Limo Pizza Party...

Awhile back Catherine brought home the oh so loved fundraiser stuff. Really crap, you pay 10 dollars for something that turns out to be an inch tall and breaks fast, OR candy that has 5 pieces in a box. But there was a catch, they told all the kids if they sold 250 dollars worth of stuff they got a pizza party limo ride!!!

Of course my innocent first time 6 year old was all about this. First problem I had is they had to right to pump this up so much to these kids in her class, they are all babies, they are barely 5, some 6 but I think Catherine is the oldest one. They don't understand what it really means to sell 250 dollars...

I explained to her the amount of stuff that was and told her that this time I would do it, that no matter what we would get her that limo ride, but she had to understand after this time, we would sell what we could and wouldn't worry about the big prize anymore. She agreed, I am trying to help her understand money and how much things cost and so forth.

So I ended up spending 45 dollars, her daddy bought 50 something, grampa bought 40, gramma bought 40 and john (uncle) bought like 30 dollars worth. Then we sold very few things to other people and got her enough to be part of the party.

Fast foward today...of course her teacher forgot to send the paper home telling me it was today!! So i missed it but she got to be a part of it. Thank goodness her teacher did send home the permission form awhile back. So my sweet little baby girl got to ride in a limo.

She said only 3 in her room got to go, it was her and Waylen, and crying Danny. She has two dannys in her room, talking danny and crying danny lol. There were many others but from what i understand the three stuck together. It was from 10:30 to 12:30 so a good part of the day :)

She had fun and thank goodness there weren't many parents there so she was cool without me there. She said it was like she was a big girl off on her own with her two friends.

So my baby girl has ridden in a limo!! She was so thrilled...Then i sent her away to her daddy's :( but just cause i gotta get the total house cleaned tomorrow for kristi coming wednesday woo hoo plus i gotta wrap their presents and make sure I am done with theirs.
