Running and scouting


Hi there!  Spring in KS is a beautiful time.  Here is a picture of Conner's scout troop on one of their monthly campouts.  He was chosen to be Patrol Leader this month!



The rain stopped just long enough for Grandpa to plant hint after hint in their backyard for the boys to find their Easter baskets.  Nice that the CNMs are still willing to hunt for the baskets, but the chocolate may have a lot to do with that...



Meanwhile, back at home, after the boys tore throught the bounty of their other baskets, Smink the Cat chose Conner's basket as her naptime spot.



Carson is rather reluctantly running track this season.  We are surprised that as much as he enjoys Cross Country, even running the 1600 is not high on his joy list.  But he is still powering through it, and came in fourth in the race pictured above.



Conner was on the technical crew for the school play this year.  He kind of got a face full of mermaid tail in this picture, but his obsession with fish made him perfectly comfortable with that.



The cats have a hierarchy of humans they are willing to cuddle with. Mummy is clearly at the top of the list, followed by Conner.  Carson is a distant third and Daddy is at the bottom of the list.
