We just finished our third Parent's Night Out, and it went great, as usual! We had a smaller turnout than last time, with 3 kids coming, but we still made money for the adoption fund on a night that we would have just been at home (or worse, out spending money that we didn't need to spend!) We're still slowly chipping in money when we can while still rebuilding our emergency saving fund and paying off medical bills.
Our candy bar sales have kind of plateaued, but that was expected, and we both continue to keep them out at work and we sell a few here and there. We have added over $100 to the adoption fund from just the candy bars, and we still have at least 200 bars left, which will be all profit. We plan on keeping this up indefinitely. In other candy news, I made some adorable birth announcements for my new nephews, Henry and Julian, on Hershey's Nuggets. I have already received 2 other orders, $30 of which has already been put in the fund.
A friend of mine will be hosting a Wrap Party on June 02, and is donating all proceeds to the adoption fund. If you've never tried a body wrap and would like information on the party, please get in touch with me!
We are also planning on being a part of our neighborhood's rummage sale this year. If you are interested in non-financial ways of helping us raise money, this is one! We will be accepting any and all items you would like to donate to the rummage sale, and all of the proceeds will go into the fund. I already have my car parked in the driveway for the foreseeable future so that we can start clearing out the house and organizing and pricing items. We are happy to pick things up from your house if you live in the Indy area (or Muncie, though we would have to plan that on a weekend that we are there!). The rummage sale isn't until sometime next month, so just get in touch with us if you have items to donate!
Klif has also been working major overtime lately, which has been helping out immensely with us catching up. Pat him on the back next time you see him. Or don't, because he doesn't like to be touched. :)
