Wizards and Sorcerers Birthday

House Gryffindor
Photo-A-Day #4211

Today was Eva’s birthday party. It was a Harry Potter themed party. Allison did a great job with the party. She made floating candles, wands for the kids to paint and a sorting hat ceremony. The kids also watched part of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Eva was so excited about everything all day. She showed such enthusiasm for everything. Her friends and family gave her some great gifts and many were Harry Potter themed. She just loves the series so much and reading the books is one of her favorite things to do. I know that she’s excited to wear her Hermione Granger costume again for Halloween.

After the party we got some pizza and watched the rest of Harry Potter. I was able to take two hours off from work and go in later so I could spend a little extra time at home with the family. Then it was time for showers and baths for the kids and I went to my office and opened up one of the TWO Marvel Collector Corps Doctor Strange boxes. for some strange reason I had two boxes sent to me. The weird thing is that the order numbers are sequential but when I go to my account there is only the one order for one of those order numbers. I tried looking up the other order number but I could not. I have no idea how that happened. So, I unboxed the one box and inside there were some great items. There was a Doctor Strange mug, tshirt, exclusive comic book cover and an exclusive Funko Pop of Doctor strange in his astral form levitating so the cloak of levitation is what is actually holding him up. It is a really great pop, although I think I would have preferred the Blue of the comic than the yellow of the movie for the Pop!. There was also a Doctor Strange Patch and an eye of Agamotto pin in the box. It was a pretty decent box, too. I now have most of the Doctor Strange related Pops that have been released.

A Carvershire Birthday at King Richard’s Faire

A Carvershire Birthday
Photo-A-Day #4199

Today was Eva’s 9th birthday and we celebrated by going to King Richard’s Faire. That was after I had taken Eva for our yearly birthday breakfast. This was the first time in three years where it went off without a hitch. No flat tires, no conflicting plans. Just a nice breakfast with Eva.

Then we went to King Richard’s Faire as a family. We were provided free tickets to the event in exchange for coverage of the event and a review. Opinions of the event are 100% our own, and it is something that we have done for the past 5 years as a family and we’ve made some nice friends at the Faire. Eva was greeted with a birthday song from the residents of Carvershire. We were also there with our good friends, The Walkers. We started off our adventure at the Princess school and the kids had a great time. Andrew built a block castle and played card tricks with a young man. Eva and Rose enjoyed their time with the princesses.

We then went and saw the Mis-Adventures Swashbuckling, Swords & Hilarity show, which was so much fun. The kids got to go up on stage and have some fun. We do like this show, it is very cute and funny. Some good humor for the parents and for the kids.

We checked out the Imaginarium Galleries after this because that is where we got the kids’ Drabbits last year. They love these adorable little puppets and wanted to see more of them. We were happy to see that they have a larger space this year and it is more permanent.

I took mostly video this year to make the daily vlog
