    Lack Table Lookalike?

    Yesterday I went to Target to get paper towels, and left with an over flowing shopping cart full of stuff that I wanted needed.

    I’ve been debating bedside tables for my super hero’s bedroom, and decided to look around the furniture section at Target to see if they had anything affordable that would fill the space.

    I was about to leave when I came across this little table. It was only $15!

    So I tossed it into my already loaded chopping cart.

    It came wrapped in plastic and the legs come with screws attached.

    So like the sticker on the front says, “no tools needed!”

    P9071776

    It really isn’t a complicated assembly project, so it was up and in use in under 5 minutes.

    It has a max load capacity of 48 pounds according to the directions, which I personally don’t believe. It’s very light, and although it is sturdy, I’d be nervous if my little one (at 36 pounds) decided to stand on it for too long.

    Overall, for 15 dollars, it is pretty much what I expected it to be. There are a few spots where the faux wood strips are already starting to peel back, and I’m not sure if that’s because I wasn’t careful about the one that I chose, but regardless, I don’t expect this to last long. Maybe a year or 2, and that isn’t bed for the price. For the moment though, it does what I need it to do, and it’s kinda cute.

    That’s all for now. Talk to you in the next one!

    The Many Faces of Iron Man

    The other day while updating the blog, my little one saw the post about his wish list and convinced me to buy him the Super Hero Squad Headquarters, a set that came with Captain America, one that had Iron Man and the War Machine, and the Iron Man MODOK duo.

    The last thing he needs is more toys for absolutely no reason, but he made a very compelling case. You talk to him, bet he’ll convince you to finish off his list.

    Random side note, Iron Man Armored Adventures is a cute little show. We like the theme song too.

    Now, toward the end of that post about his wish list, I sad that all of the Super Hero Squad toys that came with an Iron Man came with one that was the same…well, I was wrong. 3 of those are new, and none of them are identical. But all of them he loves, and plays with. I think this pushes his Iron Man collection up toward the 15 mark…Maybe this will be the thing that he collects.

    Iron Man is his favorite of all of the super hero characters.  DC, Marvel….Iron Man is the one he likes the most. And that’s fine by me.

    Talk to you in the next one!
