Another Saturday, another day to try to find something to do with the kids. It was raining all day so Phillip wasn't going to able to go doorknocking like he usually does on Saturdays so we had to try to figure out something to do all day. I had heard on the radio yesterday that the Toys R US near us was having a grand re-opening and they were celebrating with lots of kids characters, face painting, etc... When I heard that they were going to have Brobee and Plex from Yo Gabba Gabba, I knew we had to go. Cooper is OBSESSED with Yo Gabba Gabba. It's his absolute favorite show and the only thing that can calm him down when he's upset. When he saw Brobee across the room, he completely freaked out, yelling "wow", "Brobee", "hug" and ran down the aisle to go see him. As soon as he got within 10 feet of him though, he completely freaked out. He wouldn't go near him. It was kind of funny. We finally got him to touch him by promising that Daddy would go with him.
His whole body was stiff and he wouldn't calm down, he was totally freaked out. It was cute ; )
His reaction to seeing Plex for the first time
Saying Hi to Plex, still just as freaked out
I have to say that I was not impressed with Barbie AT ALL. She looked like Hooker Prom Barbie. Totally weird and Addison didn't really like her either.
My little Captain America children
Addison LOVES getting her face painted. Whenever we get the chance, she doesn't mind waiting in however long a line just to get it painted. I love it!
She had no idea who Captain America was but she thought he looked cool so she just had to meet him.
They loved pretending to ride on the power wheels. Surprisingly, they didn't even ask for one. I have to say that I was shocked that we spend 2 hours in a toy store and we left without buying a single thing. And nobody even whined about it. It was awesome!!
Phillip wants to buy this so bad. It would actually work pretty well in our backyard but of course it was $800. So no, we won't be getting it ; )
