It's hard to believe I can complain about this face. But I can.
I know why they give the mom a pin when her son becomes an Eagle Scout. It is such a pain the patootie to get your son's project done.
I spent the entire day practically sitting on Noah while he works on his project, building a raised garden bed and re-doing flowering pots at Grandpa's nursing home. He had to call for donations and arrange lumber and soil and watering and drills and shovels and all. And I had to help him with everything. If I didn't sit on him he would go for a bike ride or call friends or take a nap. I couldn't leave him with a list of things to do because he would "lose" it.
But the look on his face when he was cold calling lumber yards looking for donations - he called 3 places that said no and was really discouraged when finally a lumber yard called back and said yes! YAY! He was thrilled! The flowers are donated, the veggies, the dirt, hardware, and now lumber!
Houston, we have an Eagle! Almost.

You are awesome to do that. He will be so glad later that he finished. They should definitely give you more than a pin! A trophy perhaps, maybe a spa day!
