Wiped Out by a Super Busy Day

Andrew and his painting
Photo-A-Day #4195

Today was one of those really nice days. Andrew and I headed off to school and it was picture day for him. He looked so handsome and ready to be photographed. I have finally discovered how to get him to smile at me. I just tell him that he can’t smile at me. When I do that then he does nothing but give me gigantic smiles and he even looks at me. This kid always does the opposite of what I ask when I ask it. However, to start out the day, he was the one who asked to make a video on the way to school.

While he was in school I went to the gym and took a trip over to Walmart and Toys R Us. At Walmart I did not find any Marvel Hot Wheels cars but they did have some Star Wars themed cars. These were in a large $0.94 bin and the cars are themed for the different planets in the Star Wars Universe. There are eight in all and I think that they are numbered by how we chronologically see each of these planets in the Star Wars history.

I also picked up the Disney Infinity figures, Nemo, Alice and the Mad Hatter. Eva would later inform me that today was #MadHatterDay. That is such a strange coincidence.

So, I pick up Andrew and he immediately noticed the Nemo figure and decided that he wanted to play Disney Infinity today. I had a video to work on which I will link to later. So, Andrew played and then he got tired of it he let me know and I told him that it was time for a little quiet time in his room. He had the option of playing quietly or resting. He must have been tired because he fell asleep, hard. I felt really bad about having to wake him up later on, but we had to go and pick Eva up from school. Allison had a party to attend after school and so we had to pick up Eva. Luckily it was Buddy Week at Karate and she was able to try it out. She was very apprehensive about it at first but once she got going she had a great time. The kids were both on their best behavior and Eva had such focus. She expressed that she would like to take karate now. If only her schedule would allow it. I think that she would be a natural. She;s so determined. Her skills would need lots of work but her enthusiasm and determination are excellent.

Sick Bricks 3-In-1 Power-Up Playset


Photo-A-Day #3640

A couple of weeks ago I got into Sick Bricks. It is a fun game where you try and help the citizens of Sick City defeat Overlord Omega. Overlord Omega is trying to stop the citizens of Sick City from interacting with each other. He’s trying to bring order to the chaos and that isn’t going to fly. After playing the game for a while I went all in and got the toys that are out. I had pre-ordered many of them from Toys R Us and have no idea why they were on pre-order when they had already been released. I was at Target today and saw all the items that I pre-ordered and did some quick math to see that I could get them for a cheaper amount so I bought them at Target and cancelled the order at Toys R Us. Then I got a message saying that some of the items on my order were removed because they were out of stock. That seems to always be an issue with Toys R Us and pre-orders. It is strange to see items that are already in the store ending up as pre-orders. Continue reading Sick Bricks 3-In-1 Power-Up Playset
