We want you! We want you as a new recruit!

I am dating myself with that slogan, aren't I? Mateo's boyscout troop had a recruitment night the other night and it was pretty successful. We had a few of his school mates join, which is awesome! We were asked to bring some snacks to offer our visitors and I made these sugar cookies. I found the fleur des lis cookie cutter at the scout shop when Mateo was a cub scout and never really found the opportunity to use it until now. My plan was to decorate the cookies a little more elabortately but I ran out of time and settled for plain royal icing. I think the blue color is more fitting for a cub scout event but oh well. They tasted good and I think that's what people cared about. A couple of pictures from the event:

Mateo delivered a speech on Summer Camp

He is a natural public speaker. I am amazed at how comfortable he is addressing a crowd of parents and peers. That's my boy!
