She Won!


Our eldest entered a literary contest at the local library. She needed to read 3 books and write an essay on her favorite book. SHE WON! The winner's prize? 3 tickets to see the Red Sox!

Now that we are becoming Red Sox fans (especially with free tickets), we are reading up on the trivia. The Bambino is Babe Ruth. Early in his career he played for the Boston Red Sox. In 1920 Boston sold him to the New York Yankees for $125,000. Since then, the Boston Red Socks , until 2004, had never won another World Series. Red Sox fans had called this run of bad luck the Curse of the Bambino. Now, the curse is broken! Did we tell you they won in 2007 as well?

The question of the day is, which family members will get to go?

Congratulations, Jessie!!! Enjoy the game! (This is Heather, baby Brian's mom, we met during VBS at CTK. I got to your blog via the McFadden's.)

By the way, what books did you read and which did you write about?
