Every album they have put out I have loved! Great thing is that my children can listen along too.If you are not familiar with them you should check them out.They kinda have a retro sound to them which I love .They also have that sound that when you hear their song you know it is The Killers!Their most popular songs are Mr. Brightside , All these things that I've done or at least those are our favorites!Albums they have put out are Hot Fuss,Sam's Town,and Sawdust. —...

It is a waffle cone with chocolate at the bottom then filled with vanilla ice cream then topped with more chocolate and nuts! They have now came out with others but that one is the one we always buy.They come in a 4 pack which is awesome because there is 4 of us :)! Even their site is fun!!! —...

These die cast trains are the best things you can buy.I bought my son his first die cast Thomas about 3 years ago and from then on we buy them like crazy! I would say he has about 50 and he still doesn't have them all.They range from $4.99 to $14.99 really depending on where you buy them. The single engines like Thomas and Percy run the cheapest and Train with tenders like Emily and James run around $6.99.They have the breakdown trains,coal cars,oil cars anything you have see on Thomas and friends comes in a die cast at one time or another.They seem to be very durable since we still have the same Thomas we bought 3 years ago and it has been through the ringer.I have learned recently that the trains seem to retire but can be purchased through a train magazine that you can request online.They also sell the tracks that the die cast trains can "puff" down the track on.These trains have my son...

It is a great way to get some chocolate in without feeling guilty and it taste great! I don't eat it  for breakfast but for a lil afternoon snack. I eat a cup of the Special K Chocolately Delight cereal with a little milk and it seems to tie me over till dinner which is good b/c I am a really bad snacker!!! The only thing I hate is that all the chocolate pieces sink so you have to kinda fish for them but it is worth...

It should come with 2 c batteries but you might check it at the store I had to play with 3 to find one that didn't have dead betteries! —...

I have watched American Idol since season 1 and I will keep watching until it isn't on anymore and I can not imagine American Idol never being on.It is the one thing I look forward to after Christmas b/c I know it starts in January.If you are not familiar with it there are 3 judges Simon Cowell who always speaks his mind no matter what it is,Paula Abdul the "nice" judge but always rambles on,And Randy Jackson who is an in between of the other 2.You watch auditions at the beginning to see who goes to Hollywood so you see the best and the worst of singers.Then on to Hollywood week where they figure out your top 24 .Then you get to your final 12 then final 2 and then your Next American Idol is crowned and the best thing is you helped pick it!It is awesome when you get to start voting and when you get to your final 6 they open 2 lines for each contestant. The awesome thing is that every week a song theme is chosen and they...

I already think that their return policy blows and to add hateful people if awful.I received a gift for Christmas It was a pair of jeans that were $22.99.I did not have a gift receipt b/c I didn't see one in the box.I went to return them due to them being the wrong size and they wouldn't let me do it at all.Without a receipt and it was over a certain price they wouldn't even touch it.Not only was I upset that I couldn't exchange it for the same thing the lady was rude.I absolutely love target and shop there all the time.I just don't buy anything unless I know for sure it is a keeper. —...

It ranges from $2.50 depends on which store you purchase it from.The bottles are very cute and kid friendly so they like to pick it out themselves.I love that it is 2 in 1 shampoo and it is detangler and tear...

I would love to sit here and bash this game I can't.For starters it cost about $60 give or take and now you can download 4 new maps from the playstation store for $9.99.My husband only plays online so I don't know much about the game but I know all about multiplayer/online game.If you have a headset you can chat with other players that are on your team.There are 4 teams and the same 2 always play against each other.S.A.S and Spetnaz is one and Marines and Op For is another.There are also different ways to play online there is domination where you have to capture all 3 flags from the other team and every time you die you respawn.Search and destroy is where you have to plant a bomb at one of the targets and defend it from the other team so they don't defuse on this one you do not respawn.Team Deathmatch I believe is...

The food was great and for the price you get allot.The kids meals are pretty good also your child get's choice of sandwich fries or veggies sticks a drink and a little ice cream cone.One thing I found that I loved is that you can get a small vanilla cone for 10 cents or dipped in chocolate for 25 cents.They are a perfect size for when you are done eating to have a Sweet treat! They also have a variety of sauces to choose from including hot au jus sauce.The staff is awesome they check on you while you are eating and see if you need anything else.Tonight's visit they asked just a little too much...

Last time he bought me a perfume it was awful so I was kinda scared.Anyways I decided to wear it on Christmas day to be nice and I was totally surprised! The smell was fantastic and it is the only perfume I wear now.It has a light very girly scent and it doesn't give me a headache like allot of perfumes have done in the past.The bottle is super cute and the price isn't too bad. —...

I always have go-gurt on hand.Yogurt is healthy snack and putting it in a tube makes it fun for the kids to eat.Go-gurt comes in many flavors and is simple to eat.You rip the top off and squeeze in your mouth.It is really a non messy snack b/c you throw it away after you have eaten all the yogurt.No need for a spoon so 1 less dish to clean!! I like the quizzes they put on the tubes and they only way to get the answer is to eat the yogurt and once it is gone there is a clear box with the answer.It is pretty inexpensive and an easy way to get children to eat something healthy. —...

I don't know how many times I have wasted green beans from trying to drain them.This is a simple cheap tool you just pop on top of your can and strain.It has little handles on the side and I have yet found a can it wouldn't fit on.I don't like to leave the lid on the can to drain b/c it is so hard to get it back out and I have cut myself on the lid before but with this you only touch the lid to take it off the can opener and put it in the trash.All I can say is that I love...

It peels,slices and cores your apple all at once! The best thing is that it is simple to use.You push the end of an apple on to the 3 prongs and start turning the handle.Voila you have a sliced,cored peeled apple.The core is left on the prongs and the peel is off to the side kinda messy but so worth it.Your apple comes off as a spiral.You flatten the spiral and put 2 slits in it and you have your slices.The negative about it is that you have to purchase the wood block separately that you screw the slicer on but I use my kitchen table and it works perfectly.The only other thing is that the host said it could peel a potato but I have not tried...

I was skeptical to buy it b/c I wasn't sure if it would work like it said it would. — I love that it is small and fits in your hand.It now comes in 3 colors so if your just not the pink type of girl you can get blue or green.It comes with 14 pads,the power cleanser and 1 AA battery.I was thrilled to see it came with the battery most products that require a battery don't come with the battery causing you to have to purchase batteries.The vibrating motion seems to do deep down cleaning and let's face it, it feels fantastic! After my first use my skin did seem to feel softer.The main thing I wasn't to thrilled with was that the pads come in 2 packs and the packs are not resealable.The pad are moist and unless you have  something to put the others in they will dry out causing you to buy more pads.It seemed to take a minute for the pads to suds up and start to go but once your washing your face it is so worth it.I'm...

I love how friendly everyone is there and how well they are with children. I think that it is fantastic how the child can pick the skin of the bear or any animal you want.I do think that is awesome b/c if you don't want a bear you do not have to have a bear you can get a dog,cat,monkey or whatever else they have.Once the child or adult ;) pick out the skin you go over to a machine that has stuffing for the animal  going around and around you get to pick a heart and love it they put it in the animal fill it up with stuffing and stitch em up.Then you can wash them in an "air" bath,then pick out clothes and sit down at a computer to name you animal.The one thing that I really love about build a bear that in your bear they stick a tag in there so if you bear gets lost and somebody finds him they can return it to build a bear.An employee will unstich him and scan the tag inside and find your address and number.All in all it is a great...

I am not to familiar with his work but I couldn't believe how well he played a drug addict it makes you wonder if he really is one????? Anyways the movie is about a woman who is not to fond of her husband's druggie friend.But when her husband dies she seems the need to help his friend.I will leave it at that b/c you should see the movie.The only thing I didn't like about this movie is that it seemed to bounce around allot so I was like whoa what is going on.I was happy to see David Duchovny all though he was in the movie for a short while. —...
