Finals this week bleh bleh
My targets were doing a crayola event today 10-1. My daughter got a bag with a box of 8 markers, 8 big crayons, a box of glitter crayons, a kids cliff bar, a luna bar and she got to pick either a qixels sword or a princess one. There weren’t many kids so they gave her another bag plus a box of kids cliff bars.
