Last Friday we attended the school's Harvest Bingo. This event was much more low-key (and less chaotic...i.e., no kids running around) than the Harvest Festival at our old school. After a quick dinner of BLT's and tator tots, Peter and I worked on getting the boys dressed in their costumes and made the 5 minute walk to the school (awesome!). PTA members were given a free bingo card, and then we had the option of purchasing the $10 family bingo card set, which we did. We also grabbed some pizza and pop to munch on while we played. Peter and I agreed that the best part was the lack of excessive candy. At our old school, boys would come home with a bag full of candy they won at all the games they played and would gorge on it the entire weekend. At this school, candy was only available for purchase, ranging from 25cents to $1. I treated the boys to one piece of candy each...and that was it! Clifford, however, was really annoyed by this. But it definitely limited any melt downs towards the end of the evening. We stayed and played for a good portion of the event before cutting out early. Unfortunately, we didn't win and left empty handed, but we had fun nevertheless.

Clifford was WAY less work to get ready. We rubbed coffee grounds and brown eye shadow to give him a "dirty" look

Peter getting in on the dress up action. He ran out of time and had to just settle for horns. Still, he was a hit!
