Halloween costumes!

Last year my older son wanted to be Kai for Halloween. Having just purchased a 3D printer I made him a helmet, it was the second thing I ever printed. Thankfully it fit him, but only just barely.

This year he wants to be Lloyd and his little brother wants to be Kai. This gave me a second shot at making the helmet. I JUST pulled it off the printer, my husband will sand, fill, and paint it but here they are!

We are surprising the boys with a trip to Legoland on Friday, I really hope they get a chance to take some pictures with the Ninjas☺️

My coworker "pruned" my schefflera and dracaena while I was on vacation. What now?

Will they recover? What can I do for them?

They are under a rooftop sunlight in a shady place. I watered monthly. Pots don't have drainage holes.

4 year old came home from summer camp with this rash on his bottom.

It is raised, feels slightly rough, and definitely was not there when he left the house this morning. He says it doesn't itch. We are in a high tick/lyme area, his summer camp is entirely outdoors in a wooded area and he's already had 1 embedded tick this year. Does this look concerning?

Yes, I have sent the pictures to his pediatrician, but she won't see them until at least tomorrow.

Makeshift piece sorter

My 4 year old has been using my deviled egg tray to sort his pieces. I feel like I need a deviled egg moc now.

Husband put off going to the doctor for over a year to avoid having blood drawn.

My husband is one of those people who passes out during blood draws. He's prediabetic and should be having his A1C and other labs checked regularly. He finally made the appointment, had the labs drawn, then got this message today. Now he has to go back and have them all drawn again.

Ironically, I am making a cheat sheet for a friend who needs to use the Cricut for work but isn't the "crafty type."

I am trying to create a visual for each function and text formatting has me vexed. Everytime I change the letter spacing then highlight the text, it goes back to the default spacing. There are 2 fonts on the screen and I have tried 3 other fonts and they're all doing it.

Is this just a bug or am I doing something wrong??

Edit: I have also tried saving, flattening, and attaching prior to highlighting to no avail. The reason I am selecting multiple items is because I would like to center the text within the box. The reversion happens as soon as I have more than one item selected.
