Cub Scout Puppet Show Practice

Tonight was practice for the Puppet Show. I think we'll be ready.

Cub Scout Halloween Party

The Halloween party was at our house this year. My favorite was playing the Wrap the Mummy Game.

Cub Scout Pack Meeting

We had our cub scout pack meeting tonight at the school cafeteria, so we're ready for the Halloween party next week at our house.

Archaeology

Mr. Coyle took the Cub Scouts rock hunting. I also remember thinking how hard it would be to measure long distances, but if you just need an estimate, 2 steps equals about a yard (for him), so he can just walk the distance, count his steps, and divide by 2 to estimate how many yards a certain distance is. It's a pretty neat trick. Cub Scouts seems a lot better than Indian Guides.

Mike at Sangree

Mom and I went to meet Mike at his Mom at Sangree once we realized we live that close to each other walking the shortcuts through Sangree field versus driving.

Home Life

Jerry and I are making a time capsule to bury in his yard. It's a picture of the American flag that fits in a film canister.

Then we went swimming at the D'Amicos. We left when it started to thunderstorm. Jerry would cover his ears with spoons whenever there was thunder. I tried to go back to his yard later and work on the time capsule more without him, but he caught me.

Then we made plans to go camping together when we get older. We used a camping catalog to pick out everything we would need. I have a feeling it's never going to happen though.

By then, it was time to wait for my dad to get off the van. While we were waiting, a bird pooped on my head. It felt rather traumatic at the moment, but I'm fine now.

Penalty

We played Will's team today at soccer. Will lives next door. I stopped him on a penalty shot sliding on my knees, but he got the rebound and scored. I never thought about worrying about the rebounds before, but that's something a goalie ought to do if he can.

I left early when I got some lime in my eye. The doctor gave us some orange drops to put in my eye and make it all better, but it seems like it just makes everything orange. That's good for someone who plays on the Orange Crush team. I hope there are cut oranges next week for snack, so we can put them in our mouth and look like we have big orange teeth.
