Surprise

The twins are working on a "surprise" for George Michael.

In a moment of my infinite crackheadedness, I realized I used the wrong last name for the blog. I'll need to fix that.

Menu Part 3

The cake is ordered!!! I got the scored cake that usually has rosebuds all over - but insteag will have a brown or orange G in each square :O!!!!!!

GIFT PART 3

Emily is so excited - we ordered her dresser/changing table today! THANKS YOU GUYS!!!!!! It was $399 - Joey insisted on finishing the cost and I didn't turn her down. Gramma is good. So, hopefully, the dresser will arrive before the shower. If not, I will print a picture for anyone who wants to see it.

With that, please be sure to bring your promised contribution to the shower.

Thank you!!!! We are getting close. I plan to do my sweing and painting projects this week.

I can't wait to hang out and party with all of you!!!

GIFT PART 2

We raised $360 for Emily's gift!!! Yeah!!! Please be sure to bring your promised contributions to the shower. A million thanks to you guys!!!!

Emily's dresser is $400....but is not instock. She is looking for one elsewhere. If she finds it, I will just get her a gift card to the appropriate store and she will make up any cost difference. If she cannot find the right dresser....she wants her bedding and mattress. She is currently deciding and I will let you know when she lets me know. If we do the latter, and there is any change, we will spend the $$ on other things off her registry.

Thank you again!!!!!!!

GIFT

So far, we have raised $220 towards a gift. I still need emails from 4 of you on what you want to do. If we raise enough, we may be able to do Emily's hutch/dresser. You have been EXTREMELY generous and I thank you so much. When I know the grand tally of what we can spend, I will post it along with her registery options that we may be able to get. YEAH!!!!!

MENU PART 2

Francie Sausage Balls 1 gallon of lemonade
Susie Deviled Eggs 1 gallon of lemonade
Lori _____________ 1 gallon decaffeinated sweet tea
Shelley _____________ 1 gallon decaffeinated sweet tea
Gayle hull peas mexican cornbread
Mary macaroni and cheese
Rebecca ham no bake choclate cookies
Christa squash casserole milk and chocolate for milkshakes (shhhhh! Surprise!)
Michelle 2 tomato pies
d'Gail cheese ball vanilla ice cream for milkshakes

I will be getting the cake as well.

Suggestions for food are okra, hashbrown casserole, cheese grits, biscuits, etc.

I have decided - per my mom's help - to skip punch altogether. Sweet tea, lemonade, milkshakes, and water should be sufficient.

Please let me know if there are any revisions to this. Shelly and Lori - if no one else claims it, would you guys care to bring a hashbrown casserole? Mom, if you still want another dish okra or something else would be good - or you all can swap.

Anything missing?


SERVING DISHES: Please use glass - clear, brown, green, orange, or blue glass. If you don't have this, please let me know and I will get you something. Mary and Rebecca, please make sure Gayle is apprised.

DECOR

Found these super cheap...for guests to "color"



for the GEORGE banner




food markers....still need to be painted and fixed



because we'll need baskets for something




perfect cups for sweet tea, lemonade, and milkshakes!



FOOD plates and napkins



dessert plates and napkins




Here are some pics of what I have for decor. I also have the canvas....

I am accepting vetoes and suggestions. Y'all tell me if you don't like something or what something else.

The glass is for candles and flowers......I also found these awesome dinosaur pogo sticks at the dollar store and got 3 to put at the end of the driveway for balloons. I plan to do all white candles and flowers....maybe chrysanthemums....

That should be all we will need. I have tablecloths and lots of other what nots that will come into play........

MENU

Watch for Menu Part 2, Menu Part 3 for updates and the latest info. I will also do updates under separate appropriate headers as needed.

If your name is BLANK, that means you have emailed me and said you will cook anything we need. I appreciate that. Trust me, NO ONE HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE OR UNWILLING TO HELP! I love you guys so much for that!!!!!!!! So, if you don't have an "item" yet, I'll have some suggestions down at the bottom or you can come up with what you wish. I am just grateful for the help.

Dinosaurs

"Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles. They were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for over 160 million years, from the late Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous period (about 65 million years ago), when the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event caused the extinction of most dinosaur species, except for some birds. The fossil record indicates that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, and most paleontologists regard them as the only group of dinosaurs to have survived until the present day.[1]"
