We celebrated Andrew’s birthday with friends today. We had our friends Holly and her kids come over for pizza and cake. Allison made an amazing cake with the theme of Sugar Rush or rather Wreck-It Ralph. She made a double-decker yellow cake with gummy worms, M&Ms, jelly beans and gumdrops. The cake was great.
We had a really nice time with the kids. They played well together and enjoyed the meal. Andrew received a very nice Fireman’s costume and a giant fire truck puzzle. It was about 4 feet long and perfect for Andrew and his love of puzzles.
Andrew also received some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Half-shell Heroes toys. These are some cute toys for younger kids. I wrote a review of those toys over on Cooper & Kid.

Eva was my toy tester, helper for this review. When I was asked if I wanted to review this I ran it by Eva and she was very excited to build some Barbie MEGA Bloks. Many of the Barbie MEGA Bloks sets are modular and they fit together easily and are interchangeable. All the rooms in the Mansion can be moved around so you can mix things up however you’d like.

What your child builds are the items within each room and then they can take those interiors of the rooms and decide where to place them in the mansion.
