Jennifer's 365 Project

It's a pretty Halloween-centric Saturday. I finally made a Micky Mouse Halloween sheet for the little one's bed.
We decorated the house with all sorts of spooky and creepy decorations, including a bunch of construction paper bats.
Then we topped off the day with Halloween cookies. Ghosts and pumpkins and more!

He's so excited for Mario Party!

We assembled the OctoCam today. It's nice to finally have a Raspberry Pi Zero W. The few we have don't have wifi so it's nice to have such a tiny board with wifi on it.

We've been practicing making his bed the last few weeks and he's been getting good at it. It's hard with the three crib sides, but he does well.

This is definitely a theme with my work computer.

We finally assembled the cardboard skeleton we'd cut out earlier. He was pretty excited to get it hung up in his bedroom. This kid lives for Halloween!

It's going to be rainy all day so our plans to enjoy outdoor things weren't going to happen. So the two of us left the house early and let Chris enjoy some quiet time at home. We went out for a tasty breakfast, which included funfetti pancakes!
Then we spent over an hour at the mall before they opened. He was the only kid at the play area but he didn't mind.
In the afternoon, once he woke up from a long nap, we assembled a Lego Movie lego set and then watched the movie. He spent a big chunk of the time holding onto the mini-figures from his set and was in awe of everything he saw. Once the movie was over he spent several hours building and playing with the his legos, even initiating disassembling to build new. I'd say the movie was a success since that lesson helped reinforce what Chris and I have been telling him he can do.

Adafruit's latest Adabox is Halloween themed, which included their HalloWing. I added the convex lens they provided and loaded it up with the default program. The little didn't want me to change anything. He called it his ZooBoo and ran all over the house with it for a good while.

I cut out several skeleton pieces from cardboard earlier this week. We've been coloring the pieces on and off so we can assemble it soon. I'm happy this kid has a great imagination because I did do a wonderful job on several key pieces, like hands.

Now the skeleton will have an infinity gauntlet hand, so I guess that makes it a little better.

He's been enjoying the Waldo books we have on and off. They're fun to look at but sometimes it can be a little frustrating for him to find things.

They finally finished work on a nearby road and it looks like they put in a bike lane. There are several around the greater Grand Rapids area but I don't remember seeing a ton in Wyoming yet.

A chore chart arrived yesterday, so we will be trying this out over the next several weeks. So far he's excited to mark things off.
