Blue & Gold

Happy Birthday Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts!

We celebrated 100 years of Boy Scouts in America

tonight at Joseph's Blue and Gold.

Joseph earned 3 belt loops - kickball, collecting, & map and compass,

the map and compass pin,

and 2 more silver arrows.

He has been working hard to get his collecting belt loop

(and pin - he still has a few more things to do for the pin),

and tonight he displayed his 50 state quarters,

and his Lego collection.

Completing his Lego creations has been quite a project.

It started out with one big bucket of Lego blocks,

everything mixed together,

then Joseph and I began sorting all the Lego pieces by color,

and storing them in containers that way.

Once that was done we began taking one set of instructions at a

time and finding all the pieces that belonged to it.

It has really been a huge project, complicated by the fact that another

inventor in the house kept borrowing pieces from Joseph's finished works,

and kept dumping all of the colors on the floor, together.

But we persevered, and the end result was well worth the effort.
