We Scored At Toys R Us #DisneyInfinity

This is totally not a sponsored post but we got a great deal at Toys R Us and I had to share!  I spent a couple hours last night looking over the best deals for Disney Infinity - Toys R Us has a 20% off coupon code: 962213 which made the Disney Infinity Starter Pack $59.99 (suggested retail is $74.99) and because I bought online during their presale I was able to score a free figure and power pack!  What made shopping online even more awesome is that Toys R Us offers free in-store pickup!  We printed our order receipt, walked right in, let an associate know we were there to pickup and we were done!  SO EASY!  This option is the best!!!

There is a six year age gap from our last baby to our newest baby.  I can tell you the funniest baby adventures about each and every one of them.  All parents remember 'em like it was yesterday - I know I do.  Ready to embarrass our kids when they hit those lovely teen years.  Our littlest Omar, is an busy baby.  He fears nothing except the vacuum cleaner.  He started crawling at 4 months and started walking when he turned one.  We love Huggies Snug & Dry new SureFit design because he's so mobile and the closer-to-body fit to move with his twists and turns!  As he gets older, his little personality is shining through - a little bit defiant, he knows what no means but will smile and do it anyway.  He knows he's the baby and he knows he can do whatever he likes which brings me to his squirmy story.

Last year, before school let out for the Summer - we were trying to get Duke's paperwork in order so that we could homeschool him.  We had to head to the district office to fill out a form to release him from our district.  After running around all day, I thought it would take a minute to drop off the release but the district campus is huge and I had to walk 2-3 buildings all the way to the back.  My husband Chris was waiting in the truck with Omar.  I came out 20 minutes later, my husband had moved the truck and the back hatch was open.  I came around the corner and saw my husband's face - it had the look of disgust and disappointment.  I looked down and saw the baby laying on a blanket, smiling and a pile of 20 used baby wipes.  Chris bursts out, "I don't know what happened but his poop is everywhere!  We should just throw out his onesie!"  It was so funny!  Amazingly enough, the Huggies diaper did it's job - my husband on the other hand, acted like a new father and forgot how to wipe a squirmy baby!

Super Cute Toy Alert: Octonauts at Toys R Us!

The first time we saw the Octonauts was when we were waiting in the Pediatrician's office - Omar was only a couple days old and he had jaundice.  They sent us home with a biliblanket and we had to come in every day to have his blood checked.  Our stress levels were explosive because of the rough labor and delivery I had and now Omar's jaundice so for a few minutes that day our minds were curious about the cute show we saw while sitting in the Doctor's office.  My husband and I thought they were so cute and wondered if they had toys because we are suckers for cute characters.  That was a year ago (almost to the date!) and they are still one of thee cutest kids shows ever.  When the opportunity came up to review new Octonauts toys, I was so excited because I wanted to check them out!  Kids almost never turn down toys so this was a no-brainer.  It definitely had to pass my test.

A huge box arrived and I could not believe how adorable everything was.  I was bummed that the recommended age for the toys is 3+ years old.  Omar wouldn't be getting play time with the Octonauts anytime soon but that didn't stop our 7 year old Duke from totally geeking out about the Octonauts Octopod Playset and Octonauts Gup-B Mission Vehicle & Kwazii.

If you aren't familiar with Octonauts - it airs on Disney Junior and follows the daily adventures of a team of eight underwater heroes that explore the world's oceans, rescue the creatures who live there and protect their habitats - above and below the waves!

Octonauts Octo-Compass is really adorable.  I let Omar play with this toy because you can hear phrases from your favorite Octonauts characters Barnacles, Kwazii and Peso.  We thought the creature sounds and Octo-Alert signal were fun!  It retails for $12.99 at Toys "R" Us.

Octonauts GUP-B Mission Vehicle & Kwazii are our second favorites.  The GUP-B mission vehicle works on both land and in water so guess where Duke wanted to play with them?  Yep, in the tub!  The creatures totally change color in water.  This set retails for $14.99 at Toys "R" Us.

Octonauts Rescue Assortment Barnacles & Tunip is a great addition to the GUP-B Mission Vehicle set - this action figure set comes with a Tunip water-squirter, a clamshell and sea creatures that also change colors in warm water!  Duke enjoys these during his baths too.  I let Omar hold Captain Barnacles during his bath.  This set retails for $9.99 at Toys "R" Us.  

Octonauts Octopod Playset is the motherlode.  This set is super cute and Fisher-Price always has high marks with me when it comes to playsets.  I remember my playsets when I was a kid and many times look for those vintage toy sets when I'm out thrifting or vintage shopping.  They are excellent quality and make the best memories.  The Octopod Playset is on that same level.  Excellent quality and fun for all - yes even me.  It makes me so happy passing this playset in my living room.  I don't even have to tell you how much fun the one year old and seven year old have with the 10 play pieces including Barnacles, Kwazii, a mini GUP-A, 3 creatures, 4 rescue tools and a clip-on Octo-Alert that features phrases and sounds!  This retails for $34.99 at Toys "R" Us.
