Falling in the Leaves


Photo-A-Day #3122

Andrew loves the leaves. We have a big pile in the back yard. I need to rake them up soon. Each day Andrew wants to play out back there and jump in the leaves. He gets a huge kick out of it.

We pulled out one of Eva’s old toys from the garage today. It is a Fisher-Price toy that looks like a house on one side and the inside of a house on the other side. It has all sorts of sounds and shapes and things to do on this toy. Andrew loves it. He played with it for a while outside and then we brought it into the house for him and he continued to play with it for a long time. I like that he enjoys playing with these toys, glad they get a second life. And of course when Eva came home she was all about playing with it again. Andrew wasn’t having it though. He was not happy that she kept playing with it.

MEGA Bloks Skylanders SwapForce Stump Smash Series 3 Battle Portal

I received a special package from MEGA Bloks this past week that included five new products. Three of them were from the new MEGA Bloks Skylanders Swap Force line and two from the Skylanders Giants line. The opinions expressed by me are 100% my own.

Hot on the heels of the Series 2 Battle Portals are the Series 3 ones. These are battle portals for Skylanders Swap Force.

We’ve also retained the translucent color on the base of the portal but now the bottoms of the portals are a green translucent instead of the orange. I would have preferred that the portals follow the Swap Force colors and have light blue as the bottom color like the bottoms of the Swap Force characters themselves.
