The Super Hero Squad Show Volume 2
What holiday season would not be complete without super heroes? I would rather not think about it. Since the holiday season is approaching, I feel that it is only right to mention that The Super Hero Squad Show Volume 2 would be a great addition to your child’s collection. The way these characters interact with each other in a way that promotes teamwork, trust, and standing for what is right is always a great way to arouse these traits in our children.
Watch as Iron Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Thor, Falcon and their friends faithfully – and hysterically – protect Super Hero City from the wild, weird and even wacky villainy of VillainVille’s most infamous baddies, led by the sinister Dr. Doom! The Super Hero Squad Show: Quest For The Infinity Sword! Volume 2 DVD features the second six episodes from Season One, plus all-new bonus features, including an interview with Tom Kenny (Iron Man, Captain America and MODOK), hero profiles, trailers and more.
Boasting a stellar ensemble of well-known celebrity voice talent, The Super Hero Squad Show animated series features super-stylized, action-packed versions of Marvel’s popular characters (including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Silver Surfer and Wolverine) with a comedic twist. Marvel has attracted top voice talent to play the roles of Marvel’s iconic heroes and villains. Not to mention, Volume 2 of The Super Hero Squad Show also boasts the voice talent of Kevin Michael Richardson (Family Guy), Greg Grunberg (Heroes), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld), Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone) and Lena Headey (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles).

Freddi Fish ABC’s Under the Sea
As most of you know at our house we love us some video games. We also like our kids to actually know things like ABC’s, 123′s, colors, and directions that will enable them to have great success in their future. So, if there was some way to combine these two things to encompass fun and learning all rolled up in a video game that would be stellar. Well now, Atari has figured out just how to do it with the release of Freddi Fish ABC’s Under the Sea! As soon as I opened this game up and let Ry-Ry play it he was “hooked”. I don’t think he even knew that he was actually learning until I pointed out that he had never counted up to a certain number that he did. He loves this game and it has even replaced some of his older beloved titles. Let’s give a big hand to this extremely fun and educational game!

My Role During Halloween
Halloween. The one time of year where you can dress up and be anyone in the universe you want to be. What better excuse do you need to get excited about this remarkable day? Growing up I was always taught this. I was told it was a magical night where monsters ran wild, ninjas kicked butt, and vampires were scary and did not glitter.
When I first became a father I was leery about my role during Halloween. My friends and I all used to set up our own “yard of horrors” when we were younger. I soon realized once I saw the horror on my young daughters face in being frightened by daddy scaring people and acting so “not-daddy” to her. I soon hung up my mask and creepy demon fingers and traded them in for a pair of comfortable walking shoes and a little one’s hand. My role as a dad during Halloween has changed significantly in the past seven years. Now that I have three little ones that are so ready each year to go tromping through the neighborhood, I really see how important my role during this night has matured.
Here are some things that I have put into action over the years.
- Encourage you child to use their imagination to the fullest. If they want to fly down the street during trick or treating, talk with an accent all day, or even moan like the undead…let them.
- When it comes to selecting costumes for Halloween let them be whatever they want. As long as it is in good taste and holds still to your family values. My four year old has been Batman for the last three years and he loves it every year.
- Halloween candy is for Halloween. I let them indulge on some candy but after a few days it all goes bye bye. It is a night filled with candy and they shouldn’t have the desire to stock up. Keep it special.
- You already paid a ridiculous amount for those costumes. After the night is over just let them wear the costume whenever they want. Our kid’s costumes go in the dress up drawer and they come out and get put on frequently.
After all that I have experienced over the years I really feel it is important that my kids know that I want them to have fun on Halloween. I will be there when they need me to walk them up that sidewalk when it looks too dark and give them Pepto when they eat too much. I have always thought that it’s not just the act of walking from house to house that defines the night..it’s the walk and the time spent in between.

Halloween “Do’s” with Fantastic Sam’s
The great peeps over at Fantastic Sam’s have answered a couple of questions regarding Halloween Hair-do’s along with some general tips to totally add the finishing touch to your rockin’ costume. Fantastic Sams’ Pam Kelly, National Director of Technical Services, put together the following “hair raising” tricks and tips.
HALLOWEEN HAIR TIPS
The hair you wear with your Halloween costume can make or break the look! Here are a few tips and tricks to complete your look.
- To add color to your Halloween hair, make it a temporary color so you can easily remove it after the party’s over. Colored hairsprays and temporary colored hair gels are the easiest to remove. Simply brush out the hairstyle and shampoo with fantasticcleanse clarifying shampoo and follow with fantasticcondition moisturizing conditioner. If your hair is porous, you may need to shampoo two or three times!
- Get crazy with a crimping iron to add wild texture to your hair. This is a great look for the vampire craze that will definitely been seen at parties and in the streets during Halloween night. Just remember to use fantasticstyle thermal guard to protect your hair from the heat of the iron.
- Many Halloween hair styles require back combing the hair to achieve new heights. Spray the hair after backcombing with fantastic finish finishing spray to keep it where you want it. When you are ready to remove the backcombing, a brush with plastic bristles will be more gentle on the hair. Start at the ends and work your way to the base of the backcombing to remove.
- To create spikes in your hair, apply fantastic style styling cement on wet hair and then blow dry into place by brushing and directing the hair upward. This styling cement will defy gravity!
I hope this helps you out on trying to figure out a style to go with your look. Feel free to leave a comment for me telling what your craziest hairstyle has been for Halloween.
The Hotness
We have been trying to totally move Ry-Ry away from having accidents in the urinary department for a long while now. It’s just he gets so enthralled in whatever he’s doing whether it’s video games, tv, or annoying his sister. I constantly have to ask him “Ry-Ry, did you tee-tee?” He says “no” and continues on with whatever he was doing.
After several hours of not asking or checking his undies, I ask him “Ry-Ry you gotta tee-tee?” and there was no reply. I say “ok…lemme check”. I proceed to check his urinary area and find it damp. I say “Ry…what is this? Why did you pee your pants?” He says “I didn’t Daddy…it’s just my hotness!”
