Dallin's Arrow of Light
Dallin worked hard to earn his Arrow of Light award before he turned 11. Sister Opps is such a fun Cubmaster. She had a fun activity where the boys who earned their Arrow of Light ended up with balloon hats. I wasn't very good at making the balloon hat so I had to tag team with Neil for help. Here are the pictures of the Balloon hat. Aaron loved Dallin's balloon hat. It was fun to watch Dallin walk across the bridge into Scouting. We are so proud of Dallin for taking his cubscouting serious and working to earn his Arrow of Light.

Halloween 2017
Halloween isn't my favorite holiday. This year I did enjoy helping Dallin figure out a pretty cool costume. We watched a video on how to be a headless man carrying your head in a jar. We might not have been able to get it to work without Neil and David's help. They helped us figure out which backpack to use to get the coat up high enough without just being bulky behind Dallin. Neil was also willing to go back into Costco on a Saturday morning to buy animal crackers in a big jar so Dallin had a jar to use for his costume. We heard lots of comments about how cool Dallin's costume was. He even made the front page of the Powell Tribune. It was a big, color front page picture. Dallin wasn't so sure that he liked having that big of a picture.
Everyone else enjoyed dressing up. Bethany went out to the farmer's field behind our house and gathered some straw to become a scarecrow. MaryAnne was Ella Enchanted. Joshua was Chewbaca. I found his costume at Walmart and they are also pajamas so that was great. Lydia was a fairy. Aaron loved being a lion. It was really cute when someone would give him candy he would take it out of his bucket and just hold on to it. I think he thought we might take it away from him. He wanted to wear his lion costume again the next day. He probably thought he would get candy again.
We carved pumpkins the day before Halloween for a Family home Evening activity. We all had fun and I think they turned out pretty great.
Here are the pictures:
