When You Have No Christmas Cookies ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01087

I received mugs and hot chocolate as promotional materials for the movie 8-Bit Christmas. I really enjoyed this movie and I am a fan of hot chocolate. I do prefer to have cookies with my hot chocolate but nothing in the house really fit the bill. Eva had made chocolate chip cookies a week and a half ago and even I wasn’t up for them. Plus there were only espresso chip left. I had picked up some of the Gingerbread Oreos and once you scrape out the middle of those they are halfway decent but they just weren’t going to do it for me. I opted for an option that does not go with hot chocolate. I decided on Cheez-Its because I had a craving for those and had bought them on Monday. However, the kids had been tearing through them and I wanted to make sure I got some. So, hence the combination.

Wasn’t half bad.

Today Eva and Allison and I went to see Spider-Man: no Way Home. Andy stayed with Miss. Colleen and Shamrock. They had a nice time. Eva had a great time watching Spider-Man. We talked about the movie on the way home and despite not seeing any of the Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies she enjoyed seeing them in this movie. I loved how they each had pivotal parts to play in the conclusion. I loved the moment with Andrew Garfield and M.J. I definitely teared up on that one. It was a fun movie to watch together.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
