Harry Potter Shipping Soon
Woohoo! We just received word that our copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is being prepared for shipping from Amazon.com. We should have it in our hot little hands sometime on Saturday.

Check Out “Man vs. Wild”
Well, we have a new favorite TV show in our house… It’s called Man vs. Wild, and it airs on Discovery.

In the show, Grylls intentionally “strands himself in popular wilderness [...]

With that in mind, I thought I’d pull together a list of free (or at least really cheap) movie theater promotions for kids this summer. In case you’re not aware, theaters often have special summer promos where [...]
We Bought a Wii
At long last, we bought a Nintendo Wii. We’ve actually been in the market for one for quite some time, but we haven’t been willing to pay a premium. Moreover, there’s no way that I’d sleep in a parking lot to get one. Anyway, we were out TV shopping on Friday night when we had [...]
Proof That Everyone Needs a Nintendo Wii
