Week 2

This past week the highlight for our family was Dylan starting cub scouts. It's crazy really;I never understood it when my brothers were doing it but now I find having Dylan affiliated with the program quite awesome. Dylan is really loving it too even though the first activity we did was to hand out fliers around the neighborhood for an upcoming turkey trot/ turkey collection activity for our stake. Dylan can't wait to get his uniform (which is a B.S.A. equivalent to blue and gold mint! Holy cow, they charge a lot for stuff at the scout store!) and loves his new Den Leader Sister Huston. I have been recruited as assistant Den Leader (and expected as much.) and have begun the training involved. Owen continues to try to maneuver through the quagmire he calls "life" and we all continue to refine our austere lifestyle. It's good. I'm looking forward to all of the cooking and friends that will be happening at our house this week as we celebrate Thanksgiving. This weekend I'm also making my first "for money" wedding cake for someone. I hope it turns out as awesome as I've planned it to be. The picture this week is Dylan sneaking a cookie from the cookie jar right before bed. (I hope to post the little man in his scout uniform next week.)
Happy Gobble Gobble Folks! I hope you are filled with as much gratitude for all that life gives us as I am.
Bon Appetit!
