Lego City: Father's Day Event

What are you doing Saturday? Nothing!?! Good. Then you should take your kids to Toys R Us? Why? Because there is something cool, fun, and free to do. Thanks to Social Networking and my friend Joe... I have learned that Toys R Us is doing a Lego Building Event.

Growing up, my room was littered with legos. I would build cities and destroy them. Battle Ships, cars, Space Aliens, Legos really do allow you to unlock your imagination. I love Legos. And evidently, Legos loves Dads. At Toys R Us this Saturday 12-2PM, bring your kids to your local Toys R Us and you get to put together a Lego City Police Car... and bring it home!

Free Comic Book Day!!!

Here's a Sampling of the Free Comics We Got.

Free Comic Book Day is the annual event which takes place on the first Saturday of May each year.  The concept behind the give away day, is to inspire people to get back into the comic book shops.  It worked on us today.  The last time I stepped into a comic book store was in passing visiting my friend who ran a shop.  Comic Books were a pretty important part of my childhood. Many of weekends I'd would drag my dad to a comic book store in hopes of checking out the newest X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor, Young Blood, Wild Force, and I would spend all my allowance. Lily is a bit of a tomboy, she has never asked me for a Barbie or other dolls, but has asked me about Legos, Skylanders, and Transformers (yeah I was pretty proud of the last one.)  So being able to share a part of my past with my oldest daughter was very exciting.

Comic Madness located at 12345 Mountain Ave, Chino welcomed the greater public into their shop today.  With the ability to pick up to 5 predetermined comic books, Michelle, Lily, and I each got a few comic books to preview.   I think it's pretty cool that the Comic Book Industry realizes that by offering "Free Samples" that they could capitalize on a whole new generation of comic fans.  Lily has already read a book about the Smurfs and is looking forward to reading her next one,
 Sponge Bob.  It might be too late for you to take advantage of it this year, but make sure you stay tuned to next year as I believe the Free Comic Book Day is here to stay.

Home Depot Craft Day

Two Pot Hanging Planter

I'm not exactly what I'd call a Do-It-Yourself kind of guy, a trait I'd desperately would like to change about myself. But when I do need tools or hardware or planting soil, I visit Home Depot.  In the past I really didn't have a preference which Home Improvement Store I would shop, Lowe's, ACE, and Home Depot are relatively priced the same and the locations aren't very far from where I live.  I chose Home Depot for the specific reason that they have a monthly craft day.  The first Saturday of every month, the good people at Home Depot put together an event where children can come in an build something.  For the better part of 2 years as a family we will go to the Depot and Lily will make some very cool things.  Pencil Holder, Coasters, Race Cars, and even a keep sake box.  This is the second planter that Lily has made... but a much better version. The folks who run the Home Depot in Chino seem to genuinely enjoy interacting with the children and parents, offering popcorn and snow cones. 

In this economy the consumer really does have the power where they'll spend their precious dollars, I happily spend my dollars at Home Depot because of these events.  If you'd like to know me information, please visit your local Home Depot for details.
