute in his uniform.

Here he is with another kid in his troop.

Had an interesting car weekend.  Took the Toyota Avalon in on Friday to have 4 new tires and an alignment.  Woke up Saturday with Matthew's van not able to start.  Did our rounds of Soccer / T-ball and at the Tball field had to call my mom back to give us a jump in the van.  Took the van in to get a new battery and switch out for the Avalon.  Was "sluggish' driving out of the parking lot and the air conditioning died on the way home.  Yippee.  Matthew and Joshua went to sell popcorn and on the way back the Avalon completely died on Sargent Road - even the hazards wouldn't stay on.   So back to the car repair place with the Avalon again for a new alternator and a new belt that is snapped when the alternator broke.  Ugh!  I hate car expenses!  That went the extra we had gotten the last couple pay checks.  Oh, well, at least we were able to get it done.

Layne had Girl Scouts today.  They went to a no kill animal shelter - which she loved!  Sounds like they are wanting the girls to consider this to be their project for the Silver Award the next 3 years.  Layne would love that!

Matthew had wanted to go in to work today, Sunday, but with all the added car needs, he wasn't sure how to get it in.  But, he and I took advantage of time alone with Joshua (Layne at Girl Scouts and Jacob at Conner's) to take him out to lunch and have a few minutes with just him.  He of course, enjoyed this.  So after this Matthew went in to work after taking Joshua and I up to get the Avalon - AGAIN.  Joshua and I got Layne, then went to Conner's to get Jacob, and then took Jacob and Layne to church for Sunday Night Catalyst.  Layne got very annoyed with Jacob when we arrived - not sure what that was about.  Joshua and I then went back and picked them up at 7:15 p.m.

Came home, where Jacob immediately declared that he had a headache and his stomache didn't feel good.  I asked him if he felt okay at Conner's and he did, of course.  I guess it's just his family that makes him sick.  He had about an hour and a half of homework.  We made mini hotdogs for the kids to eat and by about 8:30 p.m. Matthew came home.

Still feeling weighed down with the house and money.  But, I will focus on the joy of my family and the time with Jacob, Layne, and Joshua.
