Kari's 1.5 Seconds of Fame and Walmart

We've had to keep a little secret under wraps for the last six weeks until it was approved and finalized.  Kari and Daddy will be appearing in a national back to school commercial for Walmart!

A while back I received a somewhat suspicious email via YouTube.  I initially discounted it, thinking it was just creepy spam.  Eventually curiosity got the best of me and I did a bit of digging and it appeared that the company and the sender of the email were legit.  So, we moved forward.



Kari and Kevin had to sign their lives away but we didn't tell Kari what she was signing (ahh, the joys of being the parent of a minor!), so when we showed her the video for the first time, she immediately burst into tears.  It was not quite the reaction we were expecting, but has become somewhat typical for her when watching videos of family or memorable events.

And now we wait for the commercial to air.  Grandmo has impatiently announced that every other major retailer already has their back to school ads going and Walmart is just wasting time now. :)

We're looking forward to seeing her on TV as this will probably count for her 10 Seconds of Fame in her life time considering it'll be aired across the country.  Hope you get to see it too!
