Candytopia

-
We had tickets to a Rangers game this weekend.. we thought of going into the city a few hours earlier and spend some time there before the game. 

We didn't want to wander too far away from that area so I found a candy themed exhibition a block away called Candytopia. 

There were timed tickets you had to buy online and we were escorted in as a group. Just like in Legoland.. here everything was made out of candy.




As you can see below, it took 13,000 pieces of candy and 48 hours to make this little fox.









and they finished it all off with a marshmallow ball pit. 


Not to mention all the free candy they got in every room, this is only some.. much of it was eaten.


Afterwards we went to Madison Square Garden to watch the Rangers crush the Penguin in a 6-0 game. You can check out my Instagram for all our Rangers videos here. 

Sunday was spent doing a lot of nothing..

Oh, I know someone else who went to the Candytopia exhibit! It looked so fun! (And she's my age, so I'm sure it was 10x as fun for actual children haha!) Awesome that you got to go to a Rangers game! I can't remember the last time I went to a hockey game, which is sad because I used to be a very devoted fan!

How cool to find this candy art exhibit so close by the game. It looked super fun.And the game too, last time I went to a hockey game was about a decade ago. When my friends father passed the Islanders had a moment of silence. He was a fire fighter and big in the community and was of course a big Islanders fan.

Candytopia would be a kid's dream. What an interesting place where everthing is made out of candy. Kind of like Willy Wonka haha. That fox is too cute to eat. I noticed he had candy corns on him. The marshmallow pit looks fun. And all the candy they want in every room! What a delightful place to take the kids for the day.

I'm not sure whether to be concerned or impressed. (At who would spend the time making such things out of candy. If it's there, of course you should go and see it.) Great score on the free candy from the tour.

I bet the boys had a ball! That was amazing. It was weird where far away it looked like art and up close looked like candy. And free candy - what kid doesn't love. Me, I like chocolate.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
