Today we celebrated the completion of the playground!
The whole parish and a few extra friends enjoyed the Grand Opening/Fundraising Breakfast for the Eagle Scouts this morning.
Earlier, the boys and Captain mixed up 20 packets of gravy and stirred in the pre-cooked sausage we had brought from home. Using two giant Crock-pots, it stayed warm until after mass! Mary brought plenty of biscuits from Sam's Club, and other ladies in the parish brought casseroles, cinnamon rolls, and coffee cakes. I added a giant fruit plate to the buffet. So delicious!
Yesterday, Charlotte and Ashton helped me set up 95 places and decorate each table. We used 30 pumpkins and gourds on the front steps and window ledges, and then offered to give them away to anyone who made a donation to the Eagle Scout projects. (festive!) Charlotte also made autumn centerpieces from bittersweet, oak leaves, mums and apples. It was a lovely room! And it was a successful fundraiser, too! Cash donations of nearly $400 were in the basket.
All the adults talked while all of the kids played outside (of course).
