If you were going to plan a Fall Festival at Kitty's school, what theme would you choose to make her the happiest little kitty in the entire world?
I'll tell you what you'd choose...Star Wars.
Imagine Kitty's excitement when she brought home the flyer announcing that this year's Fall Festival would be centered around Star Wars. Imagine hearing her talk about this perfect theme every day for a solid month leading up to the festival. Imagine Kitty bounding out of bed the day of the festival and excitedly putting on her planned outfit. Imagine Booney bidding on all of the auction items like a gambling addict hoping for a win.
Just imagine that.
It was our first Fall Festival and Kitty was aflutter with anticipation. It's the school's fundraiser for the year so they have a silent auction in addition to the carnival games and bounce houses. I donated some of Michael's money and then also bid on every auction item like a crazy person. It turns out some people are even crazier than I am. I only successfully won a single, solitary item - artwork that Kitty's class had done. Which reminds me...I'm still waiting to receive my prize. Is this some kind of scam?!
I really wanted the VIP carline pass that allows you to pick up your kid at the back of the school, thus avoiding all the traffic. But I didn't win. Some sucker paid nearly $400 for that. I'll stick with my $25 piece of priceless artwork.
We had a fabulous time at the festival and it was fun to see Kitty meeting up with her little friends. She even got to dunk her soccer coach in the dunk tank. What a thrill! The weather was perfect and it turned out to be a pleasant way to spend a Friday evening.
Happy Fall Festival!
