Today Jacob received his Webelos badge at the Cub Scout Pack Meeting. He definitely likes awards, and it was nice that he got to come up on stage and receive the badge with one of his fellow scouts.
It seems like the mosquitoes are out in full force, as Tim, Jacob and I seem to be bitten a bit at night. This morning Jacob complained about it when I woke him for school, and Tim said they kept waking her up. I get bit on the fingers and hand a fair bit, perhaps because most of me is covered with a blanket. For some reason, the mosquitoes avoid Nalin and Aleena's room.
I'm enjoying getting back into a new workout routine. In the three days the kids have been back to school, I've swam one kilometer each day, ran twice (albeit shorter runs) and lifted weights twice.
Today Tim went to ceremony for the opening of a new court house in the county where her business is located. She gave a donation and was invited to receive a pin from the Crown Prince. She also had her photo taken with him, although she won't get that for a little while. She had to be there a few hours before the Prince arrived, and there was some type of rehearsal as to how you are supposed to act and what you should do. They gave each person a number that signified the order they were to go up to receive the pin. Apparently, the inability to wait in a line is not limited to checking out at retail and fast food outlets. Tim said some older ladies were trying to cut in line, but someone firmly told them to wait their turn and they did. I really don't understand the hurry here. Its not like you get to leave when you get your pin. If you are first in line, you still have to wait for everyone else. Tim said she did not wear enough jewelery, as apparently a lot of the ladies were decked out in their finest.
