Cub scout Blue and Gold


The cub scouts have a Blue & Gold banquet every year. There is a "dad and lad" cake bake and they auction off the cakes to raise money for the pack. Translation: you spend an entire day working on the cake to buy it back for $50 while dad and lad are nowhere to be found. Ok, they helped a little and we did take a few pictures to capture the moment but they're in another file somewhere, right now, along with the awards pictures from the banquet. Overall I had a great time and Aaron had fun while Dave and Julia were mostly miserable and would rather have been at home. Alex.....luckily the tentacles stayed concealed and he had fun running around and "guarding" our cake for the silent auction. He stood behind it and refused to let anyone else bid on it.
It was a lovely cake!

Tentacles

Alex forgot the word for the boy parts.....you know the ones.....testicles. He calls them tentacles. Needless to say, we've run with this.
For example, "No, you can't get on my shoulders. I don't want tentacles on my neck (see the post about Alex never wearing pants)"
"Tentacle alert" - when the pants depart and he goes streaking through the house.
There are just so many possibilities with this one.
