Keas - Ugly Man

Tonight was the annual Kea Campfire Sing Along 
Everyone had fun 
Each group had to do a skit or song
we did "The Ugly Man"
this is where each kea or cub go and look under the blanket at the young man. Its like at a fairground event. I think the cub leader had as much fun announcing the attraction and taking the "pretend money" as the cubs and keas did. The ugly man is so ugly they all faint as they view him. Until the last person, who it turns out must be uglier than the ugly man himself as the ugly man ends up fainting. 




My scout taking his turn

I have to say although it was a fun night just personally I was challenged before I even got there. Tonight was very rainy.  I dont like to drive in the rain and dark.  I got lost getting there.  Each year it is held at the groups hall whom won a shield the year before.  I had to go to the next city (about 20 mins in good conditions).  I was very glad I had my cellphone and was able to ring and text a friend and she gave me directions when I got lost.  So not only was it dark and rainy but also because I dont have my gps anymore I got lost.  About 10 minutes after I got there my friend also made sure Id arrived :)  bless her :)       

Lastly I have to say I handled this really well I feel.  There would have been a time when I would have gone to pieces because of this challenge :)

Just Scraping In

Today has been BUSY but good.  I like being busy.  So with just 8 minutes to midnight here goes LOL





This morning Daniel and I went grocery shopping after we had raided the Kea Scout cupboard for supplies for an art activity we are going to be doing next week.  I wanted to see what there was before I went and spent $$.

After grocery shopping where Daniel insists he has to sit in the trolley.  In the large basket where normally puts the food LOL.  We grabbed some lunch to take with us and went out to pick up my catalogues.  We had our lunch in the car as it was SO windy.  Then Daniel had a play on the beach.  The place where I was picking up my catalogues runs alongside the beach.  Then we walked the long road with his helping me :)

When we got to the end of the road he had another play 1/2 hour play on the beach.  I walked on the road keeping an eye on him and we ran most of the way at the edge of the sea.

Tonight I have been researching games mostly for the Kea term planning :)

Fixing my Old Mother Hubbard Day

Old Mother Hubbard
went to the cupboard . . .
and when she got there
the cupboard was bare!!

I knew this was going to happen to me yesterday
and while the cupboard wasnt exactly bear there wasnt much in there and certainly not a sweet or savoury thing to go in the middle of sandwiches and fruit for lunch

so . . .
I found this recipe online
