Happy Halloween 2016

Eva and Andrew in their Halloween Costumes

We did something different for our Halloween this year. We went over to our friend’s house and went trick or treating around their neighborhood. It was so busy. That was a far cry from our neighborhood where we get maybe 40 people in the night. The kids had a great time with their friends and came home with huge buckets of candy. It reminded me of Halloween when I was a kid. I’d collect a ton of candy from all over the place. Their neighborhood was such a nice neighborhood. We left a bowl on the porch with a note to just take one. It was empty when we returned. Pretty sure it was hit the moment we got into the house. Glad we only put out half of what we had.

Andrew was excited about Halloween all day. He decided to ditch the Iron Man costume for the Skylanders Wallop Costume that we received to review. He really liked that costume. Eva, of course, is all about Harry Potter and loves her Hermione costume so much. She has been talking non stop about it and was delighted with each person who recognized her as Hermione. They both thought that my costume was a riot. I combined my Sriracha Bottle Costume with my Optimus Prime Helmet and went as “Srirachamus Prime”. Observe.

I am Srirachamis Prime. #Halloween #Transformers

Andrew and I played Skylanders after school today. We played with the Sensei Candy Coated Chopscotch as well as standard Chopscotch and we made an Undead Imaginator with a Creation Crystal. The standard Chopscotch and the Undead Creation Crystal were given to me by Activision. I bought Candy Coated Chopscotch myself on release day. Here is my video about those toys.

Skylanders Imaginators Launch Day Hunt

Skylanders Imaginators Hunting

This morning when I came home from work I went in search of Skylanders Imaginators figures at Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, Gamestop and Best Buy. I only made it to three places because two open at 11am and I needed to get to sleep. Pretty much the only thing I didn’t do with Skylanders Imaginators today was play the actual game. I had to sleep for work but ended up having to take a sick day because I was not feeling well.

While on the hunt I had some decent luck, but not great luck. If I had had great luck then I would have found one of those crystal Master Starcast Sensei figures. Target had a good deal with their Cartwheel app with %20 off Skylanders Imaginators Sensei figures and also off the Creation Crystals. Toys R Us had some of the imaginite chests for 2 for $10 instead of $5.99. They also had Legendary Tri-Tip and Candy Coated Chopscotch. I picked up both and 4 blind bag imaginite chests.
