This and That

The fog is finally clearing out of my head.  Boy, that was some party last night.  We hardly ever go to parties, especially on a school night, but I have to hand it to our neighbor who organized it for his company, boy knows how to throw a party!  We had such a fun time dancing to 80's hip hop music so much fun that we lost track of time and got home much later than we had planned.  But I know it was worth the late night because I am sitting here smiling when I think about it.  Thank you Jason and Mari for inviting us!  "All the party people in the house say 'Hey!' "

On a totally different note, I am getting ready to go to Costco to buy some snacks for the PTA bake sale today after school.  It's our first one of the year.  We want to make sure it's successful.  We have a wonderful group of ladies who are totally into PTA this year.  Only one of the five speaks English which means we have to have translators at every PTA executive board and general assembly meeting.   I am very proud of them for wanting to be involved in their children's school. One of them wants to raise enough money to send all the fifth graders on a trip to DC.  When I was in DC with the girls last weekend, we calculated how much money we would need to take the entire fifth grade and it was A LOT.  We would need $30,000 just for the airfare! But if we start raising money with this year's Pre-K class and if we apply for grants and corporate donations (from airlines!), we should be able to do it.  The ladies want to bring this up at the PTA board meeting next week.  Their enthusiasm is contagious!  I love it.  I hope more parents get infected with it.  

I'm off to buy snacks.  Happy Halloween!  TTYL.
