LEGO Dimensions Packs
Photo-A-Day #4185

Today LEGO Dimensions released a whole bunch of new sets as part of Wave 6. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment sent me a couple of packs for free to review. They are the Ghostbusters Story Pack and the Mission Impossible Level Pack. I also pre-ordered the B.A. Baracus Fun Pack and the Harry Potter Team Pack. I was planning on getting everything up and ready to go today and do some unboxing videos but I forgot that I had to update the software and that takes some time. Once I did that then I had to download the level packs. Because Tuesdays are crazy busy all around I did not end up with videos made.

Once we got home from all the errands I played a little on the Wii U Gamepad while the kids watched TV. I think I have to go and play with the full TV on next time so I can see everything. I seemed to be missing out on some things. So, tomorrow I’ll be making the videos. In the meantime you can see my vlog from today and after the jump you can read about all the new things with LEGO Dimensions Year 2.

Book, Photo-A-Day, Read To Me Dad, Vlog

Book Delivery: Moana Books and a New Mo Willems Book

Book Delivery: Moana Books and a New Mo Willems Book
Photo-A-Day #4177

Today I received five new books in the mail. These were from Disney-Hyperion and I received them for free. I’ll be doing an actual review of them close to when the movie, Moana is released. I wouldn’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Four of the books were for the movie Moana and the fifth book is a new one from Mo Willems. We love Mo Willems in this house. The new book, Nanette’s Baguette (affiliate link) is a funny story about a young girl off to buy her first baguette on her own. This will be out in stores on October 25th for $17.99. I love this little blurb about the book.

“Set in a meticulously handcrafted-paper-modeled French village, the uniquely vibrant laugh-out-loud world of Nanette’s Baguette may be Mo’s best creation yet. Get set to krack into an irresistible tale you won’t soon forget!“

The other four books are related to the movie Moana. There is a beautiful children’s picture book, a coloring book, a story book with a CD and a young adult novelization of the movie. These are all beautiful books and they make me even more excited for the movie to be released on November 23, 2016. One of the books, The Story of Moana: A Tale of Courage and Adventure (affiliate link), is something that I know Eva is going to want to read. I want to read it as well but I want to be surprised by the movie.
