Family Fun Night

The RHS Music Department hosted Family Fun Night tonight at school.  It is a really fun way for the kids to earn money towards their band/choir trip to Disney World next spring.

As we have the past 2 years, Annah and I ran the cupcake walk.  It is always fun to do this together.  This time, some of Annah's friends stopped by at various times throughout the night and helped.  

In the gym, there was face-painting and many other games and stations.  These Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pretty good pals of ours.

Sylvia and Caeden got to buy some tickets and have a little fun at the various stations.  Caeden's favorite is the bounce house outside.  He also won a Gatorade at the ring toss.  Then he came back to me and begged for more money.  When I told him he had to wait until the second hour to get more, he got angry and I told him he then had to wait 15 minutes more because of his attitude.  He continued to get angrier and kicked his bottle of gatorade.  I texted his father to come pick him up, and he did not get to enjoy any more of the fun because of his terrible attitude.  He has to learn that begging, getting angry, whining, and complaining will not get him what he wants.  So frustrating.

Sylvia ran out of tickets and decided to go play outside on the playground with Morgan and Katelin, Ella, Reece, and Zach.  They played tether ball and basketball.  Her friends were very surprised at her complete lack of knowledge about basketball, but they were very patient in teaching her and letting her play with them.  She had fun.  Oh, and last night she baked some of her excellent Pioneer Woman Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Cookies for the bake sale tonight.  She was very thoughtful to set aside some for her band and choir directors too.

Next year, Annah won't be raising money for her trip anymore, because it will be over by this time.  Sylvia will have her turn.  I could potentially be running the cupcake walk for 4 more years.  :)
