Last Night

I took Ty to ball practice, thankfully they were indoors! After that I ran him to Scouts where he's almost at his next rank advancement! (Second class) I just wished he'd see the importance of it. I was really excited for him since he's a little behind his friends (working towards Star) as all his sports have been in the way. His eye is on Eagle and he feels that's the only thing that matters. But I had to explain to him you cannot get to Eagle until you reach each advancement which are equally as important. For those of you who are Scout challenged it goes like this: Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, Life then Eagle. And while it looks like Eagle can be reached quick, it takes normally an average of 4 years to get it! A lot of us parents have said, "No driver license until you reach Eagle." I had a fellow mom come up to me and told me she was excited that I was going to camp. She told me to be sure and get a good mattress for the cot and a fleece liner for my bag. I was happy to hear another mom in our patrol (smaller group) was going for the last 5 days of camp! Woot, woot! We bunked together at Nash, the short summer camp of 3 days 2 nights.
While Ty was at Scouts Brian treated me to Ciao! Bella for dinner. I just wanted to skip to dessert. :) I tried something new of theirs, Ravioli Florentine. I always get the petite serving, which is plenty. But this dish had only 3 ravioli in a swamp of sauce. The taste was superb. The server thought I was unhappy with it and didn't charge me for it. That was super nice of him. Little did he know I was saving room for my dessert. My 'whore of all desserts' as Dom calls it. My Tiramisu! Oh, I so could go for another one now.... Just thinking of it made me smile for the day!

Peace.
