and the winner is...

Every book fair family night there is a guessing game. This time it was a jar of popcorn. Jackson's guess was only 3 pieces of popcorn off from the answer and so he was the winner! He usually doesn't go to family night as it is a long night and I am so busy during it that it wouldn't be easy for me to keep track of him. Last night though, as a fourth grader, he decided he wanted to come and work. So he worked the bake sale with the other kids and also worked the table with the guessing game -handing out slips and explaining the game. So what did he win? $50 in his choice of books from the fair. Here he is with some of his choices.. the new book by the Spiderwick people, Hotel for Dogs book and Do you Doodle (which is a fantastic book to help with sketching and seeing how to draw everyday things -it will be great for on the plane in a couple of weeks)... Also he got some super cool markers that can change color.. then he decided to go for the Twilight poster (which is already on his wall)with the little bit of money he had left over. He picked every item himself and carefully logged what he was buying to make sure he didn't go over his winnings. He was very proud of his win and so was I. He even asked me to take a picture (then asked if I was going to blog it...) of him with his prize and so here it is!
