Some Frosty Photos and a Tiger

Well, we finally have some snow. I can't even remember how long ago they kept saying it was coming, it finally did. It started out more like solid ice, but now it's sleddable snow.
It started out as an ice storm last Friday, and this is what it left. I thought the lights covered in ice looked so cool. You can pretty much see the giant icicles hanging from the wreath, but they look much cooler (no pun intended) in person. Ethan liked the icy driveway, which is pretty long. We "slung-shot" him down it, and he would veer to the side at the end and wind up in the huge heap of snow that the snowplows so lovingly placed at the end of the driveway. Kind of like our own little bunker. It's shoveled now, though, but we have the hill between us and the church next door.



OK, enough snow talk...

Ethan is officially a Tiger Cub! Yay.

We went to his first meeting on Tuesday. He had a great time. He knows a bunch of the other kids. It's a pretty big den. If any more kids join, they'll probably have to split it up. Needless to day, Glen is thrilled. I think he has been patiently waiting for close to 7 years for his son to become a Scout, and now he is. Glen has a special hat (not sure the rank or name or whatever it means), but here it is... (no, he didn't wear it to the meeting, just for this picture.)

I didn't get the Tiger baseball cap since they aren't required and he hates hats, but after seeing the other boys wearing them at the meeting, he wants one. Now if only the other boys will eat vegetables in front of him. I won't hold my breath.

I'll have to go downstairs today and take pictures of the basement. It's almost done. Just the last strip of flooring where it meets the wall so it's kinda tricky, and the thresholds. Someone he works with is going to help do those. It looks really good. It looks like an actual room! After having a concrete floor and studded, see-through walls for SO long, it's odd to have it done.
