Nov ’22: Baby Gamer
Drink at the ready, headphones on, little Fireball was ready for mischief.
And then she was ready for a snack in my lap.

Nov ’22: OW2: Napping Ana
One of the disadvantages of playing a team shooter on a console is that you just can’t turn as fast as you might otherwise be able to on PC.
But the thing is, everyone is suffering the same as you…
And Ana very much suffered this time.

Caturday: Oct ’22: Halloween Highbeams
Apparently Shadow wanted to watch the Halloween festivities from the catalpa tree that year.
It seemed super appropriate that a black cat would chill in a tree on Halloween night.

Nov ’22: OW2: POTG – Double Squash
I just thought this one was funny because it starts with me walking away from the wall with a squash kill and then I charge through two more opponents there at the end while DVa tries an ult to save their chances.

Nov ’22: Sweet Selfie
I’m not sure she had a reason to take a selfie, but she did, and it ended up on my cuteness radar, so I’ll include it here as we transition to the next month.

Oct ’22: Halloween Concluded
Fox matched with TJ’s hunter to go has a deer while Thunderer joins the fray as a princess.
Oddly enough, a prop swap for the brothers actually turns out pretty well.
Suddenly we get a lumberjack and a horror movie guy.
We were losing daylight pretty quickly and with my hands full of baby I didn’t manage to get many more pictures. At least any more that I felt were blog worthy.

TMNT 2 – NES Version Playthrough Part 3
Oct ’22: Halloween Continues
This year there was a good amount of chaos in the home, so it sort of became the year of the homemade costumes accordingly.
We’ll start things off with Superman, who wanted to be a knight in shining armor but we very much struggled to find a costume that would fit.
Next up, Newbie brought a homemade Marcy costume to bear.
And if you don’t know which Marcy, we’re talking about the Marcy from the show Amphibia. We had zero luck finding a costume from that show. I don’t recall if we’d finished watching it as a family by then or not, but Newbie found it and after watching the first season on their own hooked the rest of us on it. It’s still on Disney+ if you’re interested. It’s fantastic.
We’ll wrap up this post with TJ and his friend. A hunter and a plague doctor seem very appropriate for the era of covid starting to feel like it was wrapping up.

Oct ’22: Do the Marios!
At this point I can’t recall why I only took Potato with me when trick or treating. I think it was because it was his first Halloween at home and Fireball was feeling cranky and tired.
But since I couldn’t find the traditional ‘baby’s first Halloween’ pumpkin costume I put on my Mario costume from the closet and then grabbed a smaller Mario hat so he could be baby Mario. A very satisfying Mario Kart reference or Yoshi’s Island reference if I do say so myself.
