I was recently in the market for a new body pillow for #LilGamer (he likes pregnancy body pillows because they wrap all the way around you)

and now my Amazon page is recommending stuff like this:

#Pillows #Banana #HumanBanana #NicholasCage

The boys are home for summer

Come down this morning - they're deep into a gaming session

Me: "Oh, you guys are playing Wobbly Life with Nana!"

#LilGamer : "Dad! We got into the Jelly Man's basement where he's doing experiments that are *illegal*!"

#WobblyLife

Birthday party for #LilGamer today - Minecraft themed, at a local heritage farm, two hours of rustic fun with his schoolmates.

How many schoolmates? Unclear - I'm still getting RSVPs just a couple of hours ahead of the event 😬

Conversations from the last 5 minutes (also, my kids in a nutshell)

#GamerKid : Dad, you know what I like to do after a gaming session? Drink a nice cold bottle of water - with lots of ice!

#LilGamer : Dad! I built a secret base 🎵and you don't know where it is!🎵 Come here, I'll show you where it is-

I made a joke one (1) time, and now #LilGamer sings the Spiderman theme song as:

🎵 Spiderman,
Spiderman,
Does whatever
A Spiderman does🎵

#NeverJoke #NotEvenOnce

Finally got the computer for #LilGamer upgraded to play No Man's Sky (replaced his 1660 with a 3050 - a world of difference)

#GamerKid made an elaborate underwater base on a shared world

And the three of us just played laser tag for the last few hours

Just so much you can do with this game - amazing

Just have to memorialize this:

#LilGamer (my 4yo) made his first redstone machine today!

It was a dispenser with Arrows of Swiftness, connected to a lever with redstone powder.

We've never taught him to do this - he just figured it out watching #GamerKid and I.

Proud of the little guy 🫂🥳

#BrakeOutGamingLounge update:

Phase 2 is now complete; my 4yo (now #LilGamer ) has his own desk, computer, and the gamer-est gaming chair you've ever seen. He loves it, his brother loves it, this is exactly what we were hoping for

Except

On this day, a Saturday, I fielded multiple visits from the kids before I left my bedroom because they were eager to play a group Content Warning session today. Maybe multiple sessions!

Now I need to figure out when nap time happens in the Gaming Lounge...
