Reading Time in the Dojo

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00752

While we were at Karate this afternoon Andy read from one of his kids graphic novels. This one is all about Black Canary. He was really excited to read it and he’s been doing a great job of reading while Eva is training. We don’t allow Andy or Eva to bring in electronics to the dojo. Andy got a bunch of great DC Kids comics recently and he’s been pouring through all of them. He’s now on The Black Canary. Even Eva wants to read it. There is another book on the way that is a STEM themed book that is being curated by Mayim Bialik from The Big Bang Theory. It is called Flash Facts where the different DC characters talk about STEM topics. We’ll be reviewing that soon.

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...

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. 

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.
