Modeling Her New Hat

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00980

We headed home from Connecticut today. We drove up 195 to Wareham to meet my parents and pick up the kids. We enjoyed a lunch at Red Robin and then headed home. It was good to see Mom and Dad and enjoy lunch together. The kids had a great time visiting with them. Andy and Eva both got to spend time with their grandparents, cousins and also their friends. Andy made a new friend, too. They told us all about it at lunch. Andy also did a lot of training with Eva to work at earning his white and blue stripes at karate. This past Thursday he did not earn his white stripe because his details were not up to par. So he was very disappointed but Mr. Brochu talked with him and reassured him that we all believed in him and given some practice he could not only earn his white stripe but his blue stripe this coming week. Andy handled it very well and he practiced with Eva each day that we were away. Mr. Brochu allowed us to record the form so that Andy could work from that as he practiced.

Before we left the hotel I had to get a photo of what the hotel looked like. We had taken the kids on a Facetime tour of the room that made them laugh like crazy. It was rather ridiculous, but it was clean and not a bad place overall.

When we got home Allison had to dye Eva’s hair to a more acceptable and natural color for school. So, as the air color set in we watched Avengers: Endgame because that was the last big movie that Eva had not seen in order to be up on all things Marvel. She does still have to watch Spider-Man: Far from Home but that is more stand alone overall. She can get to that later. She had to see Endgame before Shang-Chi, however. Afterwards she began watching Wandavision and I figure she’ll tear through all those shows pretty quickly.

In order to keep the color from getting on everything we had to put Eva’s hair in a plastic bag. She modeled her new hat for us.

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.
