Cooking!!!

The boys all agreed that this was the BEST den meeting yet!!! I asked Matthew, "You liked cooking MORE than being in jail?!" And he asked, "Can we make S'mores in jail?" Rest assured mothers...we told ALL of the boys that they would NOT be getting S'mores if they were in jail:) So hopefully we've deterred them from that idea:) Here are some of the pics of the night!!!

First we made oatmeal cookies (from a recipe in their Bear books):



Then we made S'more while Sis. Park talked to the boys about the dangers of junk food:


(not sure why my son looks soo angry:)


It was a successful night. No one got burned from the fire and everyone left all sugared up:) Hope they went right to bed when they got home:)

Games! Games! Games!!!

Well, the title sums it up...the boys had a BLAST tonight playing new games that they had never played before. We actually accomplished quite a bit tonight as we had 1) a "Thank You" card to sign for our WONDERFUL police station tour the previous week, 2) All the boys had to be fingerprinted:) and 3) They had 3 new games to learn. The boys were awesome and soo cooperative that we made it through everything with time to spare even:)

The new games they learned were:
Flip a Deck
Pony Express
Thiefs

Make sure to ask them how to play them. They were simple, fun games (that involved NO tackling or any other contact that would cause anyone harm:) Here are some pics of them:





**Sis. Meeker had a CRAZY night with no hubby or oldest daughter home so yes...those are the 2 youngest Meekers and the boy scouts were SUPER sweet and kind and let them join in the fun:)
