Making a Chicken Coop for Easter ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01199

Apparently Target has decided that because people make Gingerbread houses for Christmas that there should be various other holiday houses to make and so for Easter they had a bunny hutch and a chicken coop that you could make and decorate. I know how much Andy likes to decorate things so I picked up the chicken coop for him to do. He made it today when we got down to the The Cape.

I decided to take him for a few days before everyone came down for Easter so that we could spend some time together and so that he could spend some time with his grandparents and aunt before everyone else came down. We drove down and spent the afternoon with everyone. I picked up some Paul’s Pizza for dinner for Andy, Dad and myself. Tara went to Estia for pizza for herself and my mom. After dinner we watched the movie Back to the Outback. Andy and Auntie Tara really enjoyed it because of the ties to Australia.

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.
