Did We Get Them All?


Photo-A-Day #3149

It has been a busy week around here. After Last Week’s unfortunate water issue with the outside sprinklers My Dad came over a couple of days this week to help me flush the lines and also clean up a bunch of the leaves and overgrown jungle of a yard.

Together we stuffed 32 of the 30 gallon lawn waste bags with leaves and sticks and you name it. The yard looks 100% better and this coming year the focus is to actually get a lawn growing in the back yard so that the kids have a nice place to play.

The next project for me is to clean out the garage once the city comes to pick up all the leaves. That way we can get Allison’s car into the garage when it snows and I can take the racks off my car. I’m pretty sure no more kayaking for me this year.

Video Game Review: LEGO Friends

LEGO Friends Box Art

I was sent a copy of LEGO Friends for the Nintendo 3DS to play and review. Opinions of the game are 100% my own.

In our house we enjoy LEGO. We enjoy building from the LEGO sets and we enjoy the LEGO based video games. We’ve played the Batman 2, LEGO city Undercover and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on the Wii and Wii U. I liked LEGO city so much I bought the 3DS game when it came out. Those games are great and fun but Eva wasn’t as interested in playing them. She liked building Super Hero LEGO sets with me but really enjoys the LEGO Friends line. Now she can enjoy the LEGO friends as a game on the Nintendo 3DS. Here’s a quick game overview.
