We had our last Girl Scout meeting of the school year today. The girls put together a dinner of lasagna and salad to take to Colette's Home, a women's and children's shelter. They also made a fun wooden daisy shaped jewelry box with their initials on top. The girls can't wait to officially kick off their Brownie troop next school year.

We headed to California Adventure and Disneyland after school with our friends Olivia, Nicolette, and Bridgette.

Our day actually started off with Teacher Appreciation Day at school. We created a poster to hang outside Cecily's teacher's door. Each kid filled out a cut-out dog as to why Mrs. Ashley is so dog-gone-good.
After school, our Daisy Troop headed to the Fairy Tea Cottage for a Tea Party in celebration of our great job at cookie sales. The owner/waitress was very rude to the girls and parents, but luckily the girls did not notice. After our tea, we headed across the street to the park to hand out the cookie selling prizes.

Alexsia's Birthday Party 05-01-11

We celebrated Alexsia's 7th birthday at her Alice in Wonderland theme party at Pretend City. They had an amazing balloon artist that made Alice, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts out of balloons! Cecily got a balloon tree with a monkey. After having tea sandwiches and cake, we headed into the museum. Cecily loved going around to the different buildings, working, and collecting stamps. The best part was using her time card to get pretend money from the ATM.
