Skylanders Bad Ass Bird, Jet-Vac


Photo-A-Day #2913

On of the more fun Skylanders Giants figures has been Jet-Vac. I love his vacuum gun that can blow out bursts of air but also suck bad guys in and render them toast. You can also walk around and suck in random birds around the game. That is actually one of the quests for Jet-Vac, to suck 50 birds into the vacuum gun.

It was a nice day today so we spent a few hours cleaning up the sidewalk around the house. I swept the sand off the sidewalk and Eva helped me out as well. Allison started in on the flowerbeds and picked up many leaves while wrangling Andrew. The kids were very good while we worked.

Then it was time for the kids to get their Easter haircuts. Eva was an angel and enjoyed getting her hair cut. Andrew took some wrangling, but in the end he got his hair cut as well.

We had a quiet afternoon and watched the movie Despicable Me. Allison and I laughed pretty hard while watching it, Eva fluctuated between not liking it and then liking it. Andrew was transfixed for a bit and fairly cuddly. He must have been tired, he gets cuddly and affectionate when he is tired.

Review: Time to Hop into Easter

When Hop was in the movie theaters we took Eva to see it. She had already been to the movies once before and she liked it so we figured that this would be a cute movie for her to go and see. She enjoyed it and so did we, it was cute and silly and fun. Russell Brand was very funny as E. B. the son of the Easter Bunny with a dream to drum in a band. James Marsden as Frank, a slacker who loves Easter and who saw the Easter Bunny as a child also did a good job in the movie. But it was Hanz Azaria who got many of the best lines. We watched the movie again on Blu-ray and it was fun the second time around.

The Blu-ray has some very fun options including commentary by Hank Azaria as Carlos and games and so many other fun features. Here is the trailer and an exclusive clip of Phil’s Dance Party plus the Press Release.
