We beat the heat in July by hosting our very own ice cream social! A few weeks back we invited our playgroup friends over for a special ZhuZhu Pets themed party and the kids got a chance to play with two new and cool toys in the ZhuZhu pet line: ZhuZhu Pets Ice Cream Parlor and ZhuZhu Pets Ice Cream Truck.
The ZhuZhu Pets Ice Cream Parlor playset reminds me of a retro ice cream shop. The parlor itself is pretty darn cute with a sliding drive through window on one side, a fancy red/white awning with sign attached to a checkered serving counter on the other side and a rounded bar in between. 
The set includes the following ice cream accessories: 7 Ice Cream Treats, 4 double-sided flavor ice cream tubs, and an ice cream scoop. The set also includes a picnic table and umbrella as well as connector pieces so you can attach it to other ZhuZhu Pets sets. When a ZhuZhu pet drives over the track bumps in the drive-thru or inside the parlor, it responds. For instance, when it goes through the drive-thru lane it stops and makes noises that sound like someone placing an ice-cream order.
The ZhuZhu Pets Ice Cream Truck is even more fun. A ZhuZhu Pets hamster can "drive" the truck! The truck is designed with an open back and has a special ramp where you place a ZhuZhu hamster. When the hamster drives the truck around, the truck plays music -- a familiar, chiming ice cream truck melody. The truck set includes a little ice cream man hat, sized to fit on a ZhuZhu Pet. We took a short video so you can see the truck in action:

The kids enjoyed playing with their HEXBUG Nano bunny robots over Easter and made a fun maze out of wooden blocks. Love those bugs! 
Find more of this week's Wordless Wednesday (or Wordful) posts at 5 Minutes for Mom. Thanks to MomSelect we invited our friends over for a HEXBUG Nano Easter Egg Party last week and each child received an Nano Easter egg.

My family has found a wonderful way to relieve stress -- dancing! Just crank up the music, let it all go and sing and dance away. It's amazing how much better you feel after just a little spontaneous movement. Plus, if you add kids to the mix, smiles and laughter are all but guaranteed. Kids have the best moves!

Thanks to Primrose Schools and MomSelect, my family recently held our own little dance party. They sent us a party pack that an awesome CD, t-shirts, gift card, ideas, recipes and a FLIP Camcorder. We especially love the Kids Dance Party: The Party Cats
This week, in anticipation of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday, we've started practicing our Irish dancing. Here's a short clip of the kids dancing to The Chieftains version of "Cotton-Eyed Joe" from the album The Wide World Over: A 40 Year Celebration
Primrose Schools hopes the promotion will increase awareness about the need for exercise and a healthy lifestyle in preventing childhood obesity. Dancing together as a family is one fun way to add physical activity to your daily schedule. If you are interested in supporting your local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, you can donate through the link provided on the Family Dance-off Website.
"The Family Dance-off supports Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170 children's hospitals, which collectively treat 17 million children annually for every illness and injury imaginable. The grand prize winner of the Family Dance-off receives a $5,000 cash prize and a $30,000 donation to their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital."

Fun! A few years ago, my husband made one of those bristle bots with a toothbrush head and some supplies from the hardware store. It only cost a few cents. LOL!
Cute! Love those bunny ears on the Hex bugs!
We love our Hexbug Nano's too. They are so much fun. Looks like you guys had a blast:)
My boys have the Hexbug Nano bunnies and enjoy playing with them. I like the maze idea.
Looks like fun! I wonder if my nieces know about hexbugs?
