Today’s my birthday! Although I’m getting older, I’m glad that Lauren baked me my cake (with the kids help) and today’s been a good day. We’re going to go to the movies later as well! I love my family so much, they make me feel good inside.

“My daughter Zelda is equivalent to getting a present earlier than you expected, for example ordering something expecting it to be at your home in 5 days but it arrives in 2 days instead. She’s a blessing and I love her so much, why wouldn’t I? I love both of my kids and I don’t regret them at all.”

Bought a dad joke book so I can tell these jokes to the kids. I’m glad that they’re young enough to laugh at these with me haha, like this one:

“What are the strongest days of the week? Saturday and Sunday...the rest are weekdays.”

My son was kind of scared for a bit because he thought that he got banned from Fortnite but after some research I reassured him that the servers are down at the moment

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! What I love about this time of year is seeing my kids open up their presents. The smiles they get when the open them is so adorable!

Super Mario Kart, 1992 Nintendo

Super Famicom, Cartridge

My first Mario Kart game is still my favourite, it plays just as well today as it did in 1992, the vehicle handling, controls and track design is nigh on perfect.

I remember the graphics being a little divisive in the playground banter of the early 90s, such concerns of it not looking “cool” enough fell away after a few plays though, this was racing perfection courtesy of Nintendo with Nintendo’s look and feel. I first played the Japanese import long before this arrived in the UK, not that it being in Japanese mattered a great deal, the amount of text is minimal and the game is so accessible that we could stumble our way through the menus with ease!

The box art is just gorgeous, I love the illustration and the bold colours, everything just points to fun! I really miss these sort of 2D illustrations, the 3D/CG Nintendo box art that arrived with the N64 games just doesn’t have the charm that these earlier games have.

For Halloween a couple of days ago, Aiden dressed up as a firefighter and Zelda dressed up as a princess ninja (she couldn't decide on if she wanted to dress up as a princess or a ninja so we decided to go with both).

They got a lot of candy from trick or treating, but I'm teaching them to eat candy in moderation through example. I still have some leftover candy, and I'm trying to do the same so I wouldn't be a hypocrite haha
