Haka








The Cub Scouts had a Luau theme for their Blue and Gold Banquet. After dinner we were entertained with a Polynesian Haka.......for those of you unfamiliar with this dance....it is so cool.

The haka is an action chant, often described as a "war dance", but more a chant with hand gestures and foot stamping, originally performed by warriors
before a battle, proclaiming their strength and prowess and generally verbally abusing the opposition.
Some schools have used this before a football game but due to some opponents not taking it very well, they are not allowed to do it anymore! Shay said he felt intimidated!

Shay and Dirk thought they would put a new twist on the ever asked question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a .......(you know the rest)? At one point Dirk licked Shay's tongue. Gross. It took five licks before the dog decided to bite it.....Now the world knows.

GrubWorm Lollipop.......Gross......





You can see the absolute brilliance of my two sons......Alex (hmmm.....I wonder if I can talk Andrew into eating this grubworm lollipop..oh evil plan) and Andrew (yes the same one who picks up dog crap with his hands to impress the girl next door) actually eats the worm! Gross. He did a lot of spitting afterwards....

What's wrong with this picture?????

We bought Dirk a new bed.........as you can see he's in mine and Abby loves his!
