Thankful for his First Thanksgiving

Ok, it IS totally tasteless.  Very Tacky.  But I Laugh So Hard each time I see this ad from K-Mart . You know, the one where the guys are in underwear and they umm dance to the Christmas music.  Cracks me up. Every. Single. Time. But there are some folks who take great offense to it.  Ironically, those same folks have no issue with Victoria Secret commercials, but that's besides the point, right? One Facebook friend did make the comment that the K-Mart commercial reminded him too much of the Hersey's Silver Bells commercial and because of that association, he can no longer eat Hersey's chocolate.  LMAO….   Thankful for the Giggles.

My husband wanted to take candlelight pictures of me with our son.  Ummm, the only problem is that with the candle light, he had to adjust the shutter speed… so, how do you get your son's attention and keep it focused for a few seconds?  Not an easy task, but my husband came up with the idea of using a "red light pointer pen"… yep, like trying to get the dog or cat to chase after the red dot that moves, we used this idea for our son - put the red dot on the wall where we wanted Gregory to look and there you go… only, it was just for a split second before he wanted to look elsewhere.  Ah well, we did get two shots….

I was chosen to write an article review for Pampers on the Jefferson Parish Parent site. Today the article was published. I'd love it if you could visit the site and read the article, bonus, there are cute pictures of Gregory in the article. Plus the article shares three great ways to win giveaways from Pampers!  Here's the site for Jefferson Parish Parents .  http://jeffersonparishparent.com/ The article is titled, Silent Night with Pampers - Review and Giveaway This is my first product review and I would really appreciate any feedback you can offer!

I'm thankful that my husband went with me to see the second movie of the Hunger Games.  And I'm thankful that he didn't go nutty after the many cliffhangers (I read all the books, so I was prepared, but he wasn't.. ok, so he went a little nutty, but not bad.  Lol).
