Attacked by cats!

Don't worry, I wasn't attacked by real cats (can you imagine?). This was Lucy's handiwork.

I think I've mentioned before how much Lucy is into stickers, especially sticking them on her face. Well yesterday she thought it would be fun to put them on my face. Her favorite place to put them was on my mouth. She even put one right over both of my lips, which had to be relocated so I could talk. Do you think she was trying to tell me something? :)

Hello kitty face!

Then we moved them over to Lucy's face. She was being all shy for the camera at first but I finally got her to give me some good cheesers.

We've all been sick for the past week. I always forget how much I hate being sick until it happens. It really makes me so much more grateful for good health. It also gives me motivation to workout and eat better so I can stay healthy. We'll see how long that lasts. :)

Even though we were feeling lousy, we successfully pulled the Blue and Gold Banquet together on Wednesday night and it turned out great, thanks to our awesome committee! Hopefully all the boys and their families enjoyed it. We had a medieval theme and served rotisserie chicken, grapes, baby carrots, and rolls (thank you Costco)with no silverware, just a little mini plastic sword. The cub scouts each had a place card where we named them "Sir (insert name here)" and we borrowed some of the soft cushy chairs from the high council room so they each had a "throne". They also were given special goblets with blue and gold jewels on them and a crown to wear. When they were presented with their awards, they were "knighted" with a plastic sword. After dinner and awards, all the cub scouts had to make their way through an obstacle course to get to the end and "slay the dragon", which was a pinata that somewhat resembled a dragon. It actually turned out pretty cute, once it was all finished. As Jen & I were making it I kept laughing because it looked like a fish.

It feels really nice to have that all finished, although next month is another big one because we have the pinewood derby. We were thinking of doing a banana race for one of the rounds where the boys have to rubber band a banana to the top of their car. And then after we'll use the bananas and make banana splits for refreshments. I saw it on a blog and thought it was a clever idea.

And guess what next weekend is...................................Spring Break! Wooo hoooo! The plan is go to Washington D.C. and stay for a few nights and go see the sites. Now we just need to shake our nasty cold bugs so we can enjoy ourselves.
