We have a winner!

For the second summer now we participated in the public library's summer reading program. The kids log the hours that they read and for every hour they get a ticket to put into canisters that represent different prizes. Also, when they go to the library they can do weekly activities and different library activities and for each one they complete they also get a ticket. Well my kids LOVE to read and Kendra was bound and determined to win something this year. Last year Preston won a mystery bag full of different books and things. Ethan was gung ho at the start but didn't last long and actually didn't get much reading done. Kendra would spend hours in her room reading all kinds of books. The library puts a five hour per day cap on it and there were a couple of days that she hit that cap. From the start of the program Kendra really wanted the Ipod shuffle. She put tickets in other canister too, but she really just wanted the ipod. She told me many times how much she hoped to win it. Well the last day came and they drew the winners and we went online to see if anyone had won anything what would you know....Kendra WON the IPOD! She was jumping up and down and screaming in excitement.

When we went to claim her prize she was shaking with excitement and the librarian could she just how excited she was. She got to have her picture taken in front of one of the prize cabinets.Kendra definitely worked hard to win that Ipod and logged over 40 hours of reading. GOOD JOB KENDRA!!
