Mother's Day Tea

This year I wanted to do something special for the Mom's of my Girl Scout Girls. So I decided what better way to do that then to host a Mother's Day Tea. I took the opportunity that the kids were in Maine to get the backyard all ready for the event. Cleaned up the trees, planted some pretty flowers, got the waterfall in working order. However, my plans were foiled by good old Mother Nature and we had to move our event inside.

My house is pretty small to hold 34 people. So I got creative. We moved all the non-essential furniture upstairs to the kids room. Dining room chairs, extra materials from the computer desk, etc. Then we moved the big furniture (my couch and loveseat) to our neighbor's carport across the street. I am sure our neighbors were wondering what we were doing at 6:30am. We put our dining room table in our kitchen and used that as our serving table. It wasn't ideal, but it worked out perfectly. Everyone looked so beautiful!! Thanks everyone who could make it. And those who weren't able too because of illness. We were thinking of you for sure. Here are some great photos of our day!

My living room. Two tables fit perfectly!

 

My dining room. Yup, fit two tables in this room too!

 

The girls did a fantastic job making there mom's these beautiful tea cups. These were our table decorations

Girl Scout Father's Night

Every year I hold a "LADIES CHOICE NIGHT" for the Girl Scouts. I plan it around a "SCIENCE THEME" and the girls always seem to have a fun evening just them and their dad/uncle/grandpa/etc. Last year the big hit was the volcano, this year we went even bigger and got a rocket to launch. The girls went WILD over it. I think even the dad's had a good time as well. I have to say, this year was a success and everyone had a good time. Here are a few pictures of fun evening.

A Proud Leader

I am so proud. All of my girl scout girls were able to make the Valentine's Party on Tuesday which meant that Miss. Kiley *FINALLY* got a picture of both troops together. I am so proud of these girls. They are terrific, and with wonderful parents, I couldn't ask for more.
