Another year of Twilight Camp has come and gone!

Recap: I work with the Me-Toos--a delightful bunch of 3-5yr. olds who are the children of volunteers who help out at Cub Scout Twilight Camp. They usually have a Cub Scout sibling and they want to be just like their big brother--hence why they call the group Me-Toos. Frankly, I'd much rather hang out with this bunch than walk with Cub Scouts any day!

If you've read my Twilight Camp posts here and here in the past..you know I always make a list! I also realized that it's one annual activity that has made it onto my blog since I started this a little more than two years ago so I might as well keep it going!

1. Plasma Cars are THE BOMB! The best toy ever invented!
2. Popcorn is now the new favorite snack (over goldfish).
3. Watch out for flash flooding!
4. Bugs are NOT our friends.
5. Nothing like a thunderstorm to get us done faster!
6. Bigger is ALWAYS better!
7. Happy Hoppers aren't always happy.
8. Meet the Robinsons is a much better movie than Cars.
9. The only thing to do with pit balls is throw them...everywhere.
10. Cardboard boxes are great for building and they're FREE!

This year we were in a new location. And as I write this list it was actually pretty hard to come up with stuff. Things ran smoother than before and the kiddos had three times the space to eat, run and play.

Hunter attended camp for the first time as a Cub Scout (as a Wolf). Aidan was there as a Bear. Both of them had a wonderful time!

Once again, something exploded in our home as we try to pick up after Twilight Camp. Gotta watch where we step for a while.

Will I do it again next year....

Shoe Obsession

I was going through my pictures and noticed a pattern:
She probably sports a different pair of shoes a dozen times daily--so I don't have pictures of every pair she tries. Which would explain why no one can ever find their shoes on a whim. It's likely that she has walked them off to a secret hiding place. While she's wearing ladies shoes in these pictures know that she does not favor any pair over another.

Speaking of shoes...my nine year old now wears the same size I do. Dang...he's growing up.
