Earth, Wind, and Fire theme- Shining Star
Check out my menu for music in the park, with Earth, Wind and Fire. I used several short legged tables. Covered them with various cloths typical for the names: Earth, Wind, Fire.The tables had sides on them and then each guest received a boxed dinner that contained a beef tenderloin sandwich, cointreau marinated fruits and a delicious brownie with Four different flavored icing dots.

working! And I LOVE SATURDAYS!
Working everyday, leaves me brain dead to blog about anything! It also makes the day fly by so when I get home, it's time for dinner- from ichicks ~
so many do this routine day in and day out. It's been a long time since I've had to do it. It's been kinda fun each day- a different school, different classrooms, different attitudes- except among those who are suppose to be my peers. I'm treated as a pariah- they stay away from me. And you'd think, after being in one school, for more than 3 days in a row they'd at least be able to mutter: hello....They have a difficult time acknowledging I'm present. It helps if you know someone else on staff- it's like a connection. Being the Mother to 5 sons, it's funny how I usually gravitate to the little boys- but I just love finding moments throughout the day to be in the company of the little girls. So while can complain about being with my peers, it's not for long periods of time.
And while the remaining classroom days are now, really numbered I can look forward to doing what I love: party planning! I've got several events on my plate in the next coming weeks! A graduation party,a cocktail party, a dessert party and a picnic! And of course, Memorial Day activities. So today I'm enjoying playing around with menus, creating table settings and as soon as I have them ready to go, I'll post the images.
A few days ago, I did take a day off from work. One of my friends hosted a birthday outing for herself and 18 friends. It was a tour based on the book the Devil in the White City. It was a 2+ mile walking tour through Jackson Park which is on Chicago's near Southside. I haven't walked through there, ever but it was really beautiful
Hopefully in the next few days, I'll be back blogging my menus.
