School Carnival

Well today is the school carnival, wahoo... Being a employee at the school I am required to go and man a booth for a assigned time slot. s and e are over the moon excited about it. Little do they know, it's not free, they have to pay to play games and to eat. They are going to have to help me at my booth and they both are going to have a limited (very limited) amount of tickets to play games with. I'll keep you posted on how they do with this info. My room is going to be doing the candy walk, I'm told it's like a cake walk, but with candy. Our room has been transformed, all our toys have been put away, and our signs taken down or covered. It'll take hours to put everything back the way it was, but it's all for the good of the kids, right? Last night when I left they had the cotton candy machine going, the popcorn machine running full boar, and a bunch of kids and parents trying to get booths put together. My booth was easy, Nerf Basketball, we hung a sign, licked the basket sticky thingys, and hide the prizes under the table. Done and out of there... the festivites start at 3:00, e has been asking me all morning "Is it time yet?" I'll be glad when this day is done.




PACK MEETING

I have recently gone to my first Pack Meeting, the Blue and Gold Banquet... Being a mother of a new Cub Scout and a new Den Leader I got to go. It was quite an excerience, crazy... boys running everywhere, little brothers and sisters running everywhere. Parents standing around talking, not paying attention to their kids... the Cub Master trying to keep order and keep things moving. ahhhhhh... We were there past 9:00, it all started at 6:00pm, that's too long if your asking me. But it's all over now and we can go on with our normal den meetings, we've been getting ready for more than a month now, for this dinner. The theme was Chinese New Year, the boys had fun, I hope they learned a little along the way too.
