Trepidation Awaits

Trepidation
Photo-A-Day #4164

Andrew’s day was all about starting off full of nervousness and trepidation. We had Open House at his Kindergarten class this morning and he wasn’t feeling that great about it. The feelings started last night. He told Allison and I that his stomach hurt. There was no upset stomach, just nervous about something new. And… as I expected, we were the last ones to leave the Open House. He didn’t want to go. He’s so excited to go back tomorrow.

Later tonight I took Andrew to his first real karate class. He was crying and pushing into me. He wouldn’t talk to the kids that he knew and he was just so upset. I talked calmly with him and we tried again. Then the Sensei came over and took Andrew under his wing. Andrew got right on to the mat and tried really hard during his lesson. When it was over he couldn’t wait to go back. This is what today was like.

In today’s vlog I talk about all that but also do some unboxing of some Star Wars Funko Pop figures and a set of Star Wars Hot Wheels that I found. These were some great toys that I was excited to find and unbox. The Pops were from Barnes & Noble and a bunch of gift cards that I had. They have a large selection of all sorts of pop culture items. In addition to Star Wars they also have a whole Harry Potter section of Pops and much more.

King Richard’s Faire Was Cancelled. What Did We Do?

LEGO Dimensions Time
Photo-A-Day #4163

For the first time ever, in our experience, King Richard’s Faire got cancelled on a day that we were planning to go. With the possibility of high winds and rain the Faire was cancelled for today. Unfortunately for me, it was pretty much the only day I could go. I hope to get there with the family at some point this year, but we’ll see.

So, instead we started the day with breakfast over at Bliss Bros. Dairy. I knew the kids would be disappointed that we weren’t going, so a fun breakfast out might ease the disappointment. The kids were good and they had a nice time. They were very well behaved, too.

We got home and Eva dug out her Drabbit that she won last year at the Faire. Andrew wanted his, too and I got it for him. They then played with them for a while and it made them feel better about missing the Faire.

I also let them open LEGO Dimensions fun packs and play the game with me. Andrew opened Superman and Eva opened Unikitty. We’re enjoying this game more and more.

I got some outdoor work done including cutting back the Wisteria, mowing the lawn and more.

In today’s vlog I mention my friend, Justin Connors. He had a photo of his go viral and I wanted to help spread the word. So check it out and check out his vlog at https://www.youtube.com/user/Lifein140.
