Spaghetti Dinner and Carnival

So, right now I am working in this school that holds a spaghetti dinner and carnival every year to raise money for some of the retreats that the students go on every year. It just so happened to take place Thursday night and I was able to attend, with my husband, son, and in-laws in toe. And initially, I wasn't looking forward to it, but it turned out to be so much fun!!

I have to confess that the main reason that I didn't want to go to it was because I didn't want to have to work at it. I wanted to go with my family and leave when I wanted to, I didn't want to have to stay all night.

So we bought our tickets ahead of time for the spaghetti dinner. Then after eating two plates of spaghetti (it was all you could eat), then we wandered around the carnival. I stopped and bought 3 punch cards for Lukin (worth $3) so he could play games. That was probably the best $3 ever spent. He had fun. We all had fun watching him do the cookie walk, win his minnow race, 'fish' for candy, putt-putt golf (hilarious!! He picked up the ball after two failed attempts and just put it in the hole!), and go to the duck pond. It was fun.

We also bid on some stuff for the silent auction. I bid on like four different things: gift cards for Red Lobster, Dairy Queen, a lion backpack for Lukin, and a baby basket for the new baby. The only thing we won was the lion backpack. That's fine. It's super cute and I am going to give it him for V-day.

The next day (Friday), I told one of the coordinators that they had to email me next year so that we could attend again no matter where I worked. We truly did have that much fun!
