Happy Reading!
What Fairday's Blog! is all about...
Fairday's Riddles are posted on Mondays- they can be written about anything, and everything, all at the same time : )
Lizzy's Book Reviews are posted on Wednesdays. Lizzy has read just about every middle grade novel out there, and she loves to share her thoughts and, of course, her opinions.
The Top of the Heap is a post we put up on Thursdays. We thought it would be fun once a week to put up two things that we appreciate and have been thinking about during the week. I enjoy doing this post because I love the google hunt for the perfect image to accompany the topic of discussion.
Margo's Musings Fridays belong to Margo, Fairday's little sister. This post focuses on reviewing local children's book authors, which we follow up with an Author Interview.
The DMS Wants to Know was a post we came up with for Saturdays because when we get together to hang out on the weekend, we always chat about different situations and ideas that are floating around in our brains and we like to listen to what other people think about them- some of the comments we've gotten have been absolutely fascinating! We'd love to hear yours!

ReplyDeleteI don't remember 'exactly' what it was I pulled out of the plastic egg. My memories are pretty faded. It had to have been well over 30 years ago (gasp!). All I remember for certain is I was at Disneyland and Snow White handed it to me. Maybe it was a coupon for a free ice cream, or soda? Not sure. It's more Disneyland and less egg that I remember ;)

ReplyDeleteWhere I grew up, plastic eggs had papers with numbers written on them. The numbers corresponded to prizes (usually toys) that kids could claim after the hunt. My favourite prize was a pastel-coloured sugar egg that had little chocolate eggs inside it. So I hunted a plastic egg to win a sugar egg that contained chocolate eggs. LOL!
I'm not sure if this contest is open internationally or not. If so, please consider this an entry. If not, that's fair enough. =) Thanks!

ReplyDeleteAnd the coolest thing? Probably $5, that was nice.
Although, I think at the time I was disappointed, because I was little.
I think the best thing I've ever gotten out of an egg was a $10 bill.

Money when I was a kid. Although it probably only added up to around 50 cents or something. Back then I was ecstatic though! Thanks for the giveaway.
