Fun-N-Frolic

Today was the annual Fun-N-Frolic (read: sort of carnival) at Wesley's school. Being the sadistic supportive PTA parents that we are, Duane and I volunteered in a variety of ways for the event.

Duane went to the school after work last night and spent several hours helping to set up games and tables so things would be pretty ready today. Then he came home and made a cake to donate for the cake walk game at the school. And, as you know, Duane cannot do an ordinary cake. He made an octocake!

It was a hit at the cake walk. One of Wesley's classmates won it and her mom was showing it off to people. Even better, this family has a birthday party tomorrow and is going to use the cake for it. Double win!!

Anyhow, this morning Duane dropped me off at the school to finish set up, then he and the kids joined me about an hour later.  And then the fun really began.  Duane and I ended up running one of the games for awhile because some of the volunteers we late, but the boys got to do all the games and they had a ball. Here's where I give a big shout out to my friend and PTA partner in crime Pam and her hubby who also went above and beyond in helping today as well!

The guys getting temporary tattoos. They skipped the crazy hair though.

Wesley's favorite thing was the sand art. He must have done 5 different containers of it.

Ryan really liked it too

Ryan won a root beer playing Ring-a-Pop.

Of course, once the Fun-N-Frolic was over, we stayed to help clean up. Which was notably less fun. Next week is the school yard sale, which will allow us to wear ourselves out all over again. Ah, the joys of being a PTA parent!
