Time for Trick or Treat 2021

Time for Trick or Treat 2021

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01035

This year’s Halloween was a bit different. I did not take any part of the night off so I did not get to go with the kids trick or treating. They still got to go, however. They went over to our friend’s house and they went trick or treating with them. From the looks of things the kids made out really well on the candy front.

Andy was adorable in his Axolotl costume. He even saw another kid dressed as an axolotl, too. He went trick or treating with the kids and their dad. Eva’s good friend Maryana was trick or treating in the same neighborhood so Eva got to go with her. Eva was super excited because a kid recognized her costume and that her a huge compliment. She couldn’t wait to tell me that that had happened. And Allison got to sip wine with her friend while that all went on.

Andy wanted to light up his pumpkins but we were not handing out candy so we did not leave them lit up. He got to light them for the photo and that is all. When everyone left to go trick or treating I turned off all the lights except for my office. I wouldn’t want to give people any false expectations.

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.
