This past Thursday was the night that the new Beavers were invested....which is a ceremony where the children are welcomed into the 'colony' and they are congratulated by the Beaver Scout and given their neckerchief as well as some badges.
It was pretty cute watching these kiddos run around enjoying themselves, all excited that their parents were there to watch for the evening. I giggled most when the leader puts up his beaver teeth (fingers form to make look like a beaver). I learned this means that when this happens, the children are to stop what they are doing, put up their beaver sign and pay attention. Well, there were two boys that didn't recognize what was going on right away so Nicholas is over there jumping in front of them with his beaver teeth sign, not saying a word but trying to get them to pay attention. I'm still giggling!!
The next morning, Nicholas woke up extra early as he was so eager (an eager beaver!) to lay all his badges out in front of him and show them off to Mommy. Very cute. Now the problem is - um, how to get these badges sewn on his vest??? We have already tried the fabric glue (badge came off in laundry and left a big, ugly mark) ... so now what? Sewing - with a needle and thread?? Seriously?? Okay, okay...I will start working on it. Better start today if I have any hope! Poor Nicholas...I'm thinking his vest won't be the shining example!! Hey, maybe I can drop the badges off with my pants when I get them hemmed this week?? No? Darn. Okay, I will do it and do the best job possible with my

I'm pretty sure that is how my mom sewed my bowling badges onto my bowling shirt was with a needle and thread.
Don't worry, I'd be screwed too because I can't even sew a button onto a shirt. Maybe Uncle Shawn can do it...he has better sewing skills then me.
