The Magic of Chucky and Child's Play

Hi, I'm Chucky wanna play?
Hey there.  It's Friday night and we're hanging out at home looking for a movie to watch.  We could go out and catch a just released film but we decided to browse through Netflix to see what we could find.  What we decided on was Child's Play, the 1988 cult classic.  The kids haven't seen it.  They're more into the new stuff.  They care not for 80s awesome unless I bring it up and tell them about it.  I always said how some of my earliest memories are that of my dad and I staying up watching movies on HBO.  I'm sure my mother didn't approve.  I was no more than 8 years old or so and there I was, watching Child's Play, Poltergeist, The Exorcist, Phantasm, Hellraiser, you know, movies along those lines.  Looking back at them now, they aren't really child material and I wouldn't show my kids stuff like that at that young of an age.  Anyways, Child's Play came up on Netflix and there I go, saying how awesome it is that we just have to watch it.

Undo What Life Did to Your Car with Armor All

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Armor All for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
ArmorAllnonsampleBlogCopy.docHey there.  I'm one of those guys that find it a huge chore to detail your car.  The scrubbing, the cleaning, the vacuuming... it's just a huge pain, right?  Especially for a guy like me that can go several weeks before I give my vehicle a good scrub down.  Those weeks of people getting in and out of the van, hands touching everything, and the blazing sun hitting the dashboard can really do a number to the interior.  Life happens and sometimes it takes its toll on your vehicle.  But you know what?  Your vehicle is an extension of who you are so if you want to keep it nice and clean.  You want to rejuvenate your car's look so that it doesn't look worn out.  While most of the cleaning and detailing takes a while, I can always count on Armor All to make things just a little easier.

The Color Run was Freakin' Awesome


Hey there.  So yesterday was our first ever 5K.  I've wrote about it a few times before and if you don't know what The Color Run is, shame on you!  lol  If you don't know, I forgive you this time.  The Color Run is a short 5K run where you get splattered with paint after every kilometer.  We were a group of 4, but the kids went with us as well.  We found out that our youngest was able to run for free so my wife made him a number and pinned it to his shirt.  The older kids didn't miss out, though.  They didn't get a chance to run the 5K, poor planning on my part, but they did get a chance to join us at the finish line and be a part of the massive coloring celebration!  Enough talking!  On to the pics!
