Well We Survived! (by sarah)

We survived - no fatalities or anything! And we let ten yr olds loose with screw drivers!

I was right about the photo thing - I took photos but have to wait and see if the perants will sign the forms so I can use them.

Al was fantastic with the kids - and he looks soooooo cute in the uniform 🙂

His cubs are all obsessed with dinosuars!

My Beavers are obsessed with Bob and blowing things up!

The Scouts - all four of them are really really scarily enthusiastic and one of them appears to be Harry Potter!?! But they made the rocket luancher and had a great time jumping on the bottle to launch the rockets - the girls team won of course! So inorder to stop the war of the sexes from properlly braking out the teams where splite for the next game.

We are tired now - Bobble also appears to have picked up a tummy bug this week as we had more vomit today - only once we got back though thank god. This resulted in us washing her, the baby gym and her road map rug 🙁 We still have alot of tidying to do - the furniture which was rearranged for the carpet shampooing hasnt yet gone back into place - SIGH.

Anyway it was fun- even if one of the leader people said that girls couldnt read maps and use compasses - and it was a she - I said yes they can - eeek now I have to teach them erm I can do triangulation does that count?

The Nerves have set in (by sarah)

EEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonights going to be our first meeting - Beavers, Cubs and Scouts!

But we're not nervous oh no - not one little bit! Its not like I've bitten all my nials off or anything. Still I'm sort of excited too 🙂

The itinary for tonight is something along the lines of :

Colouring in and games for beavers - possible making a little beaver each for them. Not sure about cubs as thats Als domain. Then for Scouts we are making a rocket launcher - unfortunatly we are not allowed to use any explosives!

Bit bit nails - Argh!!!!!

Still I get a cute mascout - I have named it Bob - as all things are want to be named 🙂

I may or may not take piccies tonight - I think there might be some horrible regulation that says I need written permission from the perants or something like that :-/

I was mean to Minni :( (by sarah)

We were on the landing and Minni was sitting next to the changing table which due to showers etc... was not on the bath. Jean used said changing table to stand up and walk over to our little black shadow. Things were going well with Jean making her sudo cat word noises - then Jean tried to stroke/poke/hit Minni, there was a hiss and a snapping of jaws and a crying baby and me acting on mothers instict chasing the cat away!

Poor Minni hadnt even biten Jean but the sudden agressiveness of the cat had been enough to frighten Jean whom the kittens willingly take cuddles from. But I didnt stop to think my instincts told me - something attacking baby - MUST PROTECT.

I feel bad as Minni is so highly strung as it is and nervous - we normal make sure Jean doesnt scare her but didnt realise the furry feline was sitting there.

Still I think I am forgiven for ousting the kittens who are Minnis arch emimies!

Poor Bobble (by sarah)

We came back from writting class which was great - and Jean behaved fantastically - she was soooooo good! But then as Al went to get her out of the van when we arrived home, she prjectile vomited all over the inside of the van 🙁

Jean is now sleeping peacefully after some initial wailing and needing hugging - we however have just finished using the upholstery attatchment on our carpet cleaner as milky vom had sunk right into the seats. We still have to make our dinner and do the rubbish - oh well its only ten past midnight things could be worse.
