I hope everyone made it through the earthquake and hurricane last week.  Now there is a sentence I never thought I would be typing!  I was downtown for the quake and it scared the daylights out of me.  Irene was more of a non-event at our house.  We got the rain and wind, but have definitely had much more damage in regular thunderstorms in the past.  (yes, I am knocking on wood as I type this).

So, did getting the kids back to school go smoothly?  Did everything run as planned?  We'd love to hear from you on your back to school traditions, tips and tricks since my little guy will be starting kindergarten next fall.

The new winner of the Mabel's Labels Ultimate Back to School Combo is Samuel Grubb! 

The winner of the Mead prize pack is Jill Babby!

Please e-mail me at Lanim@macaronikid.com with your address to confirm that you want your prize by 9am on Thursday, otherwise a new winner will be selected.

In addition to the event listings, remember there are LOTS more events listed in the updated weekly events article including open gyms, story times at the local libraries, craft workshops and more. We also have a Kids Eat Free or Cheap section, a Macaroni Kid Saves section and a section about how to work with us.  And PLEASE always feel free to e-mail me at Lanim@macaronikid.com if you know of other events, or any corrections I need to incorporate.  I cannot run everyone's events, but I try to include the large ones that will interest many of our readers.

I know I say this every week...but please be sure to "like" our facebook page to be the first to find out about special last minute giveaways and events in Rockville & Gaithersburg as well. 

If for some reason this did not make it to your inbox and you are a subscriber, make sure to add Lanim@macaronikid.com to your contacts. That should solve the problem!

Have a great one and until next week...Peace, Love, & Macaroni!
