Winter Carnival

Connor, Lonny and I attended the Winter Carnival at school the other night. It is an annual fundraiser to benefit Christmas Box International. CBI provides counseling, assistance, schooling, medical and dental services and so much more to children who have been neglected or abused. But most of all, it provides them with a place of safety. For more on this wonderful organization, please visit https://www.thechristmasboxhouse.org/site/ (I have no idea why I can't get links to work anymore, can anyone help???) I am so grateful that Connor attends a school that has provided such an emphasis on serving others and the community.
Connor had the opportunity to partipate in lots of games, such as the duck pond, ring toss, ball toss and a cake walk. There was also a book fair and he snagged him a copy of a Wow Wow Wubbzy book (latest obession, along with Yo Gabba Gabba - which, I actually dig).



But the best part of all was meeting THE rockstar of Scholastic Books....Clifford the Big Red Dog!

(I refrained from posting the pictures where Connor climbs up on Clifford's lap and looks inside his eyes and yells "I can see the teacher in there!". Because it was a little embarrassing. And because it hurts just a little bit to know that he ain't buying that it's really Clifford.) We took a very tired boy home who went right to sleep. We had a great time...three cheers for Con's school!
