Carnival Celebration

This year I was in charge of our school's carnival.  The games and food, popcorn, lemonade and cotton candy are all free and everyone who has 100% homework or attendance get to go.  About 90% of the kids get to go.  They go at different hours according to their grade.  It was so fun seeing Esther and her class come into the gym because this is their first year.  This carnival tradition started when Hannah was in 1st grade and I would bring our cotton candy machine.   For the past 3 years we haven't been able to give away cotton candy because of a state law passed that prohibits certain foods but our principal let us this year because the students could choose a fat free granola bar or cotton candy.  I think only 3 kids picked the granola bar.  Scott was in charge of the cotton candy this year and made 460!  We had 80 parents/grandparents volunteer.  It is a production but so fun.
