Today my wife and youngest two will be on the morning news show: Daybreak. My wife organized the first MacaroniKid Broomfield Costume Swap, and she partnered with A Precious Child. So, what does that mean and how is it newsworthy?
First, the deal is for people to bring in last year's costumes for their kids. Then, they can trade it for a 'new to them' costume. The cost is free, so it is basically 'trading up' last year's costume. No guarantees there will be a costume in your kid's size, but any left over costumes will go to A Precious Child. The swap is happening at Sill-Terhar Motors this afternoon from 3:00 to 6:00.
Second, if people bring in new diapers or a new package of underwear for A Precious Child, they will enter into a raffle. Prizes include 4 tickets to Yo Gabba Gabba Live and free meals at Chick-Fil-A in Broomfield. I think there is one or two others, but not sure.
The Broomfield Enterprise heard about it and made it a front page story. Yes, that is a picture of my girls goofing around in their costumes. After that my wife received a call from the Colorado Morning News Daybreak, and she was asked to appear "with models". So, the kids will miss the first few hours of school tomorrow, but they will be on the news station and are pretty excited about it.
Kaylee, the 17 year old, will NOT be going to model. She had enough issues with the picture in the paper. I'm sure I will hear all about it when they return. I will miss it, however, as I will be attending the Caffeinated Careers Club, hosted by the indomitable Tracy Laswell Valdez, in an effort to find new employment.
