The cost of Kindergarten - ask #3

Date: October 17, 2015
What the ask was: Annual Walk-A-Thon
What we gave: $31
Why we gave that amount: First of all, we never got Star's pledge forms.  The courier pigeon approach to information sharing (which drives me crazy, by the way) finally broke down, and the pledge forms never got home.  And, yes, I could have contacted the organizers and somehow received the pledge forms, but honestly, I feel like we gave too much at ask #1, so I'm not inclined to over-give at this point.  The $31 that we gave broke down like this - $10 for all the laps she walked (minutes she danced, hula hoop time...), $6 for 2 tamales and $15 for one t-shirt for Star.  

ask #1 - $1,111
ask #2 - $49
ask #3 - $31

Page Updates

I've made a few changes here.  I updated my About Me page, and, I added a page on indoor cycling.

Enjoy!

The cost of Kindergarten - ask #2

Date: The week of September 28th, 2015
What the ask was: School Pictures.  We weren't required to buy school pictures, but I'm kind of obsessed with them.  
What we gave: $49
Why we gave that amount: This bought us packages K, E and S which will give us a variety of sizes of Star's individual picture so that we can keep some, and pass along some to Star's grandparents.  We also got the class composite, and the image download.

ask #1 - $1,111
