Today I got super serious about getting the office cleaned out today. I spent a few hours getting everything together. I got a box to give away stuff at work, a box for a giveaway to savers, a bag of odds and ends wires to go to Best Buy and more. I even took everything off the walls. Yes, it is time to get serious about getting this house listed. working on getting it show ready. I’m tired of seeing houses that we might like get snatched up so quickly without us even getting a chance. I want a chance.

Today was another half day of school for Eva. It seems like when Andrew and I get a moment to get things going at home we have to run off to school. Today we also had to run to Target so today was a special little lunch at Dairy Queen with the kids. They loved getting some food and ice cream. While we were there Eva talked about how she hadn’t had the cherry dip in forever. It made me think of the first time I ever took her to Dairy Queen back in 2009. She was about 1 1/2 and I just let her enjoy the heck out of the cone. She made a huge mess. It was great.

At Target we found some items for Andrew’s birthday party. He want’s a Dory themed party. Eva wants a Harry Potter themed one. We’ve got a lot of ideas for the party. Eva even asks for some suggestions in today’s video. That is right before my phone falls off the mount. Whoops. We kept it running.

During my office cleaning I found my last Skylanders SuperChargers figure for my collection. I decided that it was time to unbox it and complete the collection. Just in time to start on skylanders Imaginators. I’m really looking forward to that one to be released.

Review: The IDO3D Vertical 3D Drawing Pens

IDO3D VerticalWe review the IDO3D Vertical 3D Drawing Pens. We received this from RedwoodVentures for free in order to play with and provide an honest review. Opinions are 100% my own.

The IDO3D Vertical was a fun experiment with the kids. They had a nice time creating all sorts of things. Eva filled up the plastic mold for a face of a character instead of using the outside. She wanted to make a cauldron because she has been reading Harry Potter and so that was a big influence on her creations. She also made a wand. Andrew was way more freeform in his creating. He went vertical and created some fun things.

I think that the IDO3D Vertical would be great for an older kid. Eva is at the right age to start using this but Andrew needs a few more years to really get the hand of it. It is a nice product for kids to get crazy creative. It does take some finesse and practice but it was still fun for the kids.

Here is the official description of the IDO3D Vertical and then our video review: IDO3D Vertical enables children to draw and sculpt in mid-air using cool 3D ink that turns from liquid to solid instantly! Kids can use the familiar form factor of a pen to draw numerous designs, either from their own imagination or from the 3D Guidebooks that are included with each set. IDO3D Vertical includes a variety of colors, themes and activity packs.
