The 3rd grade class did a Veteran's Day program at school. A month or so ago Tyler came home and said they were doing the program. I asked if he had a part and he said no, I don't want a part. Then the day before the program he came home and said, "Guess what, I'm doing the flag ceremony." My first thought was great!!! Then I remembered that I had never put any patches on Tyler's scout shirt. I didn't even have all the patches. So after cub scouts I went to the store to buy everything...thank goodness we have a store here that carries a few scouting things. Then after the kids were in bed I started on the patches. My sewing machine wasn't working so I had to sew them all by hand. I was up until after 11 pm and my hands hurt so bad, but they got done. I was very glad the next day when Tyler stood up to lead the flag ceremony and he was the only cub scout doing it. They had 2 veteran's carrying the flag. I was so proud of him (even when he was saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the state flag for a few words). AND...this was the first year he actually sang. What more could a mom ask for?
