Meet Norman PhartEphant. He is what you might call a little "gassy machine".  If you give his tail a squeeze, you will hear some "pharting" sounds (and maybe an apology or two!), but thankfully the stink has not quite made it to this toy!

Made by Firece Fun Toys, whose mission is to promote laughter, staying involved in helping others and maintaining the highest quality standards for their products, Norman PhartEphant is sure to get a smile out of the crowd.  And it wouldn't surprise me at all if you know one particular person who would fall in love with this toy.

Amber is one of those people who doesn't like to admit they're getting older, and want to keep being...well....a kid.

Klutz sent her the second volume in their Encyclopedia of Immaturity series, to see what she thought of it. She enjoyed reading and snickering at many of the articles, and she is planning on sharing it with her best friend the next time she comes over to hang out. I'm pretty sure they'll find many activities to keep themselves amused within the covers of this book.

She already has a couple of the entries down pat like the

Imagine a movie (rated PG) that is one giant parody of sci-fi and super hero movies, that your whole family can watch together, and you might even catch your tween or teen suppressing a few laughs.

In Super Capers, Ed Gruberman (played by Justin Whalen) is a super hero wanna-be who joins up with the Super Capers, an odd ball team of aspiring super heroes, to fight crime.

Decent visual effects don't cover up the silliness, but this is intended to be a family show unlike most spoofs produced and I don't think the writer/director Ray Griggs had any sights set on an Oscar for this movie.

Amber and her friend initially reviewed this copy sent to us and I had no problem allowing them to watch it with me not in the room or without having previewed it since it has received The Dove Foundation Family Approved Seal.

Their giggles while viewing it assured me there is still a place for movies geared for kids that don't need to be paused or filtered.

If your family enjoys comedies and goofy humor I recommend this for watching.

Super Capers will be released on July 21st, 2009 and is available for pre-order now. To see a trailer and more about the movie visit www.supercapers.com.

I have been enjoying the Friday Funny that my friend over at The View From My Beach Chair has been posting on her blog, and thought that I should spread some funny too!

It has long been Hubby's claim that I have a problem when I shop. There is no such thing as a quick trip to Target or Walgreens. I somehow get bogged down at every aisle and end cap.

It has long been my claim that it is a genetic disposition to those that have XX chromosomes though, and the following funny proves it.


Join the fun at Homesteaders Heart!

Our church has two Sunday morning services, one at 8:00 and one at 10:45. We alternate between the two, depending what our day has in store for us. The Sunday School hour is between the two, and we always attend that. I serve in the church nursery that hour every week.

Last Saturday evening, we stayed up late. Too late. We also stayed up far too late on Friday also. As I was going to bed (too late), I set my alarm for 8:00 am, plenty of time to get ready for 9:30 Sunday School. Or so I thought.

Genius comes into my room Sunday morning at 9:39 am saying "Mom, were we going to church this morning?" YIKES!!!

This incredibly responsible and reliable 12 year old, got up, dressed, made herself breakfast, and then decided to find out why I was still asleep. I guess I still have some work to do on her, lol! I asked her why she didn't wake me first. Her response,"I thought I'd be nice, and let you sleep a bit longer". What a sweet idea ...any other morning.

When I came home from church, I checked out my alarm. Seems I set it for 8:00 pm...sigh.
