Adventuring for the Day

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00469

We had an unexpected day off today. Fr. Rodney gave the school Easter Monday off which was a total surprise to everyone this morning. So, with a day off the kids got to doing all sorts of things.

Eva has been busily writing an adventure for us in Tiny Dungeon. She’s written 6 pages of a story and today we played that story. Her creativity extended into making a map for the game as well. Eva kept us entertained for a better part of a couple of hours as we created characters and played through this adventure of hers. She even created a special race of beings for Andy. They are Narwhalians. Andy made this character out of clay to represent his playable character in the game.

Later in the afternoon Andy had his karate class and then I had my Krav Maga class. Two front kicks into class the heavy bag when flying off its ring and crashed onto the floor. The hook that had been holding it in place bent so bad that it could no longer hold the bag up. I guess that hook wasn’t made to take the punishment of COVID isolation Krav Maga. I set about finding a suitable replacement because I do not like punching the air.

Allison found some great fabric for the masks that she has been making. She found some Marvel Super Heroes fabric and has made masks for everyone in the house. She continues to learn how to make them better and better. We also found a stash of fabric in the basement that had been tablecloths for when she sold Barefoot Books. We recycled those into the inside fabric of the masks so that you always knew what side was facing out.

We had a terrible wind storm today and many branches came down from the tree. Luckily they were just some dead ones and nothing really large.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
