HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY 2011

Wonko and I don't do too much for Valentine's Day. We love each other and we make sure the other knows it, all through the year, so celebrating on one day seems a bit silly.

We do, however, enjoy spoiling our daughter.

Weeb has been in love with the Mini Pops Kids commercials so we bought the recent the album (electronically) and put it on my old, red iPod Nano. We gave it to her this morning (as we are 'celebrating' Valentine's Day today instead of Monday) and once she figured out what it was, she was over the moon! She's been singing (and I use the term 'singing' VERY loosely) loads, today! It's one of the most awesome things, ever! I can't wait until she actually knows some more words! *snickering*

Weeb is the world's biggest fan of the movie Despicable Me. As we were grocery shopping this morning, she found a pink unicorn. Anyone who has seen the movie hundreds of times (and I know we're not the only ones out there) knows exactly what line I am about to type.

"It's so fluffy, I'm gonna *DIE*!"

Though now I've typed it, it seems kinda creepy, so let's just leave death out of this, please.

Happy Valentine's Day, all. May you be as lucky in love as we are!

TV COMMERCIALS AIMED AT WEEBS

Weeb is sick with a stomach bug at the moment. She's been on the couch since around quarter to five this morning, watching TV (when she's not giving me something else to put in the washing machine).

I am amazed at how low they will go to advertise to children. We don't watch a ton of TV - er, let me rephrase that to - we don't watch a lot of TV with commercials.

Has anyone seen ads for CUPONK? It's a ping pong ball and a cup, sold by Hasbro. It's about $12 CAD. For a ping pong ball. And a cup.

But the cup lights up.

Ah.

Luckily Weeb isn't feeling very well or she'd want the thing.

She does appear to be well enough to tell me that she wants all of the Littlest Pet Shop toys, including the ones currently in McDonalds Happy Meals AND the Strawberry Shortcake Splashin' Petal Pool.

Weeb's birthday and Christmas are only 5 short months away so I suppose I'd better brace myself for all the MUST HAVE items that will crop up between now and then. I've already got 'ping pong ball and cup' on MY wish list!
