Flashback Friday....

 I have just found this linky over at cafebebe where you can add a post of something you would like to share in Fashback Friday...

We Love Halloween it's a good excuse to have fun dressing up and scaring ourselves.Over they years we have gone out trick and treating and stayed in waiting for trick or treaters to come.Last year my little 2 were in fits of laughter when my little girl decided to sneak a bite out of a sweet,when she couldn't bite it we went under a lamppost to see what it was....

2 years ago we went out to explore the new place we live and found somewhere loads of people really dress their houses and encourage the kids to call...

My older son is to old for trick or treating but still likes to dress up and have fun with the little ones...

4 years ago we stayed in and waited for the children to call...

Oh and My mum popped round...

All ready and waiting for Monday now...

Lite Sprites Review....

Lite Sprites a new toy which myself and daughter are lucky enough to be sharing our thoughts on. We had never heard of Lite Sprites before and so decided to check out YouTube to see what they were all about.Once we watched the YouTube video we were really looking forward to them arriving as they look really good fun for my daughter (and myself) to play with.

About Lite Sprites

Lite Sprites are cute magical friends that live in a stunning interactive world they live in a place called Lite-Topia which is an enchanted land that sparkles with light and colour.The Lite Sprites can share colour and light among themselves and you even get a working wand.Use the Lite wand to share colour and light with lite sprites and the interactive world of Lite-Topia.The Lite Sprites are brilliant for kids who love fairies and magic and are suitable for children age 4 to 8 years old.

What we thought of the light sprites...

The moment my daughter came home from school her eyes were wide,her jaw dropped and all she could think about was how soon can we get them out to play."After dinner I replied" but she wasn't having any of this "just get me one out so I can have a look "she replied please,please please....

Needless to say since the day Brooke,Prisma,Meadow, Astra and Bleak landed in our house she has been playing with them every spare moment she can.These are truly her favourite toy (at this moment in time!) and something she loves to play. They all have their own distinct features and also look like different toys in the dark.

I think these are great toy's for girls for Christmas and would be a top toy that I would recomend I cannot find anything bad about them they are great...
The age range they have given this toy I would say is spot on ....

We made a few video's 1st one with music 2nd one my daughter playing to show you just how great these toys really are....

                                     Lite sprites prices and where to buy.
