Well Readers, I could have danced all Night... If you've been keeping up with the events here on "Mick's" You'll know that last Friday Night was our annual Spring Break Dance! If you will recall last years formal dance, we had quite a turn out and a fabulous time. This year's dance- not to be out done boasted a guest list of 51 people in attendance, with even more gowns and tux's! (Don't we all look great?!) (A "white sport coat" and my date Patricia) This year everyone dressed up in period 1950's formals the girls hunted for MONTHS to find the perfect dresses. Our "Prom Planning Committee" researched for hours trying to find perfect 1950's-esk decorations so our "Prom" would be authentic! ("If Dreams Came True"- our Prom song/Theme by Pat Boone) In no time at all the party was hopping! It took nearly 45 minuets to get everyone signed in at the Lake Diversion toll gate, but things were underway after a Blessing was given by Mr. Schaffer. It wasn't long before the records started spinning and "The Casablanca Class of 1958" was dancing up a storm! (Look at Friend Evelyn Go!) We Hokey Pokey'd and discovered that it really is what it's all about and then took the group photos- (The Ladies...) (The Gents...) The Records played on with the latest hits of the day and everyone was having a terrific time! (Friends- Chloe, Kelcie, Courtney, Felicity, and Joy!) (Savannah, Myself, Brianna, Emily & Chloe!) (Everyone chatting out on the terrace of the dance pavilion.) At long last a record finally made its way to the top of the pile we'd all been waiting for, it's the latest dance craze sensation! "The Bunny Hop!" Earlier this week on a blog called The Speedboys (blogging from Spain!) featured a whole post about the Bunny Hop and once I posted it on our Facebook event page we KNEW it would be a hit at the dance! (Friend Melissa, dressed as Marylin Monroe leads the Bunny Hop!) We Bunny Hopped, Limbo'd and Cha-Cha-Cha'ed the night away! Readers I was just tickled pink and turquoise at our turn out it was everything we'd been dreaming about for months and months! (Myself & Lisa head of Costuming at the Theatre) (Patricia and J.T.) (Amanda and Braxton are 'going steady') It was about this time in the evening we drug out the limbo stick (a Casablanca party tradition!) to see how low everyone could go! (Here I go!) (Miss Margaret!) (Make it Meg!) (Our Limbo Winners, Heather, Margaret & Meg!) With the Limbo title tucked away, and all the votes in Miss Casablanca (Kelcie- Master of Ceremonies) prepared to announce just WHO would be in 1958 Prom Queen! And our 1958 Prom King & Queen are... (Francis and Olivia!) Everyone clapped and cheered (We based the prom queen votes off of best girls costume, and the queen got to pick her king!) and then the King and Queen lead the Prom Court in a dance... "Queen of the Senior Prom - The Mills Brothers" (Aren't they sweet?) Next Dance up was "The Stroll" (Me and Patricia) (Francis, Caitlin & Kelcie) (James & Joy!) (Michael & Disa) (Patricia & Russ share a dance.) The dancing portion of our evening was finishing up in fine form, everyone picked their partners for the "school dance" "If Dreams Came True" and while dancing cheek to cheek I saw the Magic of Prom that so often one hears about. Ya know the kind you dream about only to discover its a stuffy evening in ill fitting formal wear. But this friends was the real deal, everyone looked so sharp in their suits and gowns- some sporting corsages others boutonnieres. All I can say for our 1958 dance is that dreams really did come true! * * * Immediately following the dance the guests headed up to the Casablanca for the first Drive-In picture show of the year. This years opening feature being a movie called "That's what I am."- As the credits flickered across the screen and our friends departed one by one a magnificent evening was drawing to a close. (Friends- Russ & Chloe) This picture reminds me of Norman Rockwell's "The Morning After, New Year's Eve at the Waldorf Astoria". The Spring Break Dance is always an indicator as to how the rest of the Casablanca's Social Season is going to go, and with any luck this year will be one for the record books! I'd like to give special thanks to our "Prom Committee" Patricia, Joe, Cheryl (who also costumed most of the guests), Melissa, Meg, and Terrace! As well as a special thanks to everyone who brought food for the party, (a very special thanks to Mr & Mrs Adams for making a pot roast, along with a ham and many other delights!) and last but not least a HUGE thank you to all of our friends for making the night a smashing success! Wish you were here! -Mick-

While web surfing I came upon a jumping cup project at Bloesem Kids. I thought that it would be a fun project to with Alex and adapt for Easter. So instead of a rocket and a frog, we made a bunny and a chick. I cut out the parts to the bunny and chick out of construction paper, we used some yellow feathers for the chick wings and some silly googly eyes. Alex glued them together with a little guidance. Once they were dry I taped them to the jumping cup I had prepared. To make the jumping cup you simply take a plastic cup and cut 4 slits around the rim. Take 2 rubber bands and cut them so they are no longer a circle. Tie a knot in each end of the rubber band. Then stretch the rubber bands across the rim of the cup and slide each end into one of the slits. The knots should hold the rubber band in place but I added a piece of tape on each knot for security. To make the animals jump simply put the jumping cup over another cup holding it from the bottom. Let go and watch them jump!

Earlier this year, I had seen the rhyme Five Little Cookies and I loved it! It has quite a few different versions, but I liked the simplest one the best. I knew it was something I could adapt for different themes. We are getting ready to work on subtraction this week and I needed something that would fit Easter and subtraction. I hope you like the freebie. Just click on one of the pictures below to download them. I also created an emergent reader to go with the rhyme. You can purchase it through my TpT store for $1.50. I would love to send it to the first three people who comment and include an email address. :)
