So, Mom's....I thought I'd do a post on preparing for an Eagle Court of Honor. If you have an LDS, 8 year old son, I just want to warn you. You've just signed on for a minimum of 6 years (though it might be up to 9 years of scouting) till it is even within the realm of possibility of your son getting their Eagle. Frankly, sometimes it feels like you've signed up for life. So the day B passes his Eagle Board of Review, I celebrate thinking its finally done, finally over, last son! But no! No one told me about how many letters I would have to send to politicians and celebrities asking for recognition certificates, or the extra badges I would still need to sew on, the photos I need to arrange for, the newspaper releases, the invitation list, the program, the thank you gifts, refreshments and decorations not to mention the scrapbook and table display. Well, let's just say, it's a good thing I love B!So, I'll be celebrating for real on May 14th when it's all really over but I confess that I'll miss the medieval duels with cardboard shields and foil mace, the Egyptian pyramids made from sugar cubes; races at the Pinewood Derby, building "the project" and the dirtiest, and most stinky smelling clothes from boy's camp! Thanks son's.... for some great memories!
