**** I have never heard of Monster High until a few months ago. LOL! So this is our first official Monster High doll in the house. When I first opened the doll her arm came off and I started panicking, I thought I broke it. Soon after I realized it was meant to do that. I did notice that a few parts were missing, the bottom of the stand for the doll was missing. Of course to my kids that did not really matter because they will be playing with her all day long. My girls love this doll!

I was recently invited to a screening of the new movie The Muppets, that hits theaters on Nov. 23rd.
First, let me say I love being able to screen the movie beforehand, but it can be a hassle. seats usually get taken up fast and there are a lot of people upset when they don’t get seats.
Before the movie started they had a short film “Toy Story Small Fry.” I love the Toy Story movies and this one did not disappoint at all. Bonnie and her mother go to a fast food joint and they have Buzz lightyear toys in the kid’s meal. Well when small Buzz who is in the display case realizes he will never get played with he switches places with Buzz Lightyear (Bonnie brought him). it’s hilarious, Buzz finds a support group for lost and abandoned kid meal toys.
Now to the Muppets, It’s been so long since I have seen the Muppets on TV that a lot of the movie seemed very new to me. When Walter stumbles upon news that the Muppet theatre is going to be torn down, he tries to reunite the Muppets. Just finding where they all are at now, was funny. Most of them never made it in show biz. Only two Muppets were really successful Gonzo who owns a plumbing biz and Miss Piggy who is a fashion editor in Paris. Now I don’t want to give away to much of the movie, because it is a definite must see even for Adults. There is a lot of adult humor in this movie, but still appropriate for kids. I was really surprised at how many celebrities are actually in this movie. Just from what I can think of Whoopi Goldberg, Selena Gomez, Jack black, Zack Galifianakis, Emily Blunt and so much more.
My kids absolutely loved the movie, they laughed through most of the movie. My kids are young and have never seen a Muppet movie, so I am happy that they were able to see some of my favorite characters from when I was a kid. One thing I was a little disappointed about was that Kermit and Miss Piggy were broken up. I don’t know if that was just part of the plot in this movie, or if that happened a long time ago. The story they have in this movie is, Miss Piggy got fed up when Kermit wouldn’t marry her, so she left. IN the ned it all works out though of course. I am definitely going to have to go see this movie again, because there are a lot of things I didn’t catch (according to my husband). One of my favorite parts though, I would have to say is the Muppet of a Man song. You have to see it!
As a family that loves Science, we loved this advertisement before the movie.

Bring Mario Kart Wii to life! Build Mario and Luigi from the Starting Line of the Bowser’s Castle Track. The set includes the parts to build Mario and Luigi, 2 Sprinter Karts with super-fast battery-powered motors, a sound module with the starting sounds from the game and 2 collectible items from the game: a Mushroom and a Stal! Also includes 16 pieces of buildable, interconnectable track that creates a closed loop- combine this set with other sets from the Mario Kart Wii Series to build even bigger tracks!
***** We received this set and my kids were just thrilled, so I put it together for them. I have to admit that it took 4 hrs to put this playlet together, well I had kids running around that was the main reason. I finally got it put together, and the kids just had so much fun. The race cars are motorized and run on batteries, and you can smash them with big rocks just like on Mario Kart. The one problem we had was the track fell apart very easily, the track and K’Nex pieces. The other problem was the batteries die really fast in the cars.

Go back in time with these real wood building logs and create a frontier fort! These familiar notched logs and accessories are made to fit together, allowing kids to build any kind of structure they can imagine.
****I have never played with Lincoln Logs until I received this set. Honestly I thought they were going to be like regular K’Nex and stick together when attached. These do not attach at all, and fall apart very easily. My 6 year old daughter gets very frustrated at how easily these just fall apart. I listened every 5 minutes for ahhh darn it. Finally I stepped in and put it together. I have to say that it is a little difficult to put together, since it doesn’t stick. I finally got it put together right and the kids went to play, and of course it fell immediately. So my son has been using these to build log cars.

Holiday ornaments from the Kurt Adler Collection for your favorite Nickelodeon shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Ni-Hao, Kai-lan, and iCarly. Ornaments come ready-to-hang with a gold cord.
**** My kids love Nickelodeon and asked if they could decorate the tree with all there toys. I suggested that maybe we could find ornaments that resemble their toys. When I came across Dora, Kai-Lan, SpongeBob and more. My tree isn’t up yet, but the kids are already excited about putting these on the tree.
The Dora ornaments are flat and really small, while the kai-lan ornaments are small, but are to flat at all. They fit the character descriptions perfectly. The SpongeBob ornament is really big and perfect play size. The only downside to having these is my kids won’t ever leave them on the tree, they can’t stop playing with them.

Okay the Chevy Voting contest I was in went horrible for me as I was in last place. I just don’t get it, I have over 1000 friends (mainly blog friends)on Facebook and nothing. Anyway I have entered another, This time it is my daughters picture in the Ideeli’s Next Top Mini model. It’s a great opportunity and I would appreciate your help and vote.
Will it be SpongeBob’s Sponge Cake and Fruit Shakes orSquidward’s Fancy Fondue? Sandy’s Karate Chop Suey or Mr. Krabs’ Million-Dollar Mac and Cheese? In SpongeBob’s Kitchen Mission Cookbook,the whole family can join the ultimate culinary showdown! With more than 50 kid-friendly recipes, this easy-to-use book has dishes perfect for breakfasts, beverages, snacks, dinners, and desserts. So all hands on deck . . . and let the battle begin!
****This cookbook has fun and easy recipes for kids. My kids want to try all the recipes in the book, they also think the names are hilarious. So we decided to start out with Patricks Pasta salad. The recipe is mainly made up of penne pasta, cucumbers, olive oil, grape tomatoes, Chicken and feta cheese. We made ours without chicken and feta cheese.
It was good but a bit plain. The book has so many more recipes though, like faces cupcakes, Sandy’s intergalactic fruit basket, Gary’s Speedy spirals, and so much more.

Lily Blossom is known for being graceful when she flies, but she is just as elegant on all four hooves! Good friends always stick together – just like your LILY BLOSSOM pony figure and her adorable swan figure. Attach the wagon to your pony figure to pull and her little friend can ride in it everywhere they go! Keep your LILY BLOSSOM figure’s pretty yellow hair smooth with the brush, so she looks great no matter where her adventures take her. Pony figure comes with comb, swan figure and wagon.
****My daughter loves My Little Pony, her collection is piling up! Lily Blossom is a newer pony to us and my daughter just loves that she is purple with Yellow hair. You can put her carrier on and she walks her pet swan. This would make a great gift for any girl and for under $5 it is a great bargain.
Star racecar Lightning McQueen and the incomparable tow truck Mater take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2” when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell. Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.
Special Features:
Cars Toon: Air mater
Toy Story Toon: Hawaiian Vacation
Director John Lasser Commentary
****My son is a big fan of Cars, any kind of car actually. So we have been anticipating the release of Cars 2 on dvd, since we missed it in the theaters. The minute my son saw the movie he screamed with excitement.
This movie is really packed full of action and thrills. The first movie was all about Lightning McQueen, well this movie seems to be more about Mater. When Lightning gets challenged to a race by italian car Franchesco, he accepts and takes his team including Mater with him around the world. After their first stop in Japan, mater becomes to much of a distraction and embarrassment to Lightning to keep around. Lightning loses the race and ends his friendship with Mater. Meanwhile Mater gets mistaken for a secret agent and see out on a spy mission and ends up saving the day. I don’t want to giveaway the whole movie, so you have to go see it yourself. This is a must have holiday treat for any little Cars lover.
The Toy Story Hawaiian Vacation short, is hilarious. i thought it was very cute and had my kids laughing so hard. Air Mater is of course another one of Maters, tales of imagination that he could fly. They are always funny.
