The boys got to go to 'Camo Camp' all day yesterday, and it was a HIT. Despite the cold, rainy weather, they 'soldiered up' and learned to build a shelter, scout for the enemy (Alex stepped on a nail while climbing a telephone pole in order to spot the enemy forces), got full camo face paint, learned to salute, made 'suicide stew', shot potato cannons and paint balls, and did lots of other army stuff. Liam is showing off the bars he earned and the proper form for saluting your superior officer. They are eagerly awaiting the spring session so they can track and shoot (! hope not) animals.
Such a boy activity. They said there was one girl there, but she was 'annoying'. Girl cooties live.

You have no idea how hilarious I find it that they thought the one loner girl was annoying...I'm sure she was. Cooties definitely live. Hads was playing at the Tot Spot Cafe the other day (and no Sue, it's not chinese) and these two little boys were playing with monsters...Hadley tried to get in on the fun and was told loudly at about 1/2 inch from her face "NO GIRLS!". And she promptly bopped him no the head and walked away.
the best defense is a good offense, Hads. And I got an entire detailed explanation from Al on exactly how cooties are passed during 'chase' on the playground. He wanted nothing to do with it, he says ;-) And I love that Susna thought "Tot Spot" was Chinese.
