Buying toys online made easier with Ebeanstalk
Buying toys online can be scary and intimidating since you never know quite what you are going to get. You might wonder, will the toy be fun to play with? What is the quality like? Ebeanstalk wants to make sure their customers are 100% satisfied with all of their toys. Their website is so easy to navigate when shopping for toys. You can shop according to a specific age, gender, category or brand. I am impressed with just how many brands they carry including one of my favorites, Melissa and Doug.
They have moms like me test out their toys to make sure they have the safest baby toys and the most popular kids toys around. They are always looking for more opinions, so head on over to Ebeanstalk and let them know what you think the best learning toys are!
Yo Gabba Gabba! Live- There's a Party in my City!
Although Chardie and Brie are 16 & 14 they were so excited to be there to see the show. The music was amazing and we were all jammin' to our favorite songs. William was immediately drawn to all the sights and sounds. Dwayne and I were concerned about how William would do since he tends to get a bit overwhelmed with very loud music and large crowds. He showed us what a big boy he was. We were all so happy with how much he enjoyed the show!
If you took a good look around the audience there were so many smiles and such a sense of family and happiness all around. DJ Lance Rock and the Gabba crew were so entertaining and really made the audience a big part of the show with all of the interaction. Even when they did the intermission there was no time to get restless, they kept the music going and the balloon drop was a HUGE hit! At least the little ones has something to keep them busy while you waiting for the show to continue.
Now the best part that Dwayne and I especially loved was when Biz Markie came out to do Biz's beat of the day. I had to warn Dwayne when Biz asked who wanted to come up to spit a beat with him that he could not go up there. He was sad. No really, he was so sad. He wanted to go onstage.
It is unanimous when I say that this was the best show we have ever seen! The girls even said that they would have missed other social functions to see that show again! Now when you hear that from teenagers then you know it was amazing!! I think if you are a Yo Gabba Gabba! fan then you should really check it out for yourself if they come to your city. We left with happy hearts. Little William is still singing the "Good-bye" song days later :)

The Man Room
So the Man Room project was to replace the old carpet with new flooring and we opted to go the frugal way by doing the work ourselves. We went with a higher end vinyl tile (self-sticking) since the base of the floor is concrete. Dwayne let William help with the rolling of the first few tiles. Don't laugh at the rolling pin, I did say we were doing things frugally!
When the boy started doing wild things like this it was time to send him upstairs to his sisters. Things started to get rather sticky (literally) It took us about 7 hours since we had to cut all the detailed edges and corners. Those were the moments I wanted to jump out the window. I could not wait to be DONE!
We were both is so much pain we could not believe it. Your boy Dwayne behaved like the usual fool and I did have to say a few (dozen) choice words. Let's just say he likes to try some really dumb things instead of doing it the proper way and I have to get on him. Thankfully we made it through and it came out really beautiful~ besides his wall art. His favorite stuffed bass. People always ask him if he caught it. He tells them "Sho nuff, caught it at an estate sale!".
I am kind of jealous now. I think this color is so nice with his custard colored walls.
Now we are thinking about the next project.... Who knows what the next Shelly & Dwayne adventure will be!
