Saturday turned out to be a wonderful morning for a breakfast on the patio with the girls who volunteered to be on my decorating committee for After Prom. We’ve been working hard to come up with all the decorations for this school function happening next weekend! The After Prom Party has been a tradition at our school for years and a wonderful way to keep our kids safe and entertained for the late-night hours following the Prom! It has actually become quite an event which requires loads of work from all the committee members to create a memorable evening. And like most school events, it also requires sticking within a budget. This means lots of pounding the pavement for donations and in the case of our committee, also a TON of hands-on crafting and finagling of props to create the biggest bang for our buck! We started brain-storming last fall and have been working toward this event ever since! My committee has put in plenty of personal time…and we also have the biggest, single chunk of time approaching when we begin the process of setting up on Friday! So to show my appreciation for all the assistance from my friends, I decided that a “thank you” breakfast might be a nice idea! So Saturday it was, a morning of thankful fun! The early hours of the day did require a sweater, but it turned to be a fabulous way to begin the weekend…sipping warm coffee, munching on breakfast goodies, and spending time catching up on things other than After Prom! I’m so grateful for all their help…it really has been a collaboration!
