Blue and Gold

So Blue and Gold is over! Yeah! It went off really well and this year I didn't need any facial hair to attend! (last year I was the bearded lady) We did Let's Make a Deal for our theme and entertainment. The decorations were really simple. Disco Balls, paper stars, dots, and dollar signs, fake money, and a sweet banner!

For the menu we did a pasta bar that included three different kinds of noodles, marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, green salad, green beans, corn, french bread and butter. For dessert we had a brownie Sunday bar. I would so do that again. It was easy and very cost effective.

We pounded the pavement starting in September- October and asked local businesses to donate prizes and were really pleased with how generous they were! We had some fun prizes. We played lets make a deal with our own Monte Hall in his denim suite and his lovely assistant Carol Merrel!

The leaders kicked the game show off by lip-syncing to some different songs and ended up with everyone doing YMCA together. We all wore costumes just like the show. Josh came with me and helped back behind the curtain. I think they had fun don't you?




The kids had fun and it was worth all the work.

Homemaking 101

Does anyone else feel like it's time for a refresher course on homemaking 101? Maybe we should watch a few seasons of Leave it to Beave...
