Fire Trucks!

Andrew at the Fireman Event
Photo-A-Day #4174

Andrew was back to school today. He was feeling better and so excited to get back to his class. He loves going to his class every day. I am glad that he enjoys it so much. I am also glad that he was back so that I could hit the gym.

After the gym I ran over to Walmart because I had ordered a few LEGO Dimensions packs. These were the last two LEGO Dimensions sets that I had to collect for Year One. Andrew has been enjoying building all the sets with me. When I picked him up he took a look at the sets. He told me that he could not possibly build the Jurassic Park dinosaur because it looked too hard. He has no problem following the directions. He’ll be able to build this one, too.

I also stopped by Target and picked up some popcorn because Andrew wanted a movie day. He wanted to have a movie day yesterday when he was home but we played LEGO Dimensions for the afternoon. It wasn’t until later that night that he realized that we did not watch a movie. He was upset. I calmed him down and let him know that after school today we could watch a movie. He chose the movie and picked Andrew Birds.

So, movie day was in my mind and I completely forgot that we were going to meet Uncle Howard to go and check out the Emergency Vehicles over at Greenwood Emergency Vehicles. Andrew was a bit sleepy and took some time to warm up. After he went into his first Ambulance he was fascinated and liked learning about all of the vehicles and what they could do from Uncle Howard. The place that we went to, Greenwood, was having an open house with food from Firefly, a great BBQ place. I had some ribs and chicken and a hot dog on the way out, because Andrew wanted a second one. I also have no pictures of Andrew and I there because I leaned up against a table while cutting up Andrew’s hot dog and got BBQ sauce all over my best pair of shorts. We had a fun time despite that. Andrew loved the big trucks and all that they could do. At one point he ran back to one of the trucks he had already been in and told me that he wanted Uncle Howard to explain more about it to him.

My LEGO Dimensions Obsession Continues

My LEGO Dimensions Collection
Photo-A-Day #4172

My LEGO Dimensions Collection continues to grow. I went out and picked up all of the first year sets. The last two are sitting at Walmart awaiting my pick up. I have yet to open so many of them, I’m doing a one at a time to stretch things out and also let Andrew go and build them. He loves building them. We’ll probably build a bunch tomorrow because the little guy is sick.

Andrew had been pretty tired yesterday when we went to Karate class. He fell asleep on the way over. Today he was a little out of it when we went to to lunch with my Dad. Andrew wouldn’t talk to him, then he laid down on the bench and said that he was cold. He refused to eat. I chalked it up to being tired. He fell asleep a second after we left Bliss where we had lunch with my father. Then he slept for an hour and a half after that. He didn’t eat dinner either and so we checked him out and he had a fever. No school for him tomorrow.

I also received my Kickstarter rewards from the most recent Modarri campaign. I opted for the DELUX S2 MUSCLE SET which has a wicked fastback Muscle car in green. I’m also part of the Quarter Car Club, which is a way to get a quarter of a car each month. It is a special Kickstarter car. I like funding these guys because their product is solid.

I am also going to unbox some Funko Pops for Arrow and Flash soon. Arrow, Flash and Black Canary. I love those shows. Can’t wait till they return.

And speaking of LEGO Dimensions, you know from the first paragraph, I have pre-ordered some sets like the A-Team Fun Pack and the Harry Potter Team Pack, but I also ordered the E.T. Fun Pack. E.T. is featured in the latest, Meet That Hero! video. Supergirl, who is an exclusive to the Sony Playstation 4 Starter Pack. I’d really like to get that figure. I’d also like to get my hands on the E3 exclusive Green Arrow figure. That figure is voiced by Chris Hardwick! How cool is that. Anyway, here is the video for E.T. in LEGO Dimensions.
