Building The LEGO NES

Andy finished building the LEGO NES set today. They really liked how you can rotate the screen and the little mario character goes through the level. It was a great design. It was also rather complex but Andy had no trouble building it. I have to find a good place to display it in my office now. Not sure if I have the room but I’ll figure out something.

christmas candy

This afternoon I decided to try out a recipe that I found on tik tok. I made a christmas candy out of peanuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, pretzels and more. I put everything into a crock pot for 2 hours then stirred it together. Then let it continue in the crock pot for another 1/2 hour and then I spooned the mixture onto Pretzels. The photo is actually of all the rest of it pressed into a brownie pan. That we can cut into squares of the candy. It came out really nice. Super tasty.

Andy’s LEGO Voltron

Andy has been rewatching Voltron Legendary Defender and is playing more and more with their LEGO bricks. Today Andy decided to make a Voltron out of LEGO bricks. I think that they did a really nice job of it, too. This was a quickly put together thing but still looks cool.

Over the weekend we cleaned up some of the toys int he living room. We actually removed all of them some we packed away like the Ninja Turtles and Hot Wheels but others we sent off to Savers. We had four Voltron toys and Andy packed them up to give to their friend Dasia. Of course I wasn’t thinking and the toys were two play swords and two play masks. Dasia’s mom had to come and pick up the gift because they were toy weapons. Completely harmless and clearly fantasy toys but still weapons. I’ll have to apologize to her when I see her next.
