The BFG trailer looks spooky good!

I remember reading THE BFG when I was in elementary school. I was such a big fan of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that I pretty much wanted to read everything that Roald Dahl wrote. When I read THE BFG, I thought it would be really cool to have a giant for a friend. I mean, imagine how easy it would be to travel or get something off the top shelf?  

Playing with toys at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair #ChiTAG

A few weeks ago the Fandads took part in Chicago Toy and Game Week and it was a blast like always.  We saw some amazing fashions and played with some pretty cool toys. Here is a quick recap of what went down that fun filled weekend. 

"Who wants $20?" Free screening of DADDY'S HOME in Chicago!

The last time Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg were together in a movie it was in an off-beat police comedy called "The Other Guys" and I found it to be funny and strange at the same time.  It was a great premise and these two actors had a fun chemistry with each other. 

The Rocky Connection. #Giveaway

I remember one time when I was younger my grandparents on my father's side came to visit. I've talked about my grandfather before on this blog and he's the reason why I participate in Movember, but this is one memory that has always stayed with me.

Coloring with the Force thanks to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? It was almost like a million bloggers all cried out at once and then silence...but not for everyone.  This weekend a few of my fellow bloggers are heading to the HUGE #StarWarsEvent in Los Angeles and I will be following along via the hashtag #StarWarsEvent.  

Counting Down to Christmas with Arlo from The Good Dinosaur

Remember when you were younger and the anticipation for Christmas once December hits? Did you "X" out the days until Christmas? I remember doing that with my calendars and just could not wait until the day came when I could celebrate with my family and see what gifts were waiting for us under the Christmas tree.

If you have children (or are just a kid at heart) you know that advent calendars are a better way to count down the days until Christmas than just drawing an "X" on the calendar.  If you are like me and waited until the last minute to get one and can not find the one you are looking for, I'm looking at you Lego Star Wars advent calendar, than this is a quick and easy one to make at home with your children. 

Countdown the days with Arlo and see what's hidden behind the doors each day.  I would tell you what's being door number 2, but I think I should keep it a surprise.  What are you waiting for? Start that printer and get to printing and cutting!!

Where's Luke? I have a theory.

With Star Wars: The Force Awakens releasing in a few weeks, the big question has been: Where is Luke?  Well, after sitting down and looking at the teasers and trailers a few times I have come up with a theory.
