Spaghetti Dinner

After leaving Melissa for Girl's treat I went home and got Scott and we went over to the clubhouse for our Spaghetti Dinner. 

This dinner was put on by the Campground Committee that I'm NOT on so I didn't have to help this time. Although, I still ended up helping to serve and clean up. Funny how that works ;)

A lot of work goes into making these dinners.

This is Sheryl making the fried ravioli appetizers

This is what happens when no one at our table wins the raffles haha

It's ok if we make a mess since we are the ones that clean it up ;)

There was a lot of joking going on afterwards about this plant. I think it ended up being called a "flecker plant"

Girl's Treat

Melissa went to Girl's Treat (formal dance) with her friends. Her date was her friend's boyfriend's friend. Her friend is like the organizer girl and made them appointments to get their nails done, and hair and make up done too. I'm like I like this girl! Take charge haha. Melissa, being the middle child is the go with the flow girl so it's good for her to have someone like that to depend on ;)

They started off by getting their nails done the night before the dance. I was going to just drop her off (some day she'll have a license..) but got sucked into hanging out with the other girls mom. We got a Starbucks and hung out on a bench outside the nail salon. She was talking politics and about how she voted for Trump. Ahhh I did a lot of silent nodding trying to be nice but eventually was like yeah so I'm not a republican and did not vote for him..

Her nails turned out really nice

The next day she met up with her friends at Ulta to get her hair and make up done. Again I was just going to drop her off. It's in the same shopping center as JoAnn's so I went and got a few things and then came back. It was kind of fun to watch them do her hair and make up so I hung out until she was finished.

One of the other mom's showed up and actually made them take off her daughter's lipstick and have them redo it because she looked "like a vampire". Pretty sure the girl was mortified. I was like geeze these girls are pretty much grown up and all going to be 18 soon. Helicopter much?

All done!

After they were done they left to get ready at her friends house and then I met up with them later at the park for pictures.

They decided to go to "city hall" to take pictures by the fountain. There was a few other people with the same idea.

I may have started crying after this picture. Oh Mom!

She looks like a giant next to me lol. She's 5'9" tall and then had those heels on.

Afterward they all squished into TrumpMom's little car. They went to dinner at a pizza place. They went to the dance and then went to In & Out afterwards. Fun time :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm making an extra turkey to take to my brother's house this afternoon (dinner is at 4), cauliflower and a peanut butter pie. Easy easy!

One of my friends said she doesn't cook meat with bones. I was like what? lol. That is the strangest thing I've ever heard.  People have such weird food issues. I'm amazed at how many people think that cooking a turkey is difficult. Or just cooking in general I guess!

Are you going black Friday shopping? With all this online shopping these days it amazes me that people still go out and do that. I will be at work. I'm sure it will be crickets there since most people will be off that day so they assume everyone else is.  I actually have a bit of work to do so I will enjoy the quiet lol. Maybe I'll listen to some Christmas music since most people in the office took the day off too haha.

I have a bunch of posting to catch up on again! Seems to work well for me to just do a bunch of catch up and scheduled posts when I have the time and want to blog :)  I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving with no annoying relatives ;)Pin It

Ava's Birthday

For my niece Ava's 5th birthday party we went to the WOW Museum in Lodi. She went all shy girl when the party started but she warmed up after a bit. They did a science experiment which the kids thought was great.

And her mom sent me this picture later of her wearing the outfit I made and gave her. We also got her that Pony for her present :)
