Valentine Girl Scout Party and Mother-Daughter Bunco Night!

This past week much fun was had at a Girl Scout Valentine's Day party and also hosting the first Mother-Daughter Bunco night for our homeschool group. The girl's were such a big help in getting everything set up and the food and snacks ready. K-Doodle was so excited about the evening that she asked to wait by the front door for the guest two hours before they were to arrive. A good time was had by all.

C-Sunshine and K-Doodle help set up the "Head Table" for Bunco night!
Mother-Daughter Bunco night was success and will continue on next month. Thanks to everyone who came over to have some fun.

Happy Spring!

You Are Kids Playing

You are a free spirited soul. More than anything else, you are often just happy to be alive. You are always laid back and cheerful. You enjoy whatever happens to come your way. You are spontaneous and zany. You're the kind of adult who still runs through the sprinklers. You don't take life too seriously. You try to have fun at all times, even when you're working.

What Part of Spring Are You?
