Childcare ended up being a mega-hit for them on Friday evening as a result of I entered a raffle as a part of a fundraiser on the boys’ outdated preschool and received a dad and mom’ evening out. About 20 children (children of the opposite raffle winners) gathered on the preschool to make pizza, play on the playground and create some enjoyable Halloween-themed artwork with just a few of the academics who volunteered to run the night.

We hit the jackpot with our preschool and miss it a lot!
