Spring Fling with Maddie

This is what it looked like when I arrived at Maddies's middle school for Spring Fling. I almost didn't make it in the torrential rain. Spring Fling is a treat for those students who attended all three days of the EOGs. There were games, food booths, and activities in the gym. And a silent auction as a fund raiser.

When I got there, some of the outside games had come down but there were plenty of damp kids noisily waiting in line for food or having a blast in the gym. Maddie was in charge of the silent auction. The auction items were lovely baskets of goodies each around a different theme that homerooms had put together with contributions from the students. There was some intense competition in the bidding and the principal was in the middle of it. I was delighted with the originality of the contents and the display and I think the school made a little money on it. They made some off me. I couldn't resist bidding on the art basket. I felt foolish putting it in the car, thinking my kids were really too old for the contents. I decided I'd probably just donate it to the PreK at the college.

Then my kids saw the basket. My college bound daughter was the worst. I have no clue what she'll do with the playdoh but I haven't seen her this excited in awhile. So we all had a little spring fling. After all that camcorder/camtasia burnout, happy kids were the cure.
