A Few More Random Pictures

Here are a few more recent pictures including shots from an evening where Nora honed her face painting skills. She came up with a “menu” of designs she was confident with and then set about painting every cheek (and some foreheads) in the house. The menu entry for the cat nose and whiskers was especially cute since it came with optional “angry eyebrows”

Nora tried out her face painting on Dad.

They had to practice on his forehead due to stubble.

A Few Random Pictures

Here are a few random pictures from recent events including Kai’s stint as a volunteer victim at the Boy Scout first aid day. Kai’s job was to play a Cub Scout who spent the day in the woods and came back to camp all itchy. Each group of scouts would provide first aid under that watchful eye of the adult who was scoring their performance.

Crystal was in Oman so we did a McDonald dinner and a movie night with much of the neighborhood.

Here one of the Boy Scouts gets docked points for touching an itchy cub scout without putting on gloves.

Kai hones his sense of victimhood. Kai played an itchy poison ivy victim for the boy (and girl) scouts to practice first aid on.

Here he was a little nervous because the next group up was...(whisper) girl scouts and they were going to give him first aid.

Nora and her bike with basket removed. Bike baskets are soooo kindergarten.

Nora cookin' up a batch of beanies and wienies.

As she would stir pieces of hot dog would, accidentally, pop out of the sauce pan and onto the cutting board to cool.

Kai reads the paper every morning. Only occasionally does he also put on Dad's shoes.

Cub Scout Campout

Once again I am a few weeks behind the times in getting pictures posted but here are a few from the recent Cub Scout campout. Highlights included fire making, building a catapult, a night time scavenger hunt and winning the desert cookoff by cooking chocolate cake in an orange. We woke up the next morning a rare gentle rain which wasn’t strong enough to be unpleasant but was perfect to focus everyone on a speedy breaking of camp.
