I do love peanut butter.  It’s been one of my favortie foods since I was a kid.  Luckily, Peanut Butter was one of the few things that I was NOT allergic to as a child… well after I was 3 or 4 at least.  So I ate a lot of peanut butter in my life.   That being so, the Peanut Butter Blog is one of my favorites.  She finds interesting uses for peanut butter, finds cute clothing and accessories that have something peanut buttery about it.  So when she asked for volunteer Guest Posters, I jumped at the chance.  So Please, visit her great Peanut Buttery Blog and see my post later tonight.

The Peanut Butter Blog

After seeing this Walmart Commercial my son Jack came to me and said, “Mom, I think walmart is sexist”.

Me “Oh? Why do you say that?” I hadn’t seen this particular commercial. He was upstairs watching TV.

Jack, “Because on this commercial they had for halloween. All the costumes that the mom pulls out for boys are super heroes, and all the costumes for girls are princess (which he says with a lisp, btw)ones. Why don’t they have super hero costumes for the girls? Or Doctor costumes. See, they are sexist.”

Me, “oh honey, you just gave me my next blog post!”

This must have worried him a little because he went upstairs and then came right back down and said… “hey before you blog about that, maybe we should rethink it. I mean maybe walmart isn’t really sexist?”

Me “Too late”

Jack “WHAT?!?! You blogged already??”

Me “no, I twittered about it” I did too… really fast!

Jack “But mom! What if walmart sees?”

I guess it was probably a good thing I didn’t tell him some of my twitter friends are the Walmart 11 moms!

Kids! If nothing else, they are great for blogging!

This was too cute NOT to do it! LOL! Enjoy! You can “Elf Yourself” too!

Maybe it’s because the word you’re looking for is no longer in the dictionary?

Some of my best memories are playing games with my family, both when I was a child AND now that I have children.  Some of my favorite games to play as a kid where Yahtzee!, Scrabble, Uno, and Trivia Pursuit (although I”m much better at playing Trivia today than I ever was as a kid  LOL!).  I can remember no matter how many games or hands of cards we played, I was always begging for “Just ONE more!!”  Of course if who ever I was begging gave in to my request, they’d get more begging after that game was done!  LOL!  Now, my sons are the ones begging for just one more game.  Which usually makes my mom burst into laughter and tell me it’s my “comuppance”.
