Library Prizes

Our local library has fantastic programs for the youth. We just had the winter reading that had the theme of the wild west. Cowboys! Elliott was so excited-he is fascinated with cowboys! He tells everyone that his name is Wild Bill Elliott-a name that Cowboy Papa Earl gave him. Each of the reading programs and crafts had to do with cowboy or western stuff. The kids got to have a bingo sheet and for spaces they had to say "howdy" to the librarians, tell a cowboy joke to a librarian, find and hide toy snakes among the book shelves and other fun things. If they read so many books (which is never a problem in our house!) they can enter into a drawing for a prize of their choice. *In the 4 years we've been doing this, we have never been drawn for anything!

Well, it's a new day! Both Elliott and Roswell won a prize!
Elliott chose a long plush snake, and Roswell chose a battery-operated bubble maker. They were so excited!
