Jennifer's 365 Project

He's almost always this happy in the morning. It makes getting ready for work easy when you have a happy face to look at.

 Hooray for Chris's birthday! We enjoyed some delicious birthday cake together after dinner.
Quinn even had some as well!

The costume didn't slow him down at all. He still ran around crazy on overload, enjoying all of the kids and play areas.
Chris had a pretty good time as well. We let Quinn stop at several play areas, which we don't usually do, which gave us both a nice break.
And the zoo decorations were pretty cute. I'm looking forward to going again next year!

Today is Grand Rapids Comic Con! Since it's local, it's an easy show for us to pop in and out of. We headed down in the morning for their opening.

We visited Comfort and Adam's booth while we were in the area.
 As well as Corinne Robert's booth.
 Quinn had a great time with all of the costumes everywhere.
And he was able to have some fun with a plethora of lego wheels laid out at a toy table. As a special bonus he napped over two and a half hours, so I'd say this day was a success!

Hooray for fun at the library during story time!

I kind of hope Quinn gets into these little guys.

We've reached that stage...

All the smiles!

I finished up a pendant I programmed for the Grand Rapids Comic Con this weekend. It's an Adafruit Gemma with a small battery soldered to an 8x8 LED matrix. It flips through a few different Justice League logos in a few different colors. Originally I had tried to program some different Zelda icons but a lot of them looked wonky on such a small grid.

Quinn's arc reactor for his Iron Man suit is mostly done but we'll see if I can actually use it. He  seemed uncomfortable with the costume since it has fake muscles and is puffy. So I may end up saving the arc reactor I soldered awhile back for another year if he truly won't wear the costume. 20 months is kind of pushing it expecting him not to grab a blinking light anyway.

I'm ready for this election to be over. Is it election day yet?

 A co-worker of mine is got married today! She had a lovely ceremony and the reception was in her awesome backyard.
She had awesome food, there was good company, and everyone looked like they were having a great time.
Quinn had a fantastic time running around her huge yard and being chased by Chris.

I really like how large a single emoticon will appear on the screen when you get messages. If you scroll back at a later date it's smaller, but the first time it pops up it's big - which makes it easy to see at a glance.

I love this watch. Seriously.
