Boy Scouting is so much more fun that Cub Scouts, IMHO. The kids are more mature and I love the way that Boy Scouts is organized to let the kids do most of the work. It's been great experience for my DS.

My DH is an asst. scoutmaster, so he goes on ALL of the camping trips and brings DS along. Which means DD & I have the house to ourselves.

well, I can't get the girls to go anywhere this weekend...so hopefully they'll find things to do and play nicely without fighting! I'm thinking they'll be allowed to do pretty much whatever they want- computer time, tablet, games, whatever! Hopefully my husband will be willing to break up any arguments and make meals!!

excited for a full scrapping weekend (well, aside from Church on Sunday! Hopefully some extra time will be allowed for those speed scraps!) I know from past experiences, i won't be chatting much, but trying to catch up on the scrapping aspect instead!

I might organize a few photos to get them ready!!! Yay! Can't wait until Friday!

that's exactly why I'm glad he's moved up. It was getting too much for him to be around 1st graders. LOL

And that's what I loved about Cub camping though - DH had to go. Neither likes to camp, so it's hard to push them out the door. I love having a weekend with my DD all alone!!! I'll miss a couple chats because we have plans to help at church and go to the Disney store to finish spending her cruise gift cards she didn't use on the boat

Getting so excited! This evening I started making a list of pages I have ideas for and how many pics they are so I can easily find a template on the fly. And made a grocery list so Friday morning I can go buy snacks to keep me full of scrapping energy.

Just a question about the times... These times are set in EST or in EDT? Because I know some regions already have Daylight Saving Time... Or should I focus on GMT?
Anyway, I'm a bit mixed up of when my own speed scrap should start... And since I won't be home while hosting (it's my sister's birthday and she decided to invite everyone for lunch instead of teatime/dinner), I have to know at what time I have to be around to host it!

[Aussiegirl]

I feel like a yoyo! Apparently now my ARE going to their grandparents. Their cousins will be there for the weekend, so they are going overnight also! Yay!

Romajo while I don't know exactly how to answer you, I do know that my time is EST and we have already done our daylight savings time if that helps you? (I'm in Michigan in the US). Not sure how else to help you though! Sorry!

Here on the east coast we are in EDT right now. We switched over on March 8th.

Hope this helps you.

Okay, maybe be more specific...
The speed scrap marathons we have had before were during the winter, before DST went active in the States. Here in Holland we will have 'summertime' (as we call it) going active the last weekend of March, so we don't have it yet...
Anyway, the thing that confuses me the most is if the time schedule is at EST or at EDT, which makes an hour difference. Normally for me there's a 6 hour difference between where I live and New York City, now there's only 5 hours difference.
Also, when things are scheduled at EST and you are at EDT you will experience an hour difference as well...
Anyway, I want to know if the times are EST or EDT, so i know at what time I have to start...

Thanks for your replies anyway! I might send Melinda the question as well!

The times are EDT. There is a 5 hour difference between you and the east coast right now.
