I brought home a nice big bag of toys from Toy Fair. Today I determined which ones would go with me to work and which ones would stay home and ultimately wind up in the hands of the kids. The photo is of the few items I brought to my office to now live on my desk. I’ve got a paleontologist from Playmobil complete with a little dinosaur friend. There are a couple of Smurfs there, Hefty and Handy as well as a Kre-O Transformers figure and some Slugterra Slugs. I didn’t want to go too crazy,. I’m running out of desk space as it is.
I did record a video though of all the cool stuff I got from Toy Fair.
As part of my Ambassadorship with YesVideo I was given a gift card so that I could use the service through CVS Pharmacy. I brought 8 8mm film reels to the pharmacy, they contained footage from various early events in my life like my first Christmas, my Christening and more. If I ever actually saw these on 8mm the memory of that is very fuzzy. What I did recognize while watching the DVD was that we had many photos of those same events. So in addition to the 8mm camera my parents also shot still of these events as well. While the technology of capturing memories may have changed over the years it is nice to know that my kids will also have video and stills from the major holidays and events of their lives. They’ll just have a crazy amount to pour over when they grow up.
So I unboxed, or rather unbagged my DVD from YesVideo and here it is
