Last week at Mimi's school it was Bookfair week and on Thursday night the kids celebrated the end of Bookfair week by having a silent auction and raffle baskets. Mimi and I had system going for ourselves. This year as opposed to last year I brought $40.00. Six dollars went to our spagetti dinner (3 dollars each) and the rest of the money went for the raffle tickets. As I wrote the names on the tickets, Mimi went to put the tickets in the collection box by each raffle basket. The raffle baskets were provided by each class and each class had a theme. Mimi's class theme was Legos. I must say that they had some pretty good stuff on the silent auction tables. There were stuff donated by the Seahawks, Mariners and other local businesses such as massage parlors and spas, jewelry, purses and vacation spots just to name a few. Dad was not able to make it for the dinner as it started at 5:30 but he did make it for the end of the raffle basket. Our neighborhood lucked out Jess received a day at the spa amongst other spa items, Erin won a glam girl basket filled with all sorts of girly items and Blake won an all boy basket. Things that would make a boy jump for joy. I did pretty good myself. I won all of the fix'ins to make a Margarita including the blender. How about that?! However Mimi was not happy as there were not any toys in our basket but who cares?
Just before going over to the school that evening, Mimi mentioned to me that the next day would be Wacky Hair Day and that she wanted to temporarily dye her. She says "Mom, Bryton and Kolton are going to dye their hair red, white and blue!" Sure enough they did. However it was colored hair gel.Since Mimi gave me such late notice, I was not able to dye her hair. Tried using a little food coloring in it but it didn't work. Oh you should have seen all of the kids in their wacky hair. A lot of did what Mimi did. Some had used the colored hair gel while others wore curlers and wigs. It was a fun day for all.
