Lego magnets
A few years ago a friend bought me a set of three Lego bricks with magnets in them from when she went to Legoland. (Thanks Hezz!) You can buy a different set online at the Lego store. Cena’s step father gave us a set of Magz for Christmas and i noticed that the small magnets …

Halloween Decor
We have been getting decorations ready for our costume party coming up on Saturday evening. I ordered some human skull replicas off of eBay to use for a few of them. This is simply one of the skulls on the end of a 1×1 piece of wood that is zip tied to our hand truck. …
