Not To Tempt You, But...

Here are some of our winter reading prizes.

Also, please send help. I am addicted to the squishy brain prize.

California Pizza Kitchen gave us some free kids meals. Oberweis in Elmhurst gave free ice cream!

Oh, and this year we have marble sets that include instructions on how to play the game.

There are loads of other prizes, too. This is just all I can handle right now because the squishy brains are taking up 97.2% of my attention. 

Maybe later I can post more,
