What I did this Weekend....



Have you heard of Bakugan Brawlers yet ? They are the newest craze where I am living! As a matter of fact, Toys R Us held a " Bakugan Tournament" today! I took the kids... my boys " battled Bakugan's" while I watched & learned and Billy took Maddy around the toy store getting ideas for " little girl's " birthday coming up.
It was pretty fun to watch these boys play this game... and FYI, I think Toys R Us is the place to buy right now... Target & Wal Mart have been out of them for a while.
So, here's the scoop...

The Brawlers are spheres that pop open into mythological-looking warriors when you roll them onto the game cards. Bakugan combines fast-paced fun with eye-popping excitement to redefine the term "action gaming."

THEN, I thought it would be a great idea to check out the new LEGO store that just opened at King of Prussia Mall... BETTER IDEA... Go to the LEGO store when it's NOT Grand Opening day! There was a line about a mile long... seriously ! The store was so small, they could probably only allow a limit of 20 in at a time! CRAZY ! We did not stand in line... we will visit another day !

Tomorrow is Sunday and I hope to take a few good pictures of the kids after church.
If I am successful, I will post them!

I hope you had a great weekend!

what's in your car?


So, for lack of something creative to blog about.... I have had so many ideas... too much creative energy and no spare time to engage it! So, I am posing this question.
What's in your car ? Do you have anything on your rear view mirror, or your rear window, or your bumper... that makes your vehicle uniquely yours ? This is mine... well, the rear view mirror. My cross, and my Yankee Car Jar and if you look really closely you will see a Starbucks sticker on the mirror !

My Guilty Pleasure....


Coffee is far more than a beverage. It is an invitation to life... It's a trumpet wake up call, a gentle rousing hand on your shoulder. Coffee is lingering scent, better than any potpourri. Coffee is an experience, a rite of passage, a good excuse to get together. Nicole Johnson

Coffee is MY guilty pleasure. What's yours ?
Today was a chilly morning. Today I ordered a HOT coffee and enjoyed every last drop of it ! I am usually an iced coffee or blended coffee drinker! But, on cold mornings ( plenty of them in store ) I elect the hot version ! Isn't the coffee huggie the cutest ? A gift from a neighborhood friend & fellow caffeine addict!

Monday Night Football




Eagles are playing Dallas Cowboys tonight... always makes for an interesting game
with TO's antics ! Of course my boys had to wear the jersey to school today ! I found out Jackson's 1st grade year , that a Philadelphia Eagles jersey is a staple item when going back to school shopping! These fans here are die hard... crazy fans!
