Opening Mystery Blind Bag Emojiez Series 1 Plushiez, Buddiez and Squishiez

The Kids love emojiez

We received a bunch of Emojiez toys from Fun 2 Play Toys for free in exchange for an honest review. Opinions are 100% our own.

The kids help me open, unbox and review a bunch of blind bag Emojiez, Buddiez and Squishiez. The kids loved opening these but all Andrew wanted was Smelvin, the Poop Emojiez character. Emojiez are character that are fun to collect, trade and each tell their own story. Based on your favorite existing emoji’s, the Emojiez characters play on the digital emoji trend, bringing these beloved characters to life.

These are some cute little figures. The price point for the Buddiez is very low, only $1 each and a 3pack for $1.99. That is a great point for an impulse buy at the register. The figures are well done, too. They look nice and have a little trading card that tells you their name and story. The kids also liked the Plushiez figures and Andrew gave Allison the “Money Tongue” one, which was actually vomit. His heart was in the right place. You can see what else they thought of the figures in the video below.

The Emojiez line is made up of 12 characters with unique personalities that include Romeo, the hopeless romantic, Knuckle, the champion fighter, Donny who loves to live large and Smelvin, who stinks but is lovable nonetheless. Emojiez will be available as clolectible plus and vinyl characters known as “Plushiez” and “Buddiez” along with crafts and accessory sets to come out in 2017, building on the excitement of Emojiez.

Family, Photo-A-Day

Raising a Scientist takes a Village

Eva and her mentor - Auntie Tara
Photo-A-Day #4137

Today was Eva’s Open House at the Children’s School of Science in Woods Hole. This is Eva’s second year in the program. Last year she did Seashore Life and this year she was part of Animal Behavior. Eva had a great time these past three weeks. Doing Science School in the middle of the day, enjoying afternoons at the beach and going on Cape Cod adventures. Eva is with her Auntie Tara. Tara is her mentor and hero. They have a very special bond together and Eva is so excited to spend time with her whenever she can. We are deeply indebted and grateful to Tara and Erik for Science School and Eva’s love of Science. This love is constantly cultivated within the family and we can see how Eva is growing in her knowledge and enjoyment of Science.

The kids in the car

I hope that Andrew will follow along in Eva’s footsteps and those of Tara, Shelby and I. We all went to Science School and being there today brought back many fond memories. I was in the photography class and today got to hit the Dark Room and that was some place that I spent a lot of time in.

Also while there I decided that I would try and do some sort of Annual Photo of the kids at the Science School. I should have done it last year but didn’t get the chance. There is this cute piece of playground equipment that looks like a jeep. I figure that it may be around for a little while and I’d get the two kids in that jeep every year to see how they grow and change.

We were actually in Woods Whole twice today. We went to pick up Eva because Tara had to prepare for the Open House, because she is one of the teachers – she does Microbiology. When we picked up Eva we went to Coffee Obsession, or rather Coffee O. We got some drinks and some cookies to share. It was a nice treat. Then we went to the aquarium and Eva was over the top excited about the aquarium. She was watching every fish, pointing them out and identifying them. I was videoing the fish to make a video set to music later. We’ll see if that works out or not.

Our visit was a short one because of parking and the like, I also had to get home to write up my post about our epic 500 balloon, Bunch O Balloons Water Balloons fight. You can see that and our daily vlog on this post 500 Balloon Water Balloon Fight with Bunch O Balloons
