I Have Found My New Favoritest Toy Ever And Its Name is Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon

by

Before even seeing Guardians of the Galaxy, I knew Rocket Raccoon was going to be a breakout star. After seeing the film (twice so far!), I have no doubt he will rule Hollywood in 2014. I expect an Oscar in Rocket’s future. Maybe a “Raccoon of the Year” cover on TIME Magazine. And I expect a few hundred little costumed Rocket Raccoons begging for candy at my door this Halloween. So when Hasbro (Thanks, Hasbro!!!) …

Chess Birthday Cake

Jason turns 11 (eep!) next month but thanks to crazy conflicts, we had his birthday party last weekend. This year, we took him and his friends to the movies, followed by a sleepover. Or, as you’d expect, a non-sleepover. Clearly Marvel is a big fan of my son, since every year around his birthday, there’s always a huge release. Last year was Iron Man 3 and this year it’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier! We …
