When I Grow Up...

This month's Cub Scout Pack Meeting, and Blue and Gold Banquet, was centered around the them "When I Grow Up." We ate Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner.  Dessert was provided by the boys who made and decorated cakes revolving around the theme.  Carter had a hard time narrowing down the cake he wanted to decorate, because he wants to be so many things when he grows up.  The final decision came after he wrote a story The Hidden Invisible Ninja's and received great praise from his 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Skov.  He wants to be an Author of short stories, when he grows up.  I must admit that he does have great potential in writing.  Here is his decorated book-cake.  (And delicious, it was!)
 Carter's Bear Den made instruments and performed a musical number.  They played and sang Jingle Bells, very fitting with the snowy weather we have been having.  Carter made a drum with some black leather and a tin food storage can. 
It was a lovely performance!
 When it was time for awards, Carter received the Employee of the Month Award because he worked really hard and earned his Bear Award.  He has a whole year to earn it before his 10th birthday in November, but he completed the requirements in 5 months.  He also earned his Religious Knot Award by completing the requirements in the Faith in God Handbook.  He did a really
great job!  Congratulations Carter!
 Even Mom gets a pin for his Bear Advancement.
 Carter was sweet this time pinning it on.  He was very careful and considerate in asking where I would like him to pin it on me.
 Here is his Employee of the Month Award.
Great job Carter!  Keep up the good work!
We love you!
