If you give a kid a fun night

Tonight the kids school had a family fun night. It was a nice family outing centered around Laura Nuberoff's book series "If you give a mouse a cookie." They had free dinner for the families followed by at least 15 or so booths to play games at.

You got a little passport with all the games listed and as you completed the games you got a stamp on your passport. You had to collect at least 7 stamps to get the big reward at the end.

Both kids did a great job waiting in line for their turn at the games. The school was a bit crowded so there were people and kids everywhere. Andrew could do some of the tasks but had some problems with others. Megan was a pro at all that she attempted to do.

Megan was a bit sad at the end she really wanted to get her face painted but I think the rest of the school wanted that as well. That line was so long it would have taken an hour just for that one single thing. Andrew was in no way going to hold out and wait while she stood in line so we had to pass on that one.

At the end the kids each got a stuffed animal and a book. Our kids got "If you give a moose a muffin" and a stuffed moose. Andrew instantly fell in love with his and after dressing hers up Megan has warmed up to hers. It was a fun school event for the family.
