Tyler with his Arrow of Light plaque and arrow. It's a shame he wasn't able to attend the ceremony (all because some snot den leader wanted his uniform to look like everyone elses by me taking patches off his blue shirt and putting them on his tan shirt. Seriously? He did not violate the uniform protocol in any way. They wanted patches on his left pocket - on the tan shirts that pocket is left empty - if you want - because the point is to earn the webelos badge, which he earned at the last meeting. But, the leader was unwilling to give it to Tyler before the last meeting. So, we were not allowed to participate. I had to go pick up his plaque and arrow - and you know what???? They didn't even have his webelos badge! Bastards! That's alright - next time I'm in the area I'll buy him one because he earned it. And, on the plus side, and I never would've said this before, I've got Tyler to agree to give up the scouting - "for now" he says. :)

Then, the next pic is of Joshua measuring Silent Sunflower's growth. So far, it is official - Music Sunflower is growing faster. Of course, Sky is questioning light, etc. Well, to be truthful Silent probably gets much more light although I did try to be equal in their placement. There is no direct sunlight in either room. Silent is in the pool (table) room and there are 5 windows, and he's in the bay window so he's pretty surrounded. Music is sitting in a room with only 1 big window. All in all it's pretty evened out, though. Silent has a tree on one side to block an excess of light. Besides, Joshua is six and in kindergaren. ? It doesn't have to be perfect. The whole point is: Does music help a flower to grow? It would seem so but I'd really have to investigate the science behind that. MOST likely - it is conditioning (room conditions, etc) but, like I said - it's Joshua's project. He's watering, measuring, and will report his findings. It's fun!
