Giveaway!!!

Happy Monday!!  How about we start off the week with a little giveaway.  Like a super, way cool, SkySlicer the Allosaurus™ from VTech.

My little guy (and even my little girl) LOVED this toy.  He played with it and played with it. For. Hours!  And that was just the first day.  He loved the sound and that he had 2 toys in one.  Even though he mostly played with it as an airplane.

I quite liked the toy as well.  I loved that it was a "learning" toy, without really being a learning toy.  When it's in the Allosaurus mode, it gives some little facts about the Allosaurus.  I also loved that it was easy to switch from the SkySlicer (airplane) to the Allosaurus.  I was able to figure it out in just a minute without needing any instructions.  It was so easy even a guy could do it! ;)  It took the little guy a while to figure it out himself (he's 3), but now he can do it without my help.

Giveaway: It´s Movie Time, brought to you by General Mills

Congratulations to our winner, Susan, commenter #5 who said "I've seen Les Miserables twice...in Los Angeles and on Broadway. Can't wait to see the movie, but I wish Russell Crowe wasn't playing the bad inspector!..." 

Now that Christmas is over I thought it would be a good time to do a giveaway!  And a very cool giveaway if you ask me!

I don't think I can tell you how excited I am about this giveaway!  2 Of my family's favorite things combined. I like LOVE going to the movies!  I go to at least 2-4 movies a month.  I think I'm addicted!  And don't get me started on the insane amount of General Mills cereal I buy.  Have you ever seen a 13 year old boy eat!?  He can go through an entire box of cereal in one sitting!  If he opens a box of Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs or Cookie Crisp, it's as good as gone.  My sweet little 4 and 6 year old can't get enough Lucky Charms.  My 4 year old calls them "Chucky Charms". :)  The baby's favorite is Cookie Crisp.  It always makes me smile when he asks for "Cookies" for breakfast.
