Scout's Birthday Weekend, Part 2

Saturday started about 9:15. We had to get breakfast before 10:00 or else figure out something else. After we ate, we decided to play Wicked Monopoly. I thought it was fun, but the girls got tired of it quickly, so we put The Wizard of Oz on the TV. Some of them said they had never seen it and since it was a Wicked weekend, we just couldn't let that happen. 


We wanted to eat lunch at Angie's for old time's sake, so at about 1:30 we headed that way. We thought the lunch rush would be just ending, but we were wrong. We ended up waiting a good 20ish minutes.

The food was good, but not as good as I remember.

After we left Angie's, Princess loaded up and headed out. Her Primary Program was on Sunday and she just couldn't miss it. After she left, we did another craft. They were so cute that I have decided to use the  idea for our scout Christmas party. 

We had to add the charms to the chain and then add it to the keychain and the lip gloss. 




For dinner, we decided on Costa Vida. The food was just what you might expect in Mexican food to go, but it filled us up so we could go swimming before it was time to go home.

We had to swim! I mean, I just hang out in the hot tub and the girls do whatever they want. They accuse me of visiting with everyone and I guess I do. I'm

Scout's Birthday Weekend

So I told you yesterday that we would talk about Scout's birthday party. There were six of us, Scout, Princess, Crafty. Baby Doll, K, and me. We left for Logan right after Curly's football banquet. So we got in late; about 10:00pm. Princess and Crafty came up earlier, so they were all set up.

The girls played a game while I slept.

We got up in the morning and had hotel breakfast. The girls wanted to swim.

The girls made gift bags and bento boxes to share. The whole weekend was Wicked themed. Three of us were green and and three pink.

We ate lunch in the roon and played games and did crafts. K had prepared some really fun things for us. Scout loves books and Yahtzee, so K had us paint books that were Yahtzee cups.


These are Crafty's.

Then it was time for Swig and their special themed drinks.

Then we did dinner at Mo'bettas.

Princess did these cute hoodies and Baby Doll designed the logo.

Popcorn was glittered!

Time for the movie!!



It was SO good!! More games and sleep. So much fun and another day to go.

Curly is Amazing

We started Scout's birthday weekend  on Thursday, but not until after Curly's football banquet. He was given 3 major awards, one for being Academic All State, one for Iron Miner, and a Senior Leadership Award.


To top it all off, he received an Honorable Mention for the All Region team! So proud of this guy!


Tomorrow you will know where we ended up for Scout's first day of her birthday weekend...

Seeking Persephone

We had a real treat last night when the six of us, including Princess, our host, took us to a special preview of the new movie, Seeking Persephone. 


Princess is one of the co-producers!


The movie was SO good!!

After the show was over, two of the leading actors joined the author and they spoke to us about the journey.



They are even talking about making a sequel...
