Mini Adventure #21: Luci Reveals

Answers to Questions

Stellar! My first post and it's an important one; I get to tell you some mars-a-licious info!

Grace's Boggle Word List

Grace searched and searched and came up with 15 words from the Boggle cube from the other day.

Oh, just in case the photo isn't clear: truce, clef, drum, turds, same, axe, axel, sax, sum, flex, curt, rut, rum, curds, mud.

If you didn't see her game day post, you can still check it out and play along. You just have to remember the letter dice have to touch but can go horizontal, vertical, diagonal, cube and you can't jump over letters. It's kind of like a word search, but not. (giggles)

Pi(e) Flavors

Yay! Yesterday was Pi Day! Some really good guesses were made about the pies; one guesser was half right. 

They're blueberry and cherry. Here's a closer look. 

Cetus lupetus, Pyewacket! Don't eat the pies!

That's it for my lunarious first solo adventure! Can't wait to venture out again!

Audentes fortuna juvat!

Happy Pi Day!

Hello! Long time no see! Pyewacket and I are here to wish you a very Happy Pi Day!

Do you have a favorite type of pie? We have two different fruit pies. Don't they look tasty? They smell wonderful!

Can you guess what flavors they are? Pyewacket is sniffing it out. (giggles)

Hope you have a great day! Get all your math homework done with a tasty treat.

Best wishes,

Game Day with Grace

Word Games

Boggle!

Hi! My sisters and I love to play games. Unfortunately, they all have homework today and I finished mine early. Instead of waiting, I thought I'd ask you to play.

Lady Grey gave us Boggle for Christmas. It's awesome! You shake up the cube and get all the letter dice to settle into place. Then you get three minutes to make as many 3 or more letter words you can. The catch is the letters have to be touching and you can't double back on a letter to use it a second time. For instance in this test cube I can make: tea, way, tax, wet, met, teat, ace, wax, waxy, way, watt. Yeah, I lean on those 3-letter words. After time runs out, you compare lists and cross off duplicates.

So if you'd be interested in playing, I suggest the following adjustments: no time limit, leave your list in the comments. Spelling does count. Ems are underlined (M) double-us are not (W). Are you ready? Here is our actual game cube. 

I've already found a few words. 

Have you found the same words I did? Did you find anything unique? Looking forward to your comments.

À bientôt!

The Build: March 2019

Third Month of the Year

Seeing Green

Hi, all! Kaya on the beat today revealing our latest calendar. This was a tricky one. We started out with one idea, then realized we didn't quite have the mini figures for it. We shifted gears and I think it was good.

Now, let me preface this for all those who are very interested in mythical peoples, we did some research and while elves are neither fairies nor leprechauns the three peoples are somewhat related. So since we did not have any leprechaun mini figures we thought we'd feature the elves in this magical month.

The elves featured are Aira Windwhistler and Azari Firedancer. We also included Emily Jones.

Aira is over on the left with her pegasi, Starshine and Rufus. Rufus has the blue markings by his eyes while Starshine's marking are purple.

Or Rufus is on Aira's right and Starshine on her left.

On this side, Emily is talking with Azari while Fledge, the baby dragon, looks on. Fledge wants what Emily has in her had.

Lining the front is a rainbow. We figured you had to go over a rainbow to enter magical realms. You know, it could be one type of portal. 

The large green plants are super shamrocks. There is one just budding between Rufus' and Starshine's back hooves. 

The pineapple is too easy to find this time. Did you see it?

I think this is one of my favorites. 

So colorful and pretty. Reminds me spring is on the way even though today the wind chill is taking us to single digits. Final look.

I hope you enjoyed the tour of this month's calendar. What is your favorite part?

Happy March!

Thank you for stopping! See you again soon!

Fun Friday: Hamsters Plus

More Pet Love

And a Bit of a Review

Hello, everyone! Lea here hoping you are having a lovely Friday! It's March first and the first Friday of March, so there are a ton of cool days being celebrated like National Doodle Day, National Horse Protection Day, National Pig Day, National Fruit compote Day, Share a Smile Day, and World Compliment Day. By the way reader; thank you for stopping by you are a wonderful person. Keep up the good work. And it's the start of quite a few interesting awareness month themes. Our favorites on the list are Adopt-A-Rescued Guinea Pig Month, International Rescue Cat Awareness Month, Music in Our Schools Month, National Crochet Month, Youth Art Month. ANYWAY! The other day Grace introduced you to Heather our little hedgehog and on July 2 you met our first hamster, Fluffles. Today I'm here to introduce you to our newest hamster.

Heather and Rascal are helping. Heather is so funny the way she toddles around. See if you can spot her throughout the post.

So here are Fluffles, on the right, and Trixie, on the left.

Here's a closer look.

This is Fluffles home. I took her wheel and food dish out.

This is Trixie in her wheel. Trixie's habitat is identical to Heather's. We're still introducing the two so separate cages for now.

Fluffles will run then rest in her wheel. Trixie rarely sits. (giggles) Heather doesn't know what to do about those wheels. 

They are super cute and like each other. 

Cutie pattooties!

Both like to climb up my arm.

And sit on my shoulder.

They play with Rascal too, but we watch them closely. No unsupervised visits!

Time to go back in your houses.

Aren't they cute?

Xyra's Notes

• Fluffles is the American Girl Hamster. The set comes with a hamster, wheel, food dish, water bottle, cage, and care book. The hamster flocked or fuzzy. Her food dish is square and looks full with food. Fluffles' habitat has a textured floor to imitate the shredded paper or wood chip bedding (I added the actual shredded paper). There is space inside for the wheel and food dish, but no hiding spot. It is small and there is another flaw...no vents!
• Trixie is from the My Life As Small Animal Play Set. She is molded resin. The food dish from this set is round and there is picture of food at the bottom. The cage has a picture of wood chips in the bottom and fits the little house, the tunnel, and food dish. It is bigger and has a "wire" upper.
• Both sets are cute. Check the photos.

Great Aunt Lanie's Recovery Party Plate

Last week Great Aunt Lanie fell and broker her wrist. She had surgery on Monday. Xyra and I took over some tasty treats for a visit. 

We have, going clockwise: a kale superfood salad; cheese puffs; turkey and swiss with mixed greens and mayonnaise; herbed cucumber on wheat; ham and Swiss on rye with mixed greens, tomatoes and dijon mustard; and ham and Swiss on rye with mixed greens, cucumbers, and yellow mustard.

It was super tasty! I forgot to get a picture of dessert: banana bread with strawberries and mandarin orange slices on the side.

Tchau!
