Full throws of Motherhood

So you kind of think the early years are rough. Middle night feedings, spit up, tantrums and the sort. We all can't wait until our kids go back to school and life gets easier. Well its not, big shock to some of you out there. The emotional battles are definitely harder and more raging, the amount of arguing going on with me, sheesh. But this Saturday has tested my limits beyond what is normal for a individual like me, yes folks badge sewing and scrapbookin sort of. So first off I had to go buy Parker's scout uniform, read earlier posts to see my thoughts on that. I have no idea what in the world I am supposed to buy and like I always do, I just wanted to buy the bare minimum, no centennial patches for him or shiny gold stars that aren't a minimum requirment. So $45 later I left with the basics.  Then it was off to Hobby Lobby a mother in the throws mecca the get the necessary things for this project and the necessary things for my 2nd motherhood test, a poster for Cooper all about him. He is of course Student of the Week, and somehow all Parker's past teachers did not require such an endeavor, so for the first time I am having to get creative and artsy and put together a montage to show off to the class. So Hobby Lobby was going to solve both my poster and scouting needs. And being the great mom that I am, I tried to include Cooper in all of the process, because the instructions said to make this a family activity. So he picked out his favorite poster board its bright and his favorite color paper for his name. Anyway long story short, including swinging my scrapbooking expert friend Emily's house and after the kids went to bed, I tackled my projects. The boys tried to help but no, no, that wasn't going to do. So anyway, here is a picture of the final products. I will say the joints in my legs kill, sitting on the floor that long is painful,bohoo. And bonus points for those that figure out what is not correct on Parker's scouting uniform or go down and I'll reveal my errors. And again sorry I don't know how to format pictures better.

Ok, so clearly I cheated and used fabric glue, wow, it was so easy and I don't even know how to sew on a button, sooo... great for me. Kelly Harp and Rachel Sparks are gasping :). Anyhoo, ok so for all you scouting novices out there. I accidentely bought the bear gold slide for the neckerchief how often do you use that word? instead of the wolf slide and parker is a wolf so that will have to be switched out. And then secondly his pack number is acutally 119 but they ran out of 9s at the store, so he'll just have to join pack 11 until that comes in. And just so you know, I had to google how to tie that neckerchief and google where all those things go. because Parker already misplaced his wolfguide. Ok well, that is enough for me today, you got two posts, and I am tired and off to bed. After I unstick my fingers and apply some bengay to the ole joints.
