Minions - Despicable Me 2


These are the minion toys that were part of McDonald's happy meal the same year Despicable Me 2 was shown in theaters in Canada. We went to a lot of McDonald's location just to be able to get these. The first photo shows (from left) Stuart Blaster and Phil Jelly Whistle



The following photo includes (from left) Tim Giggling, Dave Banana Babbler,  Jerry Whistle and Tom Babbler


The other minions that we did not collect are Purple Minion Giggling and Evil Minion Noise Maker

Too bad we are missing one of the violet characters (Purple Minion Giggling)

Sony Playstation Portable (PSP)



Bought all these 3 PSP's from Kijiji. Out of the three only the black one had an issue. It was modded so it is unable to play new some PSP games. It was a good buy nonetheless. My kids have enjoyed countless hours playing these devices when they feel bored during our long trips when we have layovers and when we go to visit relatives where they can't access their xBox and Wii stations.

Crayola Crayon Maker

This is a present we gave our kids Christmas of 2012. Since my kids have a lot of broken crayons we thought it would be cool to have this. It can melt old crayons that are very small to hold and mold it to form one the same size as a new crayon. Only problem is that it might scald the kids if they use it unsupervised.


I believe this is not a very wise investment. Only because it was only used two times and has been in our shelves collecting dust.
