Kids Day 2011

 

Kid’s Day this year was great!  We got Daniel a set of “Cars” books and Eric’s parents got him a toy bus that came with 3 little people and plays music.  He loved his presents, especially the bus, which he carried around all day and even slept with during nap time.  We had Chocolate ice cream (made with almond milk) for breakfast and some Sorbet (Daniel’s favorite).  We actually celebrated on Saturday so we could go out and do some of Daniel’s favorite things.  We watched the movie “Cars” then we took him to the library and let him pick out a book (it was about Cars of course), then we took him to the pet store to look at all the animals his favorites were the kittens and the fish.  To finish off the afternoon we took him to Wendy’s and got him some chicken nuggets and french fries.  When he woke up from his nap we played the Mickey Mouse ABC computer game and had a sock fight.  Daniel LOVED the sock fight, he thought Eric’s reactions to getting hit were hilarious.  We had a lot of fun, Daniel thinks every day should be Kid’s Day.

Here are some videos of opening presents:

“Kinect Dodge!” Game

 

The present that Shantell got me for my birthday was a Kinect. Now, that seems like a weird present to give someone who doesn’t have an X-Box 360, but I wanted it for the computer. You see, a few months ago Microsoft released an SDK which allowed people to develop Kinect programs for the computer, and I had been wanting one ever since.

So this week I have been playing around with it and created a game called “Kinect Dodge!” It’s nothing too fancy, but we think it is pretty fun Smile

To see the game in action, here is a video:
