Connor's elementary school hosts a spring carnival each year as a big fundraiser for the PTO. This was our first year to attend so we weren't sure what to expect. Well, let me say, the kids had a BLAST! We arrived early and were some of the last to leave. They had dozens of booths for games, activities, bounce houses, prizes, snacks, and more. Kaitlynn's favorite activity was the cake walk -- she won 3 times!! It was the cutest thing, everyone there wanted her to win because she was just so funny walking around the cake walk like she owned it! Connor's favorite booth was "dunk the teacher", and he managed to dunk her multiple times! There was also a silent auction and Connor won 2 items. The first is a certificate for 30 minutes of Wii playtime with his Recess teacher before school. How fun! The second is a certficate for his own teacher, Mrs. Hunter, to come to our house, read him a bedtime story, and tuck him in for bed. Now THAT is an awesome memory for him! And the best part of the carnival is that it was a highly successful event that raised more money than expected for the school. Enjoy these pictures of our fun night at the spring carnival.

Awesome! Now that sounds like a great carnival - especially with all of the loot you guys scored! Lofthouse Cookies - you can't go wrong with those. They're some of my favorites. I LOVE the silent auction prizes. Wii time? A bedtime story from your teacher? So creative and stuff that kids would go nuts for. It's no wonder the school made more money than they had expected. And I have to say that for someone who claims not to like messes, I am shocked that you let Connor get the red spider in his hair. LOL! Kaitlynn's outfit is precious. Sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteDitto all that Amanda said... and happy belated birthday to Jeff and I'm soooo glad Kaitlynn's poop issue is on track! Whew! Swim time is going to be lots of fun too! And, I see why that bowl would win! Love it! Glad to catch up with life in the Courtright household. And, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers; every single one has been deeply appreciated. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteWow- Connor's school knows how to throw a spring carnival. Looks like there was fun for everyone. And the silent auction offers, how cool for the kids and too fun that Connor won 2 things. Jacob would be in heaven if he won the Wii play time at school and super cool that his teacher gets to come to his house and read him a story. I bet she will love being able to see his award winning Texans bedroom in person. :)
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm the most impressed with the fact that you let him get a painting in his hair. You go girl- hopefully it wasn't too much of a mess to wash out!
Glad you guys are enjoying your spring time and this nice weather!
