The Overpriced But For a Good Cause Dinner

Daniel's preschool held their 4th annual dinner/auction/fund raiser Monday evening at Lane Tree Country Club. Tickets cost us $45 dollars for two adult meals catered by Outback Steakhouse and 2 kids' cheese sandwiches (hence the word ovepriced in the title). Note that the kids' sandwiches was just a slice of cheese and bread, no mayonnaise.

We thought it was worth supporting the event anyhow and bought the tickets. Daniel enjoyed playing with his friends, seeing his teacher, and singing songs for all the parents.


Daniel pretends to run from his teacher, Mrs. Reiss. All the teachers were dressed like fairies with tulled skirts, colorful leggings, fairy wings.

Dancing to his own tune...There wasn't any music at the time; however, I caught Daniel dancing a jig next to the table. He even started break dancing and trying to spin on his back! Where did my boy pick up moves like that?!!

There was a person making balloon shapes. Raelee got a purple poodle that she absolutely loved! Daniel got a sword and proceeded to have a "sword fight" with his friend Maddox.

Daniel singing next to his friend Maddox and all the other preschoolers and kindergarteners. He did a really good job and did all the hand motions, singing his heart out. A far cry from a year ago when he would hold his hands over his ears and holler, "Quit singing!"

All the kids' artwork was displayed throughout the club. Here's Daniel's display. They had a "Starving Artist's Fund" and parents actually had to pay $10 to get their kids' artwork. Anything for a buck, I suppose!

It looks like you had a good time, even if it was overpriced. I know what you mean about these school fundraisers. Emily has one coming up. The parents have to donate to the class baskets and then they expect us to turn around and big on/buy the baskets!
