Has your summer been simply blowing by?  While summer should grant us with tons of opportunities to hang out, be lazy, enjoy family and spend quality time with the kids, somehow the sheer fact that we have kids prevents that from happening!

Swim lessons during the week, swim meets during the weekend.  Y workout (the kids have a summer program there that they love so it works out great), park program in the afternoon.  Hip hop class one night a week, gymnastics one morning a week.  There simply isn't any time to do anything!

We literally scheduled our summer trip to see grammy only a few days before we actually left.  I have two part time jobs with flexible schedules but seriously, it's just crazy.  I'm not sure how parents with full-time jobs manage to find any time with their families!

So with our crazy schedule, it's tough to find time to really do much.  Hitting a movie is always a winner but when that can't happen, we pop up a bowl of popcorn and cozy up on the couch as a family.  We love family animated films because - although focused for kids - are still entertaining for parents.

Kung Fu Panda is a perfect example of that.  I've watched it a few times and still enjoy it.  And thanks to a promotion from MyBlogSpark, I have my very own copy to continue to enjoy as many times as I want!

They shipped me a prize pack that included Kung Fu Panda, Golden Grahams and the toy from the Golden Grahams box.  What a total hit of a package!  For reference, Golden Grahams don't last long around this house... they're one of those cereals that my husband and I both enjoy as much (if not more) than the kids do!  I'm perfectly happy sitting and eating it by the handful.  (Don't judge! You know you do it too!)

They've also given me an extra pack to give away.  Here's the deal though... this is a fast contest.  It will be open for ONLY ONE DAY!  Here are the details:

The Prize: Kung Fu Panda prize pack (includes one box of a participating Big G cereal, a Kung Fu Panda 2 spin fighter toy and the original Kung Fu Panda movie)

Participants -
...must provide a US shipping address
...must provide an email in the first comment, email me directly with an email address or have email accessible from their profile.

Sometime on July 12, 2011, a winner will be chosen at random from all valid comments left. Winner has 12 hours from posting/notification to respond. If winner cannot be contacted, I will move on to the next random selection.
