50's Day at Trinity!

The kids celebrated their 50th day of school by going all 50's at Trinity! They had a sock hop, ice cream floats and pizza in the "diner" a dance off, and of course, wore their best 50's outfits! They even had a costume contest with trophies for the winners ;) When I went to the gym for the pep rally it looked like a scene from Happy Days, so cute! The teachers and principal even participated ;) I was teaching that day, but was able to sneak away from my classroom and steal some pics of Lex and Noah enjoying their day, thanks to my wonderful co-workers who watched my class for me!

My mother made Lexi's skirt, I helped by ironing on the poodle and her leash...obviously I don't sew, sorry Mom! She did a great job, I think Alexis looked beautiful! Noah, my sweet little Noah ;) well, he made such an adorable greaser! The school really put a lot of work into 50's day, the kids loved it! Noah said it was the best day ever! Now I just wonder what they are going to do for the 100th day of school!!

Brownie Girl Scouts!

This first pic is Lex after we got home showing off her decked out Brownie vest ;)

The food! Always my favorite part ;)

Yesterday afternoon was Lexi's last meeting of Girl Scouts for the school year *sigh*. We had an end of the year event where all of the parents were invited. The leaders, who are Jackie, Susan and myself, put together a skit for the parents (performed by the girls), an awesome slide show and also an awards ceremony. The girls earned the remainder of their try-it patches, awards for cookie sales and Brownie bucks! The Brownie bucks were SO cute, they earned these throughout the year with good behavior, and they were allowed to 'shop' with their bucks. I love being able to help lead this troop, they are truly an amazing bunch of girls! My fellow leaders are just awesome to work with and Brownies has to be my favorite activity Lexi is involved in. I am so excited to help lead this troop again next year! Thanks for a great year girls!!

P.S. we are supposed to take the girls on their second camping trip this summer, if only I can get a certain someone on board...hint, hint, no pressure ;)
