Day Out With Thomas

A couple weeks ago, Thomas the Train came to Georgia!!!!
Of course, as soon as I saw he was coming, I new we would be going!

Broxton LOVES Thomas, so I knew this would be a special treat!
With Marc working for the railroad, I knew that trains would be a popular theme around here...

My parents ended up coming to meet us for our Day Out...
I did not tell Broxton where we were going, just that we were going to see my parents...
We got there and as soon as he saw Thomas he was SO EXCITED!!!
( It made it worth the 3 hours it took to get there!)

We got there and immediately went to get in line to ride Thomas.
We ended up getting to sit in the "dining car."
They were getting ready to go...
and they told everyone to help "PUSH THOMAS! PUSH THOMAS!" to get him going. (He was tired from going all day.)
This is how Broxton helped :

Just look at the wonder in his body language, he is watching us "leave the Island of Sodor."
I thought it was neat that we were "leaving the island" and we crossed over water!
Luckily I was able to get my dad to snap a couple pictures of the two of us...
You know, as proof I was actually there!
Of course, Broxton had to look anywhere but at the camera!


After we were able to take our ride, we had a quick bite of lunch with my parents...
You know, on the Island of Sodor! :)
Then, they left and Broxton played with the small trains, colored and all that fun stuff!
It started getting really warm, so we headed home...

We did not even make it out of the parking lot before I turned around to see this!
(Took the pants off to cool him down for the journey home!)

    The Thomas visit looks like it was a lot of fun. It looks like Broxton was so tired.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
