I love it when Lego releases a new series of mini figures and this collection looks fabulous. Of course, I want them all! I’m especially in love with the Scottish bagpipe player and the flower-child hippie. Must have! Now I have to find these in the store and figure out how to feel the packages for bagpipes. lol!

Who knew there was such thing as Platypus Day? Well, we are excited because we are big time Phineas and Ferb fans around here! If you’re a hardcore fan, you will recognize the name of this blog as coming from this episode of P&F.
So it goes without saying that we will fire up the DVR and record the marathon. Or maybe we’ll just start at the beginning and watch the episodes on Netflix? There are also several online activities at Disney.com to help you celebrate.
I’m sort of wishing we bought these silly Perry hats at Disneyland. Sort of.
Hope all you platypus fans have a fun day on March 3rd!

We celebrated my nieces turning 6 years old. They are crafty little ladies so I knew these would be the perfect gifts to give them.
color your own t-shirts with fabric markers
I found them at JoAnn’s and they had all sorts of Disney t-shirts, including ones that boys would love like Cars and Toy Story. I couldn’t seem to find them online at the JoAnn’s site, but they do have some fun Disney pillowcases to color. Amazon also has the pillowcases and some cute color your own Disney t-shirts in different styles. I bought Marvy fabric markers, but I’m sure other brands will also work well. The ones I bought are quite a bit cheaper at amazon, but that’s what happens when you shop on the day of the party.
They were thrilled with their new projects, so if you are looking for a unique idea for a kid’s gift, this is a fun one. Of course, you might want to check with Mom & Dad first to be sure they are ok with fabric markers. My nieces are mature enough to understand that they can’t use them on fabric unless Mom says it’s ok.

What did we ever do without the internet?
Each year we try to learn how other countries celebrate Christmas and then try to do something that country does for Christmas. Here is a great link.
Are you going to do this? leave a comment below and tell us what you are going to do.

Something fun I like to do at Christmas time when I get a little antsy for Christmas day is make a Christmas chain countdown.
A Christmas chain is a bunch of papers folded into one another, like this.
I modeled it for the camera
I just wish it wasn’t so long!
Something I look forward to every year is decorating my very own Christmas tree.
My tree in 2009
My tree this year (2011)
This is something I love to have in my room each year, it is so fun when I wake up I can see my little tree sitting on my dresser. Something else I like to do is to set out my Christmas stuffed animals by my tree and make it so I have a little Christmas display.
Do you do this? If so post your pictures here.
I love the Christmas season, it’s my favorite time of year! We will be posting here a lot more in December to give you some fun ideas and share some traditions we do every year.

for a school assignment this week I had to keep a journal for everything I did that involved math. At the end of the day I was shocked at how much I used math though out the day! So here is everyone's challenge keep a journal for one day of how much math you did (no matter how small the math was). When you have done this come post a comment of all the math you did I’d love to hear your experience.

We love the Life is Good website and line of products. Nifty Knitter wears a lot of Life is Good t-shirts! We thought these coloring pages would be fun to share. They would be great as seasonal decorations, greeting cards, or just a fun activity for Thanksgiving day!
