With Easter coming this weekend it is time to start thinking about what to put inside your baskets. In our house we try to limit the overall amount of candy that is put into the kid’s baskets. However, you can’t go having a Easter basket without jelly beans and now Mike and Ike makes some great jelly beans. We received a bunch of these new jelly beans to check out and review. Opinions are our own. There are two flavors of the jelly beans: Assorted Fruit and Tangy Twister. There is also a limited-edition Mike and Ike box called Easter Treats.
Easter baskets also mean fun toys and games for the kids as well. I picked up some Crayola Sidewalk Chalk and some Color Alive coloring books. This way the kids have something to do other than to tear through a ton of candy.
Another thing that I have been doing ever since the kids were small was to hide Hot Wheels cars in eggs for the egg hunt. This year I picked up eight cars and eight large shiny eggs. This way each of the kids get 2 cars each (I’m including our niece and nephew in this as well). I explain more in today’s vlog.
This week is National Bubble Week. I received some bubbles from Little Kids Inc. They make a whole bunch of great stuff. We got a Peanuts Movie Giant Bubble Wand and also a Candylicious Bubbles, Grape flavored bubbles you can eat. These are some really fun toys. We’ll be using the edible bubbles later this week. We took the bubble wand to Capron Park and Andrew had a fantastic time running all over the place trying to pop bubbles. I wore him out today with Play Group, the playground, the zoo and more. He took a pretty decent nap after that.
Today we received a package from our Netflix #StreamTeam contacts which contained an announcement for season 2 of DinoTrux along with a Garby figure. Garby is Andrew’s favorite DinoTrux character, probably because he farts and poops out rocks. I wonder if Garby will have more of a role in this season. I enjoyed the first season and liked the design of the dinosaurs. I look forward to seeing what happens this season, starting Friday.
Hot Wheels have been on my mind lately. I’ve been looking for some specific cars to finish off a collection. Then when I went looking for these I came across a giant container at Stop & Shop. The cars at Stop & Shop are at $0.88 with the Stop & Shop Card. I found a ton of other cars that I like to have as a part of my collection. I am now opening a few of them at a time on the vlog and am showcasing each of them in photos as well.
