Troop pictures

Troop 925 has decided it's time to make a yearbook, so we're looking to contact a printer and get pictures and info and everything all in time for June...We can do this!

Picture preparation has already started. All of the girls are determined to have the best group shot, which leads to multiple picture taking days:

Etiquette Party design

Well, it all started with a picture I found in the Mother's day issue of a magazine in the waiting room....


and suddenly, I needed it! I needed the vase, the plates, the rock candy! All of it!


I got none of it.

But isn't it pretty?


 This is THE BACKSIDE of mine ( my child-photographer makes me a little sad sometimes because she didn't get the pretty front display of the table......) but , points for intent regardless....


I spent the day making little booklets on Etiquette for the party, only to realize (gasp) that it's no longer 2010! (Did this party happen a year ago?) But the books were cute, the girls loved them, it kept them separate! haha






The girls made notecards to send out Thank-You's to someone special....a very important Etiquette Rule










And learned how to properly set a table and the rules for eating at a table (including cellphone usage!)


Look at that posture!









 We had one gentleman, perfectly outfitted for the evening!







And Imara won a prize for having the most stickers for the evening.
