Parent's Night Out

Last Friday was our first fundraiser to raise money to help with our trip back to Africa in October.

In case you didn't know... I am going back to Uganda in October...and it gets better!

I will be there during my Birthday week!

I am going with my friends

Brittany

Stacey and her Boyfriend Aaron

We have a great group! and I'm so excited!

.....back to the fundraiser

Britt and I did a Parent's night out at Desperation Church

We were really only expecting around 5 kids, because we ran out of time and did not advertise very well.

We were pleasantly surprised to have 12 kids!!!

We are hoping to have a much bigger turn out in the future (total cost of trip is around $2000.00, so we have a ways to go)... but that was a good number to start out with and see what went well and what we might want to do differently.

Everything went smoothly and we had a lot of fun!

We painted faces

I learned to paint spiderman and was pleased with the end result!

She was such a big Helper!

So cute!

had a few races...

and a talent show!

which included singing, stand-up comedy, and dance

By the end of the night we had them quiet, watching a movie, and most importantly...

NO injuries!

Thanks to everyone for bringing your children!

If you missed out on this one, we plan to have several more in the future and hope to see you there!
