Andy's Last Day of School 2024 ...

Kid Holding Sign

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01985

Yesterday Andy went to school in two different flannel designs and sleep pants. Today I went to make sure that they were ready to go and Andy's laying in their bed in a full on suit. Andy decided that it would be funny to wear a suit on their last day of 6th grade. I can't argue there, it was funny. I laughed pretty good when I saw this. Andy's teachers noticed and one called Andy "dapper". So that is good. Another good thing was that we got Andy's report card today and Andy had all A's. Andy worked very hard this year and it was a great decision to move them over to public school. Andy has been thriving there.


This afternoon we went to the movies as a family to see Inside Out 2. We loved the first movie and Andy had asked if we could see this on the last day of school. so, I got tickets and we went. The movie was a very good sequel to the original. The main character, Riley, is growing up and so in addition to the emotions from the first movie we get a host of new ones that came in just in time for Riley to hit puberty. There were some great moments in the movie and I completely laughed out loud several times. And I definitely teared up at the end. Very well done.

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.
