Hallowed Eve eve

We had snow flurries yesterday, and it is cold this morning. It may hit 40 by afternoon, but it is sure to be sunny. The Sandias are dusted with snow. Flowers wilted from the cold, and leaves are gathering in piles, swept by the winds we had before the the cold and snow came through.

Jackson got a cast on Wednesday. It is bright orange. He carries a permanent marker in his pocket so his cousins, classmates and friends can sign his cast. On Wednesday evening, Jack got his bobcat badge at the pack meeting. It's the initiation achievement. He was very excited and happy about it. We had the complete uniform for the meeting, all the badges and patches on. Last night he studied the wolf handbook and made a list of all the "belt loops" he can achieve.

Rylee is very excited about Halloween. He is already talking about next year. He has a costume parade at school today, and a couple of his buddies at school have birthday party plans. He is making skeleton hands out of paper and glue. Cyndi made candy corn and popcorn hands, with plastic spider rings, using latex surgical gloves, for both Ry's and Jack's classes. They will have a busy day.
