I’ll tell you straight out, I don’t watch Arthur. The kids don’t watch it either. Not often as far as I know. We may have seen one or two episodes but I think it is for kids who are a bit older than Eva and Andrew. I do hear that it is a good show and they tackle many different issues that kids are going through. A big issue that is being talked about everywhere right now is Bullying. For Arthur’s Spring Premiere Week there will be two episodes about Bullying. One will be on May 6 and the second on May 10. Please see the Press Release below and the video preview for more info.

Star Wars / Free Comic Book Day Crossover
Today was the annual even where Comic Book stores are inundated with fans clamoring for free comic books. Free Comic Book Day is an event that we have participated in for many years now. Each year we head to Wild Time Comics to see Randy and his family and pick up some fun new books. I’ve been taking Eva to Free Comic Book Day since 2010 (I missed 2011 but Allison took her and her cousin, Amanda). Each year we’ve gone to Wild Time for the day and the event has gotten bigger and better each year. There are goodie bags and cookies for the kids. There is a balloon artist and even some comic book artists and writers signing. We get there early because of my sleep schedule so we missed a few things. Maybe some year I’ll have more time to spend at the event.
Randy gets dressed as Thor and it is funny because almost one year to the day we have a photo of Eva with Randy as Thor and it is so funny to see how little she looked a year ago. Also, last year she was Torrun the daughter of Thor and this year she went as Supergirl. Then you jump back to 2010 and she went with a dress and a crown. Her photo even showed up in the Free Comic Book Day thank you ad to the fans. Next Year I think Andrew will be at that level where Eva was for her first Free Comic Book Day. He still needs to be carried and he is all wiggly and impatient. I think next year he’ll come in costume and be able to pick out his own comics. We didn’t pick out any for him because he is at the stage where he will just rip them up. Continue reading Star Wars / Free Comic Book Day Crossover
