Want a road kill cat? You can pick yourself up a few pack at geekologie.com. Hey it is important to learn about life and death.

Speaking of learning about important grown up issues check this out, it is the Spanish Bebe Gloton ‘breastfeeding’ doll. The little girl puts on a vest with pasties, moves baby near by and the suckling noise begin. Available only in Spain.

Here is a video of the doll in action. It’s just wrong.

And here is what happened right before the breastfeeding was needed. It’s Happy Family Pregnant Midge Barbie with removable front cap belly to get a look at the fetus inside.

The Lego Craze Hit Home

After a fun filled girly slumber party that The Short one attended where the girls played Legos around the clock, the request came home. Here I was thinking Lego’s were for boys and I’d not have to deal with those little bitty pieces because really the Polly Pockets little pieces are enough! Well the begging began and really they are educational and The Short one loves to construct things, I guess I have to count myself lucky that the request didn’t come sooner. So we had to head out to Target and check them out, man they are really expensive – whoa! Wouldn’t you know it they have a LEGO® Pink Brick Box. It was immediately in the cart and $20 later and a trip home from the store and she was in Lego heaven. The Tall One and I also sat down with her to “help” and the uhm obsessive excited participation set in. I think we are all in trouble. I built a car and a cottage, The Tall One built a McMasion and I added a modern fireplace to it. Oh right this set belongs to the kid – Santa . . . are you reading this? Please bring more Lego’s!

“Santa’s Workshop” Produces Princess Land

The benefit of the short one only being of preschool age is she knows not to wake up early on Christmas morn to shred wrapping paper. She rose at the very civil hour of 8 am, rubbed her eyes and said “Presents now?” After opening a few gifts from out of town family, in town friends and exploring her stocking filled with sweets I asked her how she was feeling about Christmas. She said “I’m happy – now can we have bacon?” I told her Santa left a gift in her room (she slept in Mom and Dad’s bed on Christmas Eve) and I lead her down the hall to see what the big guy made with his elves. I (that would be Santa with no elves) worked at night for the last two weeks on a series of three Princess Land panels that would be inserted into the play area under her bed once she was asleep. I set out mini Princesses she already owned as if they were having a party in the space. I also installed battery LED lights under the mattress slats so she could see better. When she saw it – she was speechless, thrilled and jumping up and down. This might be the real reason I want to keep Santa out of it – I so deserve the credit for all this work!
