Spongebob Connect 4 game review

- brandy3

 From manufacturer:Play your favorite four-in-a-row game the Bikini Bottom way! Drop your checkers into the yellow and porous grid and try to make a line upwards, sideways, or diagonal. Block your opponent with checkers–or use your Spongebob Blocker to block many holes at once! But look out–if your opponent’s checkers stack to the top of the grid, they can take away your SpongeBob Blocker! If you get four checkers in a row before your opponent –you win!

*****This game is a lot of fun, just like the classic connect 4. This one the pieces have Spongebob and Patrick on them.  The game tower even has Spongebobs face on it. My kids are a little younger than the recommended age, but they understood how to play and had a blast. 

Retail price: $18.99

for ages 6 and up

Rating:9

I also received Pictureka, Crazy Old Fish War,Monopoly Deal, Littlest Pet Shop Go Fish, Scrabble Slam and Rook.

***The card games are a little out of age range for my kids. My daughters really enjoyed Littlest pet shop go fish. Go fish Go fish is all I hear now.  These would make perfect stocking stuffer for the holiday season.

Retail value: $4.99-$6.99

***This bag Can fit a lot of Stuffed animals, We had a full dorm fridge box full, and almost all of them fit. My kids love how soft it is and you can jump and sit on it.  I didn’t expect it to be that big though. I can’t find anywhere in my kids room to put it.  I have to admit though it’s better than having stuffed animals laying everywhere.  This is a must have for getting your childs room organized and clean.

Ice Age 3 Dawn of The Dinosaurs

- brandy3

Get ready, for the dawn of a new age!  Manny, Sid, Diego and Ellie are back for more pre-hysterical hijinks when Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs stomps onto Three-Disc Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack October 27 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  The third film in the outrageously popular Ice Age franchise, the sub-zero heroes return another wild and fun adventure.  Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while maybe finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals and Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs.  On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna, run amuck, and meet a relentless, one-eyed dino-hunting weasel named Buck.  The coolest animated comedy of the year, Ice Age:  Dawn Of The Dinosaurs features hilarious performances from Ice Age veterans Ray Romano (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), John Leguizamo (The Happening), Denis Leary (“Rescue Me”), Queen Latifah (The Secret Life of Bees), Seann William Scott (Planet 51) and Josh Peck (“Drake & Josh”), along with newcomers Bill Hader (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Kristen Wiig (“Saturday Night Live”), Jane Lynch (“Glee”) and Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead). 

The Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs “Scrat Pack” Double DVD Pack, a great value for moms and fun for kids, will also be available for a limited time only featuring an overload of special features focusing on the determined squirrel including three “Scrat” games exclusive to the disc.

 

*** This movie is hilarious, we are big fans of the first two and this one is right up there with them. My favorite part is when there in the green cave, and they are acting goofy and laughing like crazy.  My kids loved seeing the T-rex, plus all there favorite characters.  My kids just think it’s so funny how Scrat can never catch a break, with his nuts.  The Scrat DVD also includes a music video and games.

Release date: October 27,2009

Retail value:$34.98

Car Seat Safety Resources

- brandy3

Having three in car seats, I know how important it is to make sure your car seat is installed correctly.  When my oldest DD was first-born, I actually went to my local fire department and they helped me with proper installation.

It’s not that easy for some people and not all firefighters know how to install them.

Here are some easy resources for you, if you need help in this area.

Twitter: www.twitter.com/ChildSeatSafety or @ChildSeatSafety there is an actual safety expert runs this twitter account, and will answer any questions parents have about car seat safety.

Facebook: The NHTSA has a their own facebook page at  http://facebook.com/childpassengersafety, where you can learn about everything from latches and inspection offices.

Website: Visit  http://childcarsafety.adcouncil.org/  they have videos,a fun quiz, and office locations.

Driving without your child in a restraint, or not having it properly installed can be very scary. If your unsure about installation of your car seat, visit these sites.

If you don’t have a car seat, or can’t afford one ask your local health department. Some states have programs where they will help you get a car seat if you qualify.

Never buy a used car seat, without knowing anything about it, it may be defective.

Thanks to Momfleunce for these resources
