The children's school had a family fun night with book fair, raffle and silent auction. The school does a fantastic job of putting these events together. The PTA gave (for free) hot dogs and chips, juice boxes, water bottles, freeze pops and cupcakes. There was a Moon Bounce and the new playground, which is totally awesome! I went to the event in hopes of winning one of the gift baskets. My budget was 100$ but that was for, what I hoped to be a couple of items. I knew going in I was bidding on the 1st grade game basket. I donated 1 of my 3 extra Bananagram games for this basket. Starting bid 10$. Ahh.. perfect. A few bids went down then I got anxious and worried I may lose so I bid $50. No one was going to over bid me. I knew it. I checked the bid a little bit later and realized it jumped to $70. Darn it! I gave in and bid $80. I was not losing this frigging basket! I needed to stand close by and give my evil eye to anyone who dare think of bidding. No you did not just put down $90! I bid $100. Someone bid $105. I couldn't take the chance so I bid $120. One hundred and twenty dollars!! I then told Sam it sit in front of the basket and grab the pen if anyone tried to over bid me. He is such a good boy because he listened and I WON!!!!
AND
here is what was in side the basket...
Trouble
Guess Who
Apples to Apples
Chess/Checkers
Uno Mod
Skip Bo
9 Card Games
A ball
7 boxes of candy
1 box of popcorn
30$ Target Gift Card
and of course my Banangrams
I did bid on another item too. A bag full of women's shirts and hoodies worth $150. There was only 2 bids and I made the third for $35. I won again! So in the end Hanby school got a pretty little check from me. I think this takes care of all future school fundraisers.
Wow! You made out nice! You guys love games, so that seemed perfect. What size were the shirts and hoodies?? Could you have possibly used all that clothing?? Maybe you can give some to me. :)
