BACK TO SCHOOL DINNER & MOTTO

This year we adopted our Back to School motto

from the Cub Scouts..........

DO YOUR BEST

(nothing less)

Let the Festivities Begin

I had a little helper this year....

Finn was in charge of seating arrangements.

You may have noticed the table is set for six, this year we had a new addition to our Back to School dinner, Tiago is starting school in Oceanside.  We included him in this years celebrations!

While I was putting the final touches on the food inside, Todd kept the back to school crowd busy in the pool.  The weather on Sunday was ideal for outside dining.

On The Menu:

Cheddar Chicken (requested)

Mashed Potato's & Gravy

Paula Dean Corn Casserole

Broccoli & Cauliflower Garlic Medley

Potato Rolls

Italian Lemonade

We chose this years motto based on the level of understanding for Finn & Tiago's age level, but at the same time the rest of us can embrace it fully......be it at school, at work, or for home...."Do Your Best"...."Nothing Less"

Time to Party

Savor Food

Drink & Be Merry

Educational Discussion 

Another reason to have a sit down Back to School dinner?

Practice Table Manners

I look forward to this dinner every year, it is so important to take the time and really listen and ask questions with the students in your family. Kirra & Kayla spoke of their classes, their goals for the year, likes and dislikes....I absorb it all and am excited for them and what they will learn this 2011-2012 school year.
