I'm very excited about a new opportunity I am just beginning to explore. I am in the process of becoming a Representative for Demarle at Home. They are the makers of Silpat, but they make much much more! What is great is you can choose how much you want to work. This is just going to be a side job for me as I love love l
ove my "normal" job at W.B.! But I get to present their product at house parties they call a Rendez-Vous. And since I have started this I have been experimenting a lot in the kitchen! Scott & Jesse are not complaining! I put in a picture of a rice crispy wreath I made. Can you believe I didn't have to grease the pan at all! It just fell right out of the mold when I flipped it over! Anywho, there are so many things you can do and I'm a bit addicted. If anyone wants a first had look just let me know. Better yet, if you want to host a Rendez-Vous you can get stuff for free! At our Rendez-Vous we ended up ordering well over $200 in free products! My kitchen is very very happy! Well, now that I have shared my over enthusiasm with everyone, I'm going to go put Brennan to bed!
So I need to get a little peeve off my chest. It is completely random & not at all what I normally write about on this blog. Anywho, I was watching the Brandon Heath music video for "Give Me Your Eyes" - a song which I love! Good video. Well, on youtube (which is where I was watching it) there is the area below where people can write comments. I'm not a big public comment reader or writer but this one caught my eye. It was basically a short rant about how it is a great and meaningful song but the video sucks for one reason...
There is only one person of color in the video, the rest are spoiled upper middle class white people. They went on about they don't care about these people with their cell phones and ipods in an airport terminal. Why don't they make a video about something that mattered.
I got annoyed! Okay, hear me out. I think that the worst thing you can do is judge someone by the color of their skin! Trust me, I am very far from racist! The comment struck a nerve because in getting annoyed at all the "white people" they were in fact judging for color. Here is my beef. Don't descriminate due to color, class, speech, etc. It doesn't matter whether it is a minority or a majority. People are people, treat them as such! It doesn't matter whether they own an ipod and travel for pleasure or if they only have an AM radio and have never left their city limits. I am in a majority. My parents are both caucasion, I live in a suburb & I like meatloaf. This does not mean that I matter any less. Anywho, that is my little rant. I don't mean to offend anyone.
Here is the link if you want to watch the video:

Brennan experienced his 1st Halloween Friday night. I can't say it was a momentous occasion. We didn't trick or treat (he can't have candy!) and he was in bed by 8:30pm. Woo hoo! Late Night! We did dress him up in a pumkin sleeper and painted his cheeks and nose. After a round of pictures we went to see G.G. & Auntie Joey. I guess you could call it trick or treating - he did get treats (clothing, socks, & a singing dog!). That was the extent of our evening. We went home and helped Nana hand out candy. Brennan loves the front door, at least when it is open & it was open a lot!
mas plus some more of Brennan who is now 10 monthes old! Wow time flies! This photo session wasn't as outstanding as previous for several reasons. First they only had one photographer working with us, before they have 
always had two. This would have been fine except Brennan is decidedly more mobile than before. He was crawling everywhere but where we wanted him. So halfway through he just got plain frustrated with the entire situation and spent the later half of the appointment dissolved into tears. My poor sweet little boy - he needed his nap a little early that day. Still the majority of the pictures turned out cute. I am only putting a couple on here right now - we are mailing out our main family picture to family with our Christmas cards and I don't want to spoil the reveal.
