Mom, Can I have some friends over?? GIVEAWAY!

I love receiving email from MyBlogSpark especially when it involves CHOCOLATE!!! ♥

I know in our household especially in the summer we have kids (LOTS of kids) in our home and that means we snacks, snacks, and more snacks!

Well, this email asked if I would like to participate which involved going to Sams Club with the $25.00 gift card THEY provided, picking up Pillsbury Brownies (that were ALREADY baked!!) and then they were also sending me a container in which I could store the brownies (if there were any leftover ~ not likely, but oh well) along with 2 tubs of icing and a decorating kit. Sounds like a party to me and an awesome opportunity!

True to MyBlogsparks example I did in fact receive the question "Mom, Can I have some friends over and we watch a movie?" It was 7:45p.m. and that's when I knew this was our perfect opportunity to use the package of Brownies I had JUST picked up at Sams Club.
