The hottest toy on the planet...or at least our house


We just love to have fun. Spent Black Friday morning creating this year's hottest toy on the planet. Using Lego's,happy meal build a bears and beanies babies and a britax train set. The princess constructed a New York City themed play set complete with a of monkey a top of a building. This is another one of a kind creation that will be on display at my home throughout the holiday season or until the princess decides to change it. Enjoy. Going to set up the Lego Advent calendar then do some Cyber Monday shopping.

The hottest toy on the planet will be here in two days


Last year the princess received several fashion dolls for her birthday. A few days before Christmas she started asking about the Nativity. We wound up posing the dolls in a similar scene. The photo traveled around the globe thanks to the wonder of e-mail. I was recently contacted and asked what was I planning for this years' hottest toy on the planet. It is in the works an will be revealed shortly. In the meantime enjoy what we did last year once again.

Taking the bus and more

I know, I know you've all been waiting patiently for this installment. The princess changed schools a few weeks ago,the first week,especially the first day was unforgettable. I dropped her off in the morning; she was to return by bus for the very first time, but things went awry(surprised?).

I waited at the stop with the other parents,the bus arrived, the driver appeared rather distraught and asked was I waiting for the princess. Seems she was discovered on another bus once the run was over. Bus driver 1 radioed bus driver 2 informing the driver that I was at the stop waiting,driver number 2 was going to bring her to me.

Okay,I'm cool, she wasn't inadvertently left in the bus yard or anything. She arrived a few minutes later,her usual zippy self. I called the school to let them know everything was fine. We go home...end of the story, well not exactly.

She mentioned that she saw the sibling of a dance class member on the bus. I ran into the parent a few days later, the parent mentioned her child mentioning that the princess was on the bus but the parent dismissed this as (she didn't know we'd moved). I ask the princess about the bus encounter again,she managed to put herself on the wrong bus that day;seems she was talking to sibling of the dance class member. That's my girl.

Two other noteworthy things happened that week she got invited to a birthday party and attended a class Halloween party that had been postponed the week before. Oh to be 5 again.

In case you were wondering...

As some of you are aware we moved recently. That's why there have been very few posts of late. Now that we're settled and back to our normal craziness look forward to more posts. Highlights of the past few weeks including the first day at a new school/riding the bus and more. Stop back tomorrow.
