I am always, always, always on the lookout for the next thing from Skylanders. This week comes with a pre-Toy Fair announcement from Activision about some upcoming variant figures and also some partnerships with companies like General Mills and Crayola.

The snow in our back yard is so high that it is almost covering the kids’ playhouse. A bit of the room is sticking out and part of some of the windows and the door can be seen as well. You can get down into the playhouse as well. I was in there today shoveling out some of it and finding all of the balls that we had in the yard under all that snow. Andrew has decided that rather than play inside the house he will climb up on top of the house and slide down. He gets bolder each time he does it and I think that he’s going to stand up and fall off the thing. Granted he isn’t too far from the ground but he might try this when the snow is quite frozen and hard. That would be a problem.
