FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

We had our Cub Scout caroling last night for the retirement home. What a great turn out we had. all six of my Cubs came and two from the Wolf Den. Plus we had five of the Boy Scouts show up with three of their leaders. We all walked over to the center and Had a great time. The cards were handed out and we even sang a vespers. We went back to the church and had lots of snacks and gave out awards that the boys have been working on.
Christmas is in five days! I have off on Friday, yeah! I still need to find a couple of things for the boys but I think I am pretty much set. I have a cute story about Feret...
He needed to bring in a board game for today and I thought he found one last night but when I asked him this morning he said no. I told him that I bought him a game for christmas and that he could have it early if he wanted. He asked me how many gifts I had bought him for christmas and I told him about five. Right away he tells me "No, I'll wait for christmas!" I guess he thinks that if he only gets five presents for christmas he might as well save them all! Cute huh?
Back to Cub Scouts... I had called one of the boys that hadn't been coming every meeting on the phone and talked to his mom. He is really into football and she tells me that if it's not football that he's not interested in it. So I tried to convince her that he should come. He has two older brothers that were in scouts and his dad is a police officer so she really wants him to go. Well guess who showed up last night? Yep, it was him. I asked his mom how much bribbing it took and she said that she had a long talk with him and he decided to come. I am soo happy.
I called a friend of mine last Saturday and went to see her too. I had not seen her for about three years. I was not allowed to when I was with Rick so I thought I would see if she wanted to hang out. She said come on over and I went out to her house. We had a nice visit. She offered for us (the boys and I) to come over again so I guess she's not that mad at me for letting him control my life. Either that or she was just being nice. Either way I think I will have to take her up on that. Ta Ta for now...
