Jennifer's 365 Project

At work I dressed up as Isabelle from Animal Crossing. It's a lot of fun working somewhere that you can dress up at. As an extra bonus I was dressed and ready to go out with Quinn as soon as I got home.
So we headed out around 6pm to start trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.
Quinn really wanted to be a car for Halloween. He loved the Lightning McQueen costume and that meant I didn't have to make one. So instead I added some EL Wire around the car as extra lighting. He enjoyed it and as it got darker outdoors it became more and more visible. 

I made some yogurt-covered banana pops for Halloween tonight. They did not come out as good as I thought they would.

Quinn loves Mario Odyssey! He loves seeing the eyes on Mario's hat (Cappy) and being able to walk around.

Quinn slept in late this morning, which he almost never does. So we headed out to the museum and got there after 10am. That ended up being excellent timing to watch their kids planetarium show at 11am. After the show we looked around at the different exhibits. 
We went out for a nice bite to eat and then came back to our place to visit a little. It was a fun day for everyone!

My parents drove out today to visit a little and go to the museum with us tomorrow. Quinn had a great time visiting them in their hotel room.

Yesterday we did some pumpkin carving for a work event and today we finished things off. The wifi being down is a scary thing indeed when you are in IT.

My new employer does a lot of fun things, including a Halloween treat exchange. This was what I received - a cauldron of candy and trinkets.

Its been awhile since I've worked somewhere that lets you have this kind of holiday fun so I'm really enjoying all of the Halloween happenings.

 Today is Chris' birthday! Quinn picked out the cake design.
And after dinner we sang and had cake. Birthdays are a lot of fun with a toddler. They love to help with everything!

We decorated a co-worker's cube for his birthday today.

We decided to make it a weekend of dressing up and went to the John Ball Zoo for their Zoo goes Boo event. The toddler is a little older so the concept of Halloween isn't quite as confusing as it was last year.
He had a lot of fun and enjoyed collecting toys and candy. 

This weekend is Grand Rapids Comic Con. We spent half the day at the con with Quinn, who had a blast! He loved all of the attention he received, because who doesn't love a mini-Iron Man with a light up arc reactor.

Edit: This was made following Adafruit's tutorial here. Instead of lasercut discs I used printed paper, which was perfect. I also used a smaller neopixel ring since this was for a 2 year old and not an adult. 
We stopped by to see Adam and Comfort at their booth, and Corinne (but we forgot to snag a photo of her booth!). I met up with a co-worker and we all walked around the show.

At lunch today a bunch of us played Mario Kart. Nintendo's Switch really is an excellent form factor.
