We like to play jail at our house and we happen to have a great set of (80's style) stairs to play this in. I usually pay the bail being asked to get them out.

A Birthday Tea Fit For a Princess
Margaret Anne turned 5 in September and asked to have a Princess Tea Party. She was allowed to invite 5 friends and that was hard we had a lot of friends we wanted to invite but in the end the small party was JUST RIGHT. The girls all came dressed as their favorite princesses and as a bonus they came with their princess manners! We had tea sandwhiches, chocolate dipped pretzels, fruit salad and of course Princess Cake.
What would a party be without music and dancing...those princesses really know how to cut a rug! That was not the only rug they cut, their was a princess fashion show with the one and only M.C. AUNT MARY ALICE!

Thank you family and friends for making a 5 years old party all she could have dreamed of!

Discus amongst yourselves...
Blue Lake is neither Blue nor a Lake...
It's actually a Green Pond, but that does not sound near as good!
Does anyone remember that SNL skit? The 2 ladies would get Vaklempt and then give you a topic to discus amongst yourselves. Back in the day when I was a Blue Lake counselor for the summer we would tell the middle schoolers this little line and they would look at us like we had lost our minds. We probably had but by that point in the summer we thought it was hysterical!
Now fast forward 12+ years and I am taking my girls to Blue Lake for the first time. If you have known me for very long you will know that I have love for Blue Lake that runs deep and I want my girls to have the same love. So far so good. We headed up for Pensacola FUMC's family retreat for the weekend, I have been attending this October ritual since I was a little girl. The girls loved seeing the lake, the cross's lit up on the lake at night, carving pumpkins, running up and down the halls, pajama parade, bonfires, singing songs in the chapel and having communion by the lake Sunday morning. Margaret Anne was sad on Sunday when she relized this was "our go home day". Needless to say they are ready to go back.
Yeah for passing on memories and making our own as a family!
This picture just makes me laugh. We had the timer on and it started taking multiple pictures, the rest of the pictures are of us laughing at Patrick trying to make it stop taking pictures. (we are missing several of the families we hang out with in this picture but we will get a full group shot next time)
