Where’s Walrus Book Review

- brandy3 2 Comments

Description: Bored with life at the zoo, an adventurous walrus escapes to the outside world. With the zoo keeper in hot pursuit, Walrus cleverly tries on all sorts of hats to disguise himself.  Will a yellow hard hat point to a new life as a construction worker? or will a red swimming cap reveal his true talents? Follow this happy-go-lucky runaway as he hides amongst firefighters, businessman and even high step dancers in this wordless picture book.

***** I was kindof discouraged when I received this book, because I thought it was like a where’s Waldo book. My kids all seem to enjoy it though, and after watching them read it I realized that this book really does help with picture recognition. I woold say that this book would be better for ages 1-5. There are no words, and there are very few pictures that it makes it so easy to find Walrus.

Retail:16.99 but you can find on Amazon.com for $11.32

Release date: February 1, 2011

My rating:6

Building A Maze Through All This Snow

- brandy3 2 Comments

So here in Long island we have had a total of about 8 storms, maybe more. Our most recent was an ice storm, and let me tell you it was not fun falling on my butt three times taking out the trash.  Most of the ice has melted, but we still have piles of snow lying around that are anywhere from 3ft to 6 ft.  

My kids have a friend that lives next door, and always go through the backyard to visit (we share a yard). well every time my kids went to play they would come in and there clothes would be soaked from walking through the deep snow. So we came up with the idea to make a maze connecting everyone’s house, so we didn’t have to walk through deep snow.

here is the walkway from the front to the back yard.

Here is the walkway from the neighbors to our house.

then the walkway connecting to our house, which we have our bikes on right now.

I still have a couple more walkways to make, but the kids love it and call it their little maze. We are expecting a few more days of snow in our 10 day forecast, so hopefully all this work I did wasn’t for nothing.

Dinosaur Train Striped Footed Pajamas

- brandy3 4 Comments

Dinosaur Train style never goes extinct. The dinosaur characters and striped pattern on these footed pajamas offer timeless touches.

***This pajamas are so cute and comfy, well according to my son and daughter. They were a little big for my son, so my daughter begged to try them on. The only thing my kids complained about was that they couldn’t breath in them.(not literally) it’s a one piece and kip up, so they get hot really fast when the heat is running or they are under the covers. The only solution is to zip it all the down compared to airing out just your shirt.

Retail: $26.00 at Kohls
