~Happy Sunday! We had a pretty low key weekend around here. Sometimes you just need that. We are all recovered from the school carnival Friday night and considered going to the local Tons O’ Trunks event the next day (it’s exactly what it sounds like – a ton of different kinds of trucks gathered in one place), but the weather got so nasty. It rained (poured) most of the day yesterday and pretty much all of today. And the mystery leak we have in our attic came back! Super! LOL. It’s not that bad – just annoying. It doesn’t always leak and no one can ever pinpoint exactly where it’s coming from so it’s quite difficult to get someone to fix it. I’ll get it sorted out though!
~In between raindrops on Saturday we did get to test out our latest “As Seen on TV” item. L loves them all and frankly so do I. We finally ran into the Balloon Bonanza at Target a few days ago and snatched it up. And I have to tell you, it really works. For real. The box comes with 3 sets of balloons. One red, one yellow and one blue. You hook it up right to your hose and just fill them up. The instructions say you are supposed to shake them to release the balloons (they tie automatically) but I found that they ended up falling off when they got too full. My only complaint was that the balloons were tiny. On the other hand they didn’t break as easily as giant water balloons do, so that’s good. But I should still rather have larger ones. Anyway, will I buy it again? For sure! It saves an insane amount of time. It should have taken me ages to individually fill and tie 120 balloons! Oh, it says they are reusable, but I haven’t figured that part out yet.
~Not sure if you saw them yet or not, but we received full spoilers on the Summer 2015 POPSUGAR Must Have Box and we got our first spoiler on the Summer 2015 FabFitFun box!! I linked to both of them so if you click prepare to be spoiled.
~Have you read about that new LEGOLAND hotel in Florida? OMG that is the coolest thing ever. I hear the park isn’t overly amazing, but that hotel certainly looks awesome. I think the boys would freak!
~A few current things: 1. This Essie Gel Setter top coat is awesome. It says you need to use it with the Essie polish, but I really don’t see why that would be true. Anyway I loved how glossy it made my nails and will be putting it over everything from now on. LOL! I just did it yesterday so I don’t know if it will make the polish last longer, but I hope so. 2) Flowers! I am not a fan of the planting process, but they look SO pretty when they are all finished. So pretty! I should have bought this kind for the front yard (and not just the backyard) too, but oh well. 3) Sculpty Sand. This is in the Target One Spot right now and the kids love it. It’s like moon sand – it feels like sand but it’s easily moldable. And unlike what happens with playdough, this looks look all mixed together. 4) Cheeseburger Goldfish. Who thought of this? Eww. I am not a fan but the kids love them. They are Cheddar, Ketchup and Hamburger flavor.
That’s all for now! I am going to try to get caught up on a few things after the kiddos go to bed! Hope you are having a great night!
