We have a rather unique Christmas tradition in our family. Some people like to get those gingerbread house kits and decorate them. We like to decorate them and then turn them into a cookie catastrophe. We call them "gingerbread crime scenes" but they're really more along the lines of Shrek meets Apocalypse Now.

It's something we started doing when our oldest child was probably 10 years old so she wouldn't feel bad about accidentally wrecking her gingerbread house. It just became an annual tradition after that and we have a lot of fun doing it. They actually seem to get more creative every year.

This years episode is "Gummy Bears vs. Peanut Butter Perps" (the 'ginger bread men' are actually peanut butter cookies).

A snowy start to our winter break!

My 5 yo daughter officially loves graphic design! The app description says it's for children, but I had a blast playing with it too. The effects are really cool, and the sounds panning with the cursor is a nice touch.

Hope this is allowed

But the most unrealistic thing on the show is the 1-to-4 teacher/student ratio.

My 7 month son got croup and has been in an out of the ER twice this week. Its currently midnight and is getting another nebulizer dose before we get moved to a room. Hes doing better but its been rough. We are gonna be here at least another day for observation this time which is way better than getting sent home again to see how he does. Here's hoping he kicks its ass and gets over this quick. It sucks seeing my little guy sick like this.

Edit: he's doing a lot better today. They were doing the nebulizer every two hours and its been almost 7 without it now. Fingers crossed we are over the hump. Thanks for the support y'all.

"Pikachu? Nooooo!!!"

I went to a kid's birthday party yesterday and his dad hit it out of the park with this homemade Pikachu cake. The photo shows it mostly carved and served, but it was two-tiered, with a red and white poke ball bottom. Also not shown are the fondant ears. It was delicious, too.

A 3 year old and 1 year old. Today, for the first time, my 3 year old daughter put some nail polish on my toes. Feeling beautiful over here.

It was such a good episode, though

I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.

She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn't fall too far from the dingleberry.

When daddy is the chef de cuisine and some random shit in your fridge is expired but smells ok.
