Spring Fling is OVER!!!!!!

Finally the Farmingdale Spring Fling is over! Maybe I will finally get my wife back. Angie had to organize the donations for both the Pre-K and Kindergarten auction baskets. She also had to come up with and execute the Kindergarten Art project for the auction. Her idea was to use fingerprint art to decorate a bookcase with pictures and titles of children's books. After many practice runs with all the kids (and adults) here at the house, Angie went to the school and had to get all four Kindergarten classes prints to make the pictures she came up with. It turned out pretty well and she even included a scrapbook of pictures of each class and a copy of their artwork with the artists' names listed below each. It raised $150 for the school. [Next year, I might just donate the $150 to keep her away from all of the projects.]

Angie was also in charge of the Kindergarten booth at the Spring Fling. It was the "Candy Bar Walk", which is just like a cake walk but the winner gets a candy bar and everyone else leaves with a Tootsie Roll. She worked an hour in that booth and a half hour in the library with the book sale. I worked the Candy Bar Walk for a half hour and the Pre-K bean bag toss for a half hour. The kids had a blast at the Spring Fling, but I don't think we have ever been so happy for something to finally be over.
