My son really wants to go see the new G.I. Joe movie, but the next couple weeks are really hectic here, and then it’s back to school for him. So I’m not sure we’ll make it to the theaters to see it.

My son was pointing out a few G.I. Joe Rise of the Cobra Toys he thinks he needs. He really likes the vehicles, over the action figures.
Here are a few of his favorites. I’m sure he’ll …read more

He moves them around on a regular basis, and I’m impressed that they just keep on sticking, and there’s not a mark on the wall where he peeled them off.
Fatheads just introduced some new wall graphics based on a couple popular Nickelodeon shows. There are two …read more
