Daily Vlog – Power Disc & Funko Pop Frenzy

All the colors of the car wash
Photo-A-Day #3945

Andrew and I did some major running around today with errands ranging from buying Funko Pops, to getting the car washed, to picking up a new cable box. We did manage to have some fun, too and he got in a nap, lucky.

I dropped Andrew at school and hit the gym. I popped over to Target afterwards. I found some more Disney Infinity Power Discs for $1.50 and picked them up. I then headed to pick up Andrew. I got him from school and we turned right back around to go towards the Xfinity store. But first we stopped for lunch and a car wash.

Andrew enjoys going through the car wash with me. He loves the colors as you can see from the photo above. The car wash that we go to for a quick clean actually moves around the car and it is really freaky. You think that you are moving but it is just the washer around you. The first time I was in there I put it in reverse and backed up. It freaked me out. Andrew and I had a little discussion about it on the vlog.

After the car wash we had some Chinese food at House of Fortune, our favorite place. We had a nice meal together, he was very good.

We then headed over to the Xfinity store to get that new cable box. It was a small box for the bedroom TV. We almost don’t need one with all the apps and streaming channels that are on the Roku TV but occasionally you want to watch something live. It just stopped working the other day and needed to be replaced. So we walked in and within 3 minutes had a new one and were walking out. Next door was a GameStop and I popped in to see what they may have in the way of Skylanders or Disney Infinity figures. As Luck would have it they had a organizer for the Disney Infinity 2.0 Power Discs that came with a special disc. Since I’ve been picking up all the $1.50 packs I’ve gotten many of the 2.0 Power Discs and needed a place to put them. so I got it, it was on clearance. I also got myself a GameStop Exclusive Funko Pop Black Widow and Andrew bought a Woody from Toy Story Pop. They also had the Force Awakens Play Set Power Discs for 1.2 off and I got those. The woman at the counter then offered me an opened Funko Mystery box for less than 1.2 off. It had an Exclusive Batgirl in it so I got that too. More in the vlog below.

Daily Vlog 27 – Fighting the Clutter

Sharing the Love in Photos
Photo-A-Day #3944

I talke about cleaning up clutter in the vlog but have yet to do much of that at all.

Nothing much to report for today but a regular day around here. Took Andrew to Play Group and then home to make lunch. He made himself his lunch and created an elephant face lunch with Ham, Salami, Pepperoni, and buggy cheese. Buggy cheese is a non dairy cheese that Andrew (sometimes we call him Buggy or Bug) can eat. That cheese is gross but he likes it. I can’t stand the smell at all.

So, we had our lunch and then watched an episode of Noodle and Doodle on Sprout. Next thing I know he’s asking for a big piece of paper and how to write “I Love You So Much!” Then he asked me to take some photos of him. He wanted a photo to put inside of the big card that he was making for Allison. It was very cute and he worked very hard on making it as colorful as possible. He is a thoughtful little guy with an immense heart. He’s the kid at the end of school who goes around the circle and hugs all his classmates. They’ve had to stop doing this because every kid now follows suit. He was also the one who would run back in and tell the kids whose parent was next in line.

As I was looking around my office tonight and recording the daily vlog I thought about how I’d like to straighten it up. I saw this great project that another dad blogger did and I wonder if my back wall would work for this sort of project. Specifically the In-Wall Shelving part of the project. I don’t need any more windows in that room as they’d just point towards my white trash neighbor’s place.
