Tip Off Tournament

This past weekend our school kicked off it's basketball season with our annual Tip Off Tournament.

A while back Joanna mentioned how she thought it would be so much FUN to be in charge of the concession stand. Although she had no clue what she was getting into with a 3 day tournament, I think she had me in mind, cuz she know's how much I hate other people in my kitchen messing it up. :)

I told her that I would do it if my dear Friend Reitha would help us. Reitha has much experience in planning this concession and I knew she was the woman to turn to.

Rietha and I had a lunch meeting to "go over the menu"......really I think we just caught up on our lives. ;) And then we spent an afternoon shopping. And shopping we did. We took my truck and I don't think that we could fit ANYTHING else in that truck. It was JAM PACKED!!
But we had fun doing it!!



We were so glad to have Ethan and Elisa there Thursday night. They were a huge help!



Guess who showed up on Friday??

MY MOM!! I turned around and screamed!! She just thought we might need some help and decided to come over. What a help she was!!

For some reason, none of the parents with children in basketball signed up to work in the concessions, so it was really nice my mom came to help us.



(I just have to add that there is nothing better then fresh popped popcorn!!)



Even Hunny showed up for a little while.



Joy also came over after she got off work to help.

I think that by her being there, she brought it a lot of business from the high school boys. They all wanted to check out the "hot girl" in the kitchen. :)



Joy and Joanna taking a break in 1 of the quiet times in the kitchen. I wonder if Joanna's feet still hurt? I know I could barely stand on mine by Friday night.



To the dismay of the high school boy's, Joy's boyfriend came and helped out also. I for 1 was glad he was there.





While I am glad the tournament is over, I did have fun with Reitha and my family.

I also wanted to thank my inlaws for watching my kids Thursday night. I knew that it would be a late night and Gail and DeWayne were more then willing to keep the kids overnight. They took huge load off my back just by doing that.
