The Power of Advertising :-)

I thought I'd comment on the power of advertising. While watching Dora (or one of those shows for kiddos), the commercial came on for a new craft idea, called Paperoni! Everytime we saw this commercial, Gabbrielle was ecstatic. "We got to have those Mom! They don't need any glue." (Which, I must admit, is a plus for her :-) Anyway, I proceeded to explain to her that I don't like to buy things off the tv (she kept giving me the 1-800 number). I said if it is a good product, it will eventually be in the stores, and we'll check it out then (at least I thought I was putting it off for a while). Well, today we went to Target and, low and behold, what was the first thing Gabbrielle saw. PAPERONI!!!! and yes, I bought it, and yes, it is pretty cool and the kids had a great time doing it. But, it also gave me the perfect "opportunity" to teach them about the power of advertising. :-) Here are some pics of the girls and I making a fish and a doggy with the "glueless" paperoni!

Check out the new sparkle on Gabbrielle's ears! This was a recent addition that she is very proud of :-) She was so brave, she didn't even flinch when they pierced either one.
