This Monday was President's Day, and the Sm'Arties had a guest art teacher. This guest teacher, with his background in Scouting and Tree Surgery, was the perfect one to teach the Sm'Arties how to tie a few knots. He's trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent - He's my husband!
He taught the Sm'Arties to tie
six Boy Scout knots. Each person had a section of rope.
We tied square knots, double half-hitches, bow lines, sheet bends, clove hitches, and taut-line hitches.
He's got style
And then I fell into the well. (It's a pretty shallow well.) I shouted, "Help! I need some Sm'Arties to come save me!!!"
Sm'Arties to the resuce! They tied a rope to the swing set, but it didn't reach.
So they attached the ropes end to end.
I am saved! Hurray for the Sm'Arties!
It was an awesome lesson. The boys are still tying knots. What a great life skill for them to have!
