I have a review for you today folks.

It's no secret that I love educational games/toys for my kids, and these building blocks are awesome.
 This is the WEDGNETix Magnetic Building Blocks set from ImagAbility Inc.

This kit comes with 16 hard plastic building pieces; 4 green, 4 yellow, 4 blue, and 4 red each color a different size, and made of a hard plastic, as well as an 'idea book'.
 It's not an instruction manual, but it gives a couple of 2D and 3D suggestions for kids to help them get started.
The kit is really designed to encourage children to have a creative learning opportunity by using their own imagination to see how the pieces can connect and rotate around, letting them build whatever they want.
(There is also a 32-piece kit available).

Pregnancy Announcement and some advice

I've got some exciting news to share...

That's right!

We are expecting baby #3!!

(I actually started this post last week...so we are already a week behind...better late than never I guess!)

We are beyond thrilled and our little family can't wait to embark on this journey together.

I actually took the pregnancy test on a Saturday while my husband and oldest son were out running errands. I of course wanted to tell them when they got back, and it seemed like it took them FOREVER to get home!

I showed them the test and we all started jumping, screaming, hugging...it was awesome!

Brobee Birthday Cake Tutorial

Last week we celebrated my baby's 2nd birthday with a Yo Gabba Gabba themed party.

One of his favorite episodes is 'Birthday' where the character Brobee has a birthday party, and they have a Brobee cake.

My son talked about that for almost two weeks, so I knew I wanted to try and create one for him.

 *Before we get started, I just want to say that I am in no-way a professional cake decorator, or claim to be one. My methods might even be completely wrong, I just wanted to share how I was able to create this cake in hopes that someone else could benefit from the information.

PVC Pipe Sprinkler 'Ride-through'

We had an incredibly hot June this year.

Like low 100's every day for almost the whole month!

Needless to say, we needed some ways for the kids to cool down...

I grabbed my stash of random PVC pipe pieces, and after searching Pinterest for a few minutes, came up with a plan.

I saw a picture for this idea but when I clicked the link it didn't take me anywhere.

I decided to just try looking at the picture, and pretty much figure out what I needed to do.

I think the whole think only took about 30 minutes or so to get it done.

We have a plumbing/sprinkler supply store really close to our house, so we made a quick trip over there to find the connector pieces.
