CONTEST!!!
I found these books here. click HERE to read Jennifer's review of what awesome books these are. Her blog post had me typing a search on Amazon immediately after reading. Any author that not only produces great Christian books, but gives free signed books to enamored little boys...he's golden to me.
If you win my contest I will send the entire 6 book series free of charge-o-la. All have been read once and are in great condition.
THE CATCH:
To enter my contest you need to blog an imaginary letter to one of your children. If you choose to show your child the letter, that's your decision. Your letter could be funny, sweet or serious. Your choice.
You do know that I lean towards funny, but a well written sentimental note could totally win.
Some ideas? Your letter could re-tell your favorite story from their childhood. Your letter could tell them what to look for in a spouse someday. Your letter could be a poem to tell them how much you love them.
I want you to choose only one of your children to write to. I have a method to my madness.
So, get cracking if you want this series for free. Contest will end this weekend. Whenever I'm bored and need to blog. (how's that for exact?)
The End.

Oh, wow! You would make us work for it wouldn't you! ;)
Emily - we love these books! How can you bear to pass them on? :)
What happened to those nice, easy contests where we just leave a simple comment? Sigh. Making us work! Sniff.
Can I have my child write the post and call it homework?
Ironically, I had just written my son a letter....not very long ago.

Em~
I'm SO in this one!!!!
But I can't leave a link to your blog, cause I haven't tried it yet, I'm a great big baby, I know you left me the instructions on how to do it, haven't tried it yet, being really lazy, don't want to learn, hate computer stuff, etc, etc, etc, sob sob sob!!
But I'm entering!
Wow, can I just pay you for the books and go over everyone's heads??? LOL!
And I know I won't win anyway, because I'm your RLF and it would look funny, like I cheated....
But I'm entering!
Leanne
well this gives me something to think about. if my brain cooperates i might come up with something.
Sorry Leanne but you have to do a link to be entered. It brings traffic to my blog and makes it worth giving away these $50+ dollar books.
Man, you are tough! I'll have to go read the review and see if it is WORTH working for. :) I'm nothing if not lazy!
Remember your very first contest ever? Ah... the start of a beautiful friendship.
Man, you sure do know how to make a person work for their prize. Dang...Stretching my brain muscles and all.
Being that the flu seems to have taken over a section of our home...I may or may not dive in. But just know I LOVE the idea!
Hi Emily;
What a fun contest, not sure if I will get a chance to play. I spend most of my time coughing up my insides, as of late.
How is B. doing?

Wow, sounds like our oldest boy would love those books! Hmmm, I will try to do the assignment Teacher, but I should tell you I was one of those "do my work at the last minute" girls! Which child to choose...
I linked to your contest on my most recent blog post. Just scroll down to ze bottom. :-)
I'm not entering though since I am almost out of time before we head south-- that, and we have the series too. Great prize, Emily!!! Someone is going to be very very happy!
My dear eeeemommy loves books, so this one's for her...well, kinda...

Here it is...
I've heard of these books, and know my eight-year-old would love them- so would his daddy! Thanks for a great giveaway
Ok, I want to do this one. Where do I send the letter to? I don't know how to link it to this comment.

I was procrastinating from cleaning the bathrooms and finally wrote mine. Here it is: http://thesakeofthecall.blogspot.com/2008/02/my-dearest-ethan.html
P.S. The contest was a great incentive to actually write it, but I wrote it for HIM not the contest. Just so you know....
