Carrying the SlingFire

Back when I was at Toy Fair I got to spend some time with the great Nerf toys. My favorite one of the bunch was the Zombie Strike SlingFire. When we were planning Eva’s Birthday Party I asked if I could get a few Nerf items to make the party extra special. We received the SlingFire and the Nerf Rebelle Rapid Red. Opinions of the toys are 100% my own.

The SlingFire is an excellent Nerf dart blaster. It looks great and has some fun features. My favorite feature is the way you can quickly load it. You can flick the blaster forward and back for one handed loading. I immediately thought of the movie Terminator 2 where the T-800 (Ahnold) is riding the Harley along the streets of LA and then spots John Conner. He’s riding along and there are locked chain link gates. The T-800 loads his shotgun in the most incredible way and blasts the locks off the gates.

Andrew’s Sugar Rush Cake


Photo-A-Day #3504

We celebrated Andrew’s birthday with friends today. We had our friends Holly and her kids come over for pizza and cake. Allison made an amazing cake with the theme of Sugar Rush or rather Wreck-It Ralph. She made a double-decker yellow cake with gummy worms, M&Ms, jelly beans and gumdrops. The cake was great.

We had a really nice time with the kids. They played well together and enjoyed the meal. Andrew received a very nice Fireman’s costume and a giant fire truck puzzle. It was about 4 feet long and perfect for Andrew and his love of puzzles.

Andrew also received some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Half-shell Heroes toys. These are some cute toys for younger kids. I wrote a review of those toys over on Cooper & Kid.
