Building The LEGO NES

Andy finished building the LEGO NES set today. They really liked how you can rotate the screen and the little mario character goes through the level. It was a great design. It was also rather complex but Andy had no trouble building it. I have to find a good place to display it in my office now. Not sure if I have the room but I’ll figure out something.

christmas candy

This afternoon I decided to try out a recipe that I found on tik tok. I made a christmas candy out of peanuts, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, pretzels and more. I put everything into a crock pot for 2 hours then stirred it together. Then let it continue in the crock pot for another 1/2 hour and then I spooned the mixture onto Pretzels. The photo is actually of all the rest of it pressed into a brownie pan. That we can cut into squares of the candy. It came out really nice. Super tasty.

Chocolate Chip Cookie House

I was at Five Below and I saw that they had a chocolate chip cookie “gingerbread” house. I picked it up for Andy to build. Andy found it on Sunday morning and has been itching to build it ever since. They built it today. I took this photo of that tonight via candlelight as we had no power.

There was a very big wind storm that happened and because of that we lost our power today. We did well to not open the fridge and kept warm with lots of blankets. It not only got windy but it also got rather cold. I lost a bunch more limbs off the tree. Nothing too huge but plenty of decent sized ones came down.
