Joel’s comment on my last post reminded me that it is probably time for another give away. But, sorry, Joel—it won’t be an air fare and football tickets—no can do. However, September always reminds me of the beginning of school, even though most kids start in August now a day. So in honor of all those cuties going back to school, this give away is for kids. Any child up to the age of 18 may enter. If you don’t have a blog account, ask your parents to enter you in the contest listing your name. If I don’t know where you live, leave me a contact (e-mail, phone, address, etc.) in case you win.
In entering, please list what your favorite part of school is this year. If you’re a pre-schooler and just learning to talk, that’s fine, just let Mom or Dad know what you like best about pre-school and they'll do the rest.
From a random drawing, the winner will receive a $30 gift card for Target. I LOVE their back to school commercials. This one is my favorite.
Contest ends FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 at 6 pm EST. Oh, I'll also throw in some Silly Bandz.
Here are some “school-daze” first-day-of-school pictures from our family archives:
