Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00483

While we are homebound during the quarantine there are some things that we have been doing to pass the time. The kids have been doing some silly food stuff. They have been taking turns picking foods for each other to eat while blindfolded. For the most part I think it is another way to sneak in more snacks. They have been pretty nice to each other doing this although Andy did give Eva some cauliflower crackers to try. They are the size and shape of Cheez-Its but they are definitely NOT Cheez-Its. Such an aftertaste! I don’t think we’ve falen quite far enough from decent snacks to choose those if not blindfolded.

Room Organizing

It took a global pandemic but Eva has found that her personal workspace in the house was not cutting it with so much clutter. She has begun to take some really good steps toward having an organized and clean workspace. We have not even been harping on her about it.

Wolf Photo

During April vacation we started working on an escape puzzle. The puzzle was called The Curse of The Wolves Escape Puzzle from Ravensburger. We finished the puzzle today. I had been using my break at work to come downstairs and get a few more pieces added to the puzzle. It was slow going because the puzzle did not look exactly like box art. There were different elements to the image and you were supposed to decipher clues from it to find the solution. I think that the clues should have been much clearer. It was a fun challenge but the escape part wasn’t exactly what we thought it might be. I certainly enjoyed putting it together and am looking forward building our next puzzle.

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.
