There were bounce houses, throw pies at the teacher, a DJ, limbo, cotton candy, chocolate fountain, food galore, carnival games, cake walks, boutique vendors and the raffle.
Most of the kids from Hayden's class were there and they ran and played and had a great time! He LOVED throwing a pie at the 1st grade teacher that he is an aide for. He loved popping balloons with Gunter and Joey. He was in heaven.
Thomas and I purchased $20 worth of raffle tickets, for a total of 12 tickets to put into the different raffle buckets. Before the raffle, I told Thomas that we needed to get up early and we weren't going to win anything so lets just leave. He wanted to stick around and it is a good thing we did.
It felt like every other name called was "Hayden Murphy". In fact, all the parents were cheering Hayden on because he was LOVING all the attention and going up to claim his prizes.... yes, prizes. He won... an MP3 player and jumped up and down and one would have thought he won the lottery. Nevermind that this boy has an IPOD, nope, he won his long awaited MP3 player and was so happy. Then, he won $50 to Bounce U, a $25 Target gift card, ice cream cones, a Brighton purse, and the grand prize... a bbq grill, bbq tools, propane tank, cookbook and gadgets. No one could believe all that he won. Yep, 1/2 of our raffle tickets won. Hayden was on the clouds and loved all the attention. (I was tempted to have Hayden purchase lottery tickets that night-boy was he on fire. ) We had such a great time! I love just hanging out and talking with the parents, teachers and staff. Too much fun! And, winning over $300 worth of prizes, yes, that was great, too!
