“May the Force be with you.”

Yes, the Star Wars theme seems to be the costume of choice among young boys this year! At least that is what we saw at the Cub Scout Pack Meeting/Halloween Party last night. Christopher was dressed in his Anakin Skywalker costume that I made. Oops wait a minute, I forgot, Christopher changed his character, he is Luke Skywalker NOT Anakin anymore. He found out that Anakin is Darth Vader, and he wasn't happy about that!

Anyway, the party last night was super fun! Shaun was running late from work, so Anneli and I ran Christopher over and ended up staying even after Shaun got there. I wasn't planning on staying, but it looked like it was going to be too much fun to just leave and go home! The boys got into their Den units and made their way around 6 different activities that each Den Leader was in charge of. Shaun was in charge of 'Alien Disection'. Check out the pictures below!

Activity Number 1 was 'Alien Disection'. As you can see from the pictures there was a little green alien and you had to stick your fingers in slits in his head and in his stomach and pull out his insides. It was pretty ikkkky! Shaun was the Den Leader in charge of this activity and he couldn't believe all the boys that didn't like to get their fingers dirty with a little green pudding! :)

Activity Number 2 was 'The Mummy Wrap'. The den was divided in two groups. Each group chose a boy who would be wrapped and the other two would wrap him like a mummy. Christopher volunteered to by a 'Mummy'! Activity Number 3 was 'Marshmallow Races'. You hold a spoon in your mouth with a marshmallow on it and you run from one side of the room to the next and back. Christopher kept dropping his marshmallow! It was fun to watch the kids--some were so cautious while others were fast!

Activity Number 4 was Anneli's favorite, 'Decorating & Eating Cupcakes'. YUMMM!!

Activity Number 5 was 'Pumpkin Sweep'. You use a broom and sweep your pumpkin down the driveway and back. It was harder than it looked--those pumpkins can get away!

What a super fun night for everyone! Christopher must have been whipped, because he slept in this morning! Early to bed tonight! :)
