Since school started I don't really get many chances to spend time with just Brooke so I was very excited to take her to her school Fall Festival Fund Raiser (at $20 per kid I would say they raised some funds!) just me and her. She was excited to go because it meant that she got to see her teacher on a Saturday...I have never seen a child love a teacher so much...she actually asked me if she could live with Mrs. Santos...sometimes when we are at home she will pretend that I AM Mrs. Santos and one day on the way home from school she would not stop crying because she said "I don't ever want to go to heaven because I will miss Mrs. Santos so much"....so anyway Saturday came and it was Fall Festival day and it just so happened that it poured rain ALL day.....poor girl was almost in tears thinking she would not get to see her teacher after all and I was almost in tears thinking I was not going to get out of the house....but lucky for us they just moved everything inside (like they were going to miss out on $20 per kid!!). So she dressed up in her costume and I took my little princess up to the school. We spent two hours up there and we had an absolute blast!!! She jumped in the bounce houses, did a cake walk, made a button, had her face painted, played a ton of games, won candy, "bought" a megaphone...light up ring and sunglasses from the school store....we ate popcorn, a caramel apple, pizza and nachos....she got to see Mrs. Santos three times and she hugged her every time like it was the first. But best of all we got to have a mommy daughter date and spend some much needed time together. She got to see her teacher on a Saturday AND I got to get out of the house which in my book is well worth the $20!
