The Zombie and Glow Hexbug Invasion
Bugs are not something that I typically like, but Hexbugs are a completely different story. About a year ago, these little critters entered our world when we hosted a Hexbug Party. The boys adored the Hexbugs along with our neighbors that joined us for some fun. The Hexbugs have been used a lot over the last year.
Since the kids liked the Hexbugs so much, I immediately signed up to host a Hexbug Nano Halloween party featuring their glow-in-the-dark tracks. In addition to this, we would be getting some of the Limited Edition Hexbug Nano Halloween Zombie bugs. We were thrilled to find out that we were selected and received our kit to plan a party. Keeping the boys away from the goodies while planning has been very hard.
Here is a preview of the fun:
As much fun as Hexbugs are, the new glow-in-the-dark add in a great twist. We really enjoyed putting together the HEXBUG Nano Habitat that glows-in-the-dark
More video, photos, and fun coming soon!
Disclosure: This preview post for our HEXBUG Nano Halloween Party was made possible by MomSelect, Mommy Parties, and HEXBUG. They provided me with all of the items shown above to throw the ultimate HEXBUG Nano Halloween Party. The opinions are 100% mine and I received no other compensation. One product link is included to our Amazon Affiliate where we will receive a percentage of money for the sale of the Hexbug set should you opt to buy one.

Percussion Practice
In third grade, kids at NHL’s school are allowed to sign up to play an instrument. When the band options came home, NHL immediately declared that he wanted to try the drums. Of course, I asked people what they thought about different instruments. I grew up taking piano lessons since we inherited the piano from my Nana and Papa. TechyDad took violin and my brother took clarinet for a short time.
NHL was the first person to sign up for percussion, so he was guaranteed a chance to try this instrument group. So far he loves it. We still need to work out a practice schedule at home, but we get it in as much as we can.
NHL is taking practice time very seriously. He loves to explain to us about the different notes, rests, and other items. Now if only we could figure out the best way to haul in his precious cargo. As I noted in another post, his percussion set is quite large and bulky.
So my question to you this week is inspired by NHL’s new music lessons:
What instrument did you learn to play as a child or adult? If you never took lessons, what would you love to try one day?

The Where’s Goofy Game
As you have probably figured out long before now, my family really likes Disney. My parents are probably the reason that I have such a love for Walt Disney World and most things related to Disney. For my Father’s Birthday, we looked for something to get him. Dad really likes the artist Jim Shore. They have some of his pieces, but did not own any of his Disney items.
While shopping online, I found something really perfect on Amazon. It was Disney Traditions designed by Jim Shore
Yes, my father loves African Violets. He actually goes to a semi-local place that had an African Violet greenhouse, called Lyndon Lyon Greenhouses, to get new variations. Taking macro photos of these has been really fun, but today I am focusing on Goofy. More African Violets coming soon. Since my father got Goofy, he seems to vanish. Yes, one day Goofy will be here:
Here’s a close-up of the sneaky little Goofster:
The next day, if we happen to arrive at Nana and Papa’s house – Goofy will be in a completely different location.
Yes, “Where’s Goofy” is the name of the game. When we walk into the house, the boys love to search and find him. The funny thing is that I think my parents actually hide Goofy on each other.
