With the new movie that came out, it is awesome that another generation gets to enjoy Indiana Jones. My four year old even find the Indiana Jones movies funny.  When they had to eat monkey brains, well, she thought that was the funniest thing ever.  She also likes that he is afraid of snakes (now, I don’t remember that being in the movies, but it hold true on her Indiana Jones Lego PS2 game).  That being said, there is a whole new round of toys this year with the Indiana Jones franchise.

All I can say about the Indiana Jones Giant Radio Controlled Ant is that it is ugly and creepy — you know, just like real ants.  Oh yeah, and its huge.  Personally, I hate ants which I think is what is the big appeal for this toy.  In Indiana Jones, and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Indy faces a swarm of deadly ants.  Its for ages six and up.  However, the controller is quite large, and it isn’t too difficult to control.  This even comes with a field notebook with ant facts!

The Indiana Jones Room Booby Trap is for siblings who just can’t seem to stay out of each others way.  This has a set of booby traps you can use in your house to help one defend against nosy friends and siblings.  The best part of this toy is that they are learning about gears and levers with this, and they have no idea!  Who knew booby traps could be a learning experience?

Indiana Jones Crystal Skull Adventure Projector is one freaky looking projector.  However, it works a lot better than you would expect.  The video that shines on your walls comes from its glowing eye (and it is as weird looking as you can imagine).  With this, you get to join Professor Jones on several archaeological discoveries and famous scenes from the movies.   This projector includes an audio track, so you can hear about all sorts of famous discoveries while you are watching.  You get the base, a projector, a booklet, slides, and an audio CD.

If you have any Indiana Jones fans in your house, these are some definite toys you need to be checking out for this holiday season!

Ever have a diaper that you know just works for your kids? I do. They are called Pampers Swaddlers. We started using these when Madison was little. Madison was my beanpole child (still is). It was hard to find diapers that I could get tight around her waist yet not be cutting off her circulation. It seemed to an uphill battle. If the the top of the diaper was not tight, she had a constant leaking problem. That was until we discovered the Pamper Swaddlers. These diapers have flexible sides so you are able to pull the diaper as tight as needed yet still give your children the flexibility to be able to move such as children do (might I add that I have monkey children who roll to get across rooms, climb up everything, etc).

Now Madison is 3, and we don’t need diapers for her anymore. However, Will was born in June, and I knew what diapers we were going to go back to using. I let Bill talk me into buying other brands and even the store brand! Guess what?!?! They leaked. Now, Will isn’t the beanpole that Madison was. Yet, we still have leaking issues. However, once we got the Pampers Swaddlers again this hasn’t been an issue at all. I like that the diapers grow in size with your children. You are able to purchase them in the regular sizes such as 1, 2, 3 and so on. However, they even make the in between sizes where your child isn’t quite ready for the next size even though according to their weight they are. You are able to also purchase the sizes 1-2 and 2-3. I know this, because I have done it myself.

I took pictures of this handsome gentleman last night in his Pamper Swaddlers:

I am not sure if you can tell, but the top of Swaddlers have Elmo on them. The diapers have all of the Sesame Street characters on them. They definitely are children friendly.

In my opinion, buying these diapers is a no brainer. They have worked wonderfully with both of my kids to stop leaks. They do their job even when your kids are peeing machines and little monkeys (why do both my kid fit that description a little too well?). I know there are a ton of products out there, but the Pamper Swaddlers are definitely worth every cent.

You all know my fascination with T-shirts with great sayings on them. Well, Monkey Groupie Tees & More is another place I can get my fix. Not only do they have an easily navigable site, they have some great T-shirts as well. I personally love this one:

It makes me laugh. Now, they have a ton of sayings to pick from. The part I absolutely love about this site is that once you pick your saying, you have several options of what to do. You can get a T-shirt in several different styles and colors. You are also able to get boxer short, hats, sticker, coffee mugs, and thongs. They are reasonably priced too. Also, make sure you check out the product information on each shirt. It tells you the thickness of the shirts and how it should fit you. For example, my shirt should be: Not too tight, not too loose. Love it!

I also like this shirt for Madison:

You can even get that in a onsie, a teddy bear, a magnet, and a ton of other stuff.

This is your one stop shop for all your needs. They carry babies, kids, adults, and plus size T-shirts. I highly recommend checking them out.
