Cupcake Class...!

I think our Cupcake Class was a blast...! But it could be just me?!
The girls paid the majority of their Wilton Cupcake Kits and the Troop Fund paid the rest.
I baked and donated the cupcakes and frosting.
 My girls loved it...decorating cupcakes with their girlfriends.
The weird thing was, they watch me decorate cakes all the time and they even help me...but I guess I never taught them the correct terminology and ways to hold it, etc. So, they loved how they learned what to do. Just realized that when we got home. They cleaned their piping bags and tips and were excited to use them again!
 They learned everything from beginning to end....!
How to cut a piping bag, they learned how to use three different tips, and got to decorate their own cupcakes afterwards.
 Thank you Jesus for Leaders that help with all the girls...!
 The girls did really good. Some of them, had it down packed.
They were all ages, so it was neat to see how they all learned.
 
 Kaitlyn actually asked me to take a picture of her and her cupcake...!
Lilian looking gorgeous....!
Veronica brought pizza, soda and goody bags for the girls for Alexis' birthday.... a little party for her.
It was a really fun night.
 Plus, these Wilton Girl Scout Kits came with a Patch. 
P.S. to save these pictures of your girls and Troop, right click and press save.

Pajama Party.

The Pajama Party this weekend was really fun.
The theme was "Games."
There were certain things they had to do for their Missions at the party in order to get their Badges.
*All of our activities are geared towards earning a certain Badge...that is why they have things they need to do or bring for the Pajama Party.
When we arrived at Bonnie's house, the girls got busy right away playing Games.
 
 
 They are so hilarious with this game. Girls can get down dancing...!
 The neighbors friendly cat wanted to do Sidewalk Chalk with them...!
 
 
 In the evening, they had a Scavenger Hunt around the neighborhood asking the neighbors for certain things. One neighbor gave a team some nice DC Shoes. Yes, gave....!
 The Winning Scavenger Hunt Team...!
 Kaitlyn tells me I take too many pictures. So, I hid behind a pole and called her over....to flash her with the camera....! Lub you Kaitlyn!
 One of their Missions was to bring a Sundae Topping.
Yumm...!
 
 Taking a Sugar Break....!
 Michaela with Ice Cream all over her face...!
 Toliet Papering the neighbors house...!
The girls had a BLAST because it's Toliet Papering first of all....and it was a teacher couple that lived there.
*Don't worry, I talked with them before hand. The husband even suggested "forking" the lawn!
Great sports...!
 
 
 This neighborhood were all good sports about us making noise and a mess....!
 What...you've never played Red Light, Green Light in the middle of the night in the street? {LOL}
For their Badges, the Cadettes and Juniors had to bring an Ice Breaker, Magic Trick or Card Trick.
Our 1st Pajama Party was a success....!
Thank you to all the girls and parents that came.
Thank you to Bonnie's family for putting up with us, helping, putting this together, and making it memorable.
Thank you to the leaders that helped.
Thank you to Amanda and Bonnie who stayed the night and took care of the girls. There are only a very few people that I trust with my kids and I'm so glad they are part of our lives...!

Cupcake Class

Cupcake Class is scheduled for next Thursday, July 21st.
It will be held at The Youth Center at 6:30 pm.
Learn techniques, terminology, frosting recipes and more.

The kits need to be ordered by this Saturday at Noontime.
I need to have the money for each kit in advance. It's $5 per kit.
You may drop it off at my house, mail it or bring it to the pajama party tomorrow.
FYI...I know we're really lenient sometimes, but I just can't order extra kits. So, if I don't receive the money, your daughter will not have a kit. I'm sorry but it's a waste of money when they don't show up and we have bought everything for them. It just hurts the troop in the end.
Any questions or concerns, please get ahold of me because I want them to come. ~Bobbi
