Spirit Week : Anything But A Backpack Day ...

Anything But A Backpack Day

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02480

Last year for Anything but a Backpack day Andy took a giant inflatable treasure chest to school as a backpack. Today Andy picked something more... practical. This year Andy was helping me move all of my Transformers to be sold and noticed the old mini shopping cart that the kids had for the play kitchen. Andy tucked tha knowledge away for today to use that as their means to cart around all their books. It was a rainy day and that looks like it would be a pain in the neck to push all the way to school and back so I dropped Andy off in the morning and picked Andy up in the afternoon.

When I picked Andy up I was parked on the opposite side of the curved driveway to the school so I could look out my side window and see the kids coming out to their cars. I see Andy tearing along pushing their cart. I suddenly see Andy's legs straight up in the air. Andy had pushed the cart full tilt into a bump in the sidewalk and flipped over the handle bar of the cart. I kept scanning to see if Andy would get back up, a car was in my way. Andy did hop back up and shout that they were okay and then proceeded to lift up the cart and walk it the rest of the way to the car.

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.
