Family Fun Night 2013

Last Friday was James' school's big fundraiser called Family Fun Night. It's basically a school carnival with a silent auction so both the kids and the grown-ups can have a good time. It was definitely a lot of work, but well worth it because I think it was a great success. We actually changed things up this year and instead of doing individual class projects for each student in which the parents can purchase we did one large project for each class and then did a live auction to auction them off. Each class decorated a step stool as well as one rocking horse for the infant class. I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures of all of them because they turned out really cute, but you can use your imagination. The live auction was a huge success...the stool for my sons class went for over $100! We will definitely be continuing the live auction in the future. I also made another game for the evening this year, a new "Fishing" game, which turned out really cute:

Some of the night's decorations (the theme was "Under the Sea")
We had all the children take home a fish cutout and decorate it any way they wanted and put them all over

The punch out game we made last year...still the most popular game!

The night was a lot of fun and we had a great turnout! We're already looking forward to next year!
