Tracing a Masterpiece

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00778

Eva is an interesting one. She’s perfectly fine being surrounded by the debris of her room and when she wants to work on something and create she just moves a pile from here to there. She also creates how she likes. I walked into her room and she was sitting on her desk. This is her preferred method of using the desk. Only when she is in a class do I see her actually sitting on a chair at the desk.

So, she’s sitting on her desk and drawing on the window. That is actually not correct, she using the light from the window to trace something for whatever she is creating next. She explained that she does not have a lightboard. However, she does have one, a Crayola one from years ago, but she likes her own methods much better.

Allison was away overnight with a couple of friends. So, I had the kids tonight to myself and we got pizza and watched The Princess Bride. Allison does not like the movie and now, neither does Andy. He was doing fine with it most of the way through but when Inigo gets stabbed by the Count Andy lost it. He hates seeing anything like that. And when that happens in a movie he freaks out and runs away. I had forgotten that part. He managed to pull it together with the help of his sister and we finished the movie after that scene was over.

After Andy went to bed Eva wanted me to watch another movie with her, Love Simon. This is her favorite movie and she wanted to share it with me. It was quite good. She explained that she watches the Marvel movies with me because I like them and she wanted me to watch one that she liked. I’m always willing to check out new movies with her.

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.
