Going Batty

Cutest little bat ever. I told Max Happy Halloween this morning and he asked me right away if he could put on his costume. He wore his costume all day- except his nap because he was too hot. Max LOVED Halloween and trick-or-treating with the kids.

Happy Halloweeny

Have I mentioned that Halloween is my favorite holiday? I think I mention it every year. Pam sent me these and I thought they were worth sharing. I especially liked Helda. Maybe I have a little Helda in me.

The USVWs

I was recently called to volunteer with nine year old boy scouts- The Bear Den. I don't have any brothers so Boy Scouts is a foreign concept. My knowledge and participation in Girl Scouts is strictly confined to cookie consumption. Fish out of water is a mild term after leaving my first den meeting last week.

For our initiatory meeting our agenda was to come up with a den name and banner. Our bears came up with the den name the Ultimate Steel Viking Wolverines or USVWs. You thought it was some patriotic acronym but alas. I wish I had a picture of our banner which was a concoction of felt strips, dragons, shields and googly eyes glued at random. Throughout the meeting I kept thinking that in 7 short years I am going to have one of these boys myself and why does it smell so bad in here?! Do all nine year old boys have a gas problem?
