Preschool Project

TJ and I had our first experience helping out with one of Keaton's school projects.  I knew this day would come but didn't think it would be when he was 2. This was a new world for us but I think we did pretty well.

Keaton's co-op preschool had an auction and each class worked on a class project to bid on.  Every parent has a job in the preschool and mine was to help out with this along with another lady.

The parents voted and decided on a bookshelf and each parent donated their child's favorite book to put in it.

A parent in the class donated the bookshelf but it was in rough condition so TJ refinished it so that it looked brand new.

Another parent Susan, who was also helping out on the project, made bookends that were images of the 2 teachers in the class.

We had pictures of all the kids in the class but didn't want to permanently put the images on the bookshelf since there were people from different classes at the auction making it less mass appealing.  So we decided to hang a decorative banner on it. This was the perfect opportunity for me to get rid of a bunch of miscellaneous scrapbooking paper that I had laying around...and I got to do something crafty since it has been months. 

 

TJ and I didn't stay for the entire auction but we found out that the winning bid was $200.  I thought that was pretty good!
