Dungeon Crawler Carl Merch ...

Photo-A-Day #02828 I've been re-listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and found an artist online who has some great items. I got a sticker for my water bottle (not pictured but looks like the gauntlet pin), a sticker for my car and also two pins. Re-listening to the book has been a lot of fun. I'm picking up on so many things that I missed the first time around. This is the sort of series that a repeated re-read/re-listen is very helpful in understanding the whole crazy set of events. I may even meet some crawlers in the wild because of my bumper sticker.

Family Paint By Numbers ...

Photo-A-Day #02827 Allison bought a set of paint by number paintings for us to do together for our living room. Unfortunately the whole thing was about the size of an 8X10 image. These were very very small and difficult to paint. But the kids and Allison gave it a try. I pretty much said no thanks and painted it the way I wanted to because there was no way I could paint something that small accurately. It was a nice activity. We did this and then went to Bliss for lunch before Allison and I dropped Eva off at the train station so they could head back to school.

Eva's First Weekend Home From College ...

Photo-A-Day #02826 Eva came home from college on Friday night for the holiday weekend. It also happened to be Eva's birthday weekend. I was at the office that night and also at the office on Saturday night. So, I was not able to spend that much time with Eva. However, I did take Eva for breakfast on Saturday morning to continue our yearly tradition of a birthday breakfast together.  Tonight we had a meal of Eva's choosing to celebrate their birthday. Eva chose steak and roasted potatoes for dinner and wanted whoopie pies instead of a cake. Andy and Allison made the whoopie pies and Andy added the birthday candles to the pile. I grilled the steak that we all enjoyed. It has been really nice having Eva back home for the first time. Allison was able to spend some extra time with Eva and when Andy came home from the football game on Friday they also got to spend time with Eva. It was a nice time for everyone.

Eva's Birthday Breakfast 2026 ...

Photo-A-Day #02825 Eva is home for the holiday weekend and also their birthday. Of course this is a weekend where I have to hold everything down at work because Shaun is off in AZ. When I came home from work I took Eva over to Morin's to enjoy a breakfast together. This has been our tradition for so many years. We've had great breakfasts and crazy ones like mini donuts in a Cumberland Farms parking lot. It was great to have some time to chat one on one with Eva, too. 

My New Dungeon Crawler Carl Shirt ...

Photo-A-Day #02824 I saw this Dungeon Crawler Carl t-shirt on Tik Tok and it is one of the coolest one's I have ever seen because it encapsulates so much that I love like this series and video games. Making Carl and Donut pixelated like they were in Super Mario Bros looks so cool. Maybe when I wear it around I may run into other "crawlers" these are fellow readers of the books.

A Pumpkin Patch of Pretzels ...

Photo-A-Day #02823 We've been making some pumpkin themed pretzels at Philly Pretzel Factory. Some look like pumpkins and others look like jack-o-lanterns. We put out a special of 4 of these and some pumpkin dips. We made some cinnamon style and some salted style, too.

New Graphic Novel ...

Photo-A-Day #02822 Today while I was at the comic book store I noticed that they had a collected set of the comic D'orc. I'd been thinking about picking up the comic for me and for Andy. It was an interesting comic. The main character is a half orc/half dwarf. The story is interesting and weird and I think Andy will love it.
