Giant Happy Meals

Andy had a half day today so after I picked them up from school we went to Target to do some Christmas Shopping for Allison and Eva. We did pretty good finding some very nice things for them. I even picked up a few things and got my shopping done. I’m going to take Eva to do the same thing next week.

while we were out we also had lunch at McDonald’s. There is a new promotion happening with Adult sized Happy Meals. Great idea for that nostalgia factor but they went and collaborated with some DJ and turned their McNugget buddies into characters associated with this dj instead of the old Mcnugget buddy figures that I think most people would have preferred. I know that I would. I tend to like many things and give so many things a chance. This I was not that thrilled about. I’m not enjoying these collaborations.

Soundwave

One collaboration that I do like, however, is that between G.I. JOE and Transformers. Hasbro took the character of Soundwave and reimagined him as the Dreadnok’s Thunder Machine. This set finally arrived and I was thrilled to get it. I’m loving how Hasbro has made these collaborations. Of all the ones that I’ve purchased, this one is the best. It just fits perfectly and they even paired the figure with two G.I. Joe Dreadnoks characters Zartan and Zarana. Even going so far as to put them onto cards was a great touch.

Christmas Cookies

At this time of year Allison receives all sorts of gifts and treats from the kids at her school. The parents have been very generous over the years. Today she came home with a big box of cookies from Hatchville Baking Company. They can be found in Mashpee Commons. Twelve individually wrapped tasty treats. I had a sugar cookie and it was very good. Looking forward to sharing in whatever other fun treats are coming this way in the coming week.
