B-I-N-G-O!

Ken and I ventured to my school this evening to play a little BINGO. The PTA was having a big fundraising event with loads of prizes and food so we thought it would be fun to go for a bit. We didn't know at the time we would end up staying for the WHOLE time and leaving at 11pm! It ended up being so much fun and I think I've got my Spanish numbers down stat now.

It was $5 per card so Ken and I decided that we would each purchase one and see where the night takes us. Ken ended up winning BIG in one of the first games. There were 6 other winners his round as well and they ended up having a BINGO off. Whoever had the next number the called would win. 2 of my students were up against him as well and were disappointed when they lost against him (they came up to tell me later that night!) He got a basket of goodies (snack packs, cookies, fruit cocktail, 100 grand bars) and an iron! Of course he came back to our table and handed me the iron saying I would know what to do with it.

Later in the night, I thought I had a BINGO too so I screamed loudly and rain up to the stage only to find out that I was missing a number still. Ha! Nothing like looking like the silly gringa but I laughed it off an ran back to my seats. Luckily, my students were still cheering for me the whole time. I didn't end up winning at all this night either. What a bummer! Ken took home the big bucks for us I guess :)

Now the reason for staying so late is......there was a puppy that was a prize late in the evening. Can you guess who wanted this puppy? He had already given it a name and a place to sleep before it was even on the table. Ken named the little huskie Kaiser and had decided that if he won the dog that we would cancel our trip to Copan for the weekend and just take care of him. We ALMOST won him too with only one number being left to call on our "blackout" card. Unfortunately, or should I say luckily, one of my students won the dog first. Ken was disappointed and was yelling Kaisers name as they took him away. He decided then and there that we would still be able to go on our trip to Copan for Thanksgiving.

It was a really fun night and by the end of it I was able to play two cards at once! My head was spinning a bit with my Spanish numbers but I was rocking it. Ken did great with his numbers too and by the end of the night he wasn't having to look up as much at the BINGO board.

I would highly recommend going to play BINGO one night in a city near you. Nothing like some good 'ole fun!
