 Hey everybody, welcome to the Law Doc Way. I'm Jessica. And today's video is our September Amazon haul. I'm gonna go ahead and start with books you guys. The first book set that I have is the ASPCA Kids Pet Rescue Club. It is a eight book box set that I grabbed for Emily because she's an animal lover. And all of these books are based on true stories. So in that box set, we have a new home for Truman, No Time for Hallie, The Lonely Pony, Too Big to Run, a puppy called Disaster, Champions New Shoes, a Perfect Pair, and Bailey the Wonder Dog. I'm gonna show you just a few pages inside because I know if you have one of those kids who you still kinda need to check the level, sometimes it can be hard to do that without seeing inside a book. There are a few pictures, but there's not a ton. There's just like one, maybe every chapter or every other chapter. So that is that series. I also got the Honeydooks Scratch and Sniff Adventure. I grabbed this mainly because we're doing Waldox Wizards and Wands this year. And one of the writing prompts within it is to create a new candy for Honeydooks. And so I just thought this would be a really fun way to kinda bring the writing project to life, and it really was. So there's just different candies featured in here. And as you are reading it, there are little places where you can scratch and sniff. Now, some of the scratch and sniff smell amazing and some smell disgusting, but it's still really fun either way. I also picked up this brand new release from DK called Life Cycles. It is everything from start to finish and it is gorgeous. Just absolutely. I love the way it is things that are not even your normal life cycles. It's more than just butterflies and frogs. It has fossils and comets and here we have a river. The other thing I really like about it is that each spread is kind of its own thing. So I don't ever have to worry about like feeling like I'm not using the whole book. If we're doing, you know, a study on sequoias, I can just open it to the spread and not feel guilty for not having done, you know, like everything. So here is a spread on a spider. Every spread is something different. There is the Life Cycle from start to finish and then there's always some facts either along the side or along the bottom that kind of go along with whatever it is. So this is an amazing addition to our homeschool and I'm really excited that we have it. Next are just a few books I grabbed for myself. I got Let Them Be Kids by Jessica Smart and I got her other book, Memory Making Mom. And then I also picked up a few books. We're gonna be doing a unit study soon on the election. So I got two books that we'll be using as a spine. What's the big deal about elections and what is a presidential election? And I will do a video and a blog post on our election unit study. So if you wanna see more of that, stay tuned. I also grabbed the Disney DVD, a Schoolhouse Rock election collection because you guys, Schoolhouse Rock is adorable. So okay, I also got two workbooks and I got these two workbooks for two different reasons. Number one, I will do absolutely anything to make math fun for Emily. And number two, I wanted to be able to look at both of them to recommend them to you guys if I thought they were worth recommending. So it is the unofficial math adventures for Harry Potter fans. There is a grade one and two which is addition and subtraction and there's a grade three and four which is multiplication and division. Each book has 60 pages of math practice in it. They are full color. They remind me a lot of like the Star Wars books. If you have seen them, the Star Wars math books and so far I'm impressed. I mean, they're not an entire math curriculum but if you have a Harry Potter fan who maybe needs a little extra math practice, I think these are great. And they're worth the money because I think they were only 7.99. So they're like eight bucks and you're getting a lot of extra math practice and probably a way that your kids are gonna enjoy. So hands down, they both have my vote. Okay, I'm gonna show you this because Emily is waiting offscreen like literally begging for it. This is something that we only purchased one of and I went back and purchased another two that aren't here yet. It is called a fidget cube. Technically it's a sphere, you guys. It reminds me a lot of a Rubik's cube and basically what you're trying to do is move these little pieces around so that they're in their matching colors. So you can see like black is in the purple and purple is in the black and there's one empty hole. So you're just like moving them back and forth eventually trying to get all of the pieces in the correct color. So it reminds me of a Rubik's cube in that way. It is amazing for fine motor skill. It's great for fidget and it's small so it fits really, really easily like in your purse or anywhere. I've used it, Kevin's used it, Emily's used it. It's amazing and they're cheap. I think like five bucks. So anyway, get one of these if you have a fidget, the GD Kid. The next thing I have are these papermate pins. Now I have told you guys before, Emily's favorite pencil and my favorite pencil for her is the papermate, they call it handwriting brand now and the barrel itself is actually triangular. I don't know if you're gonna be able to see that but it's an actual like the pin and the whole barrel is a triangular shape. So now they have pins that are the same and the pin is like a papermate flare felt tip. So Emily can feel kind of grown up like mommy and be writing and her fancy papermate flare pins but she still has that comfortable barrel because they're triangular shaped. So she has really, really enjoyed those. Okay, the only, am I really gonna say I've only bought one game this month? I think I only bought one game this month you guys was Potato Pirates and it is because we did not have it yet, we love Think Fun and Pirate Day was in September. So it just seemed like a no-brainer to go ahead and purchase this game and have it and it's a coding game and we can always use more coding in our homeschool. So this was the game that I purchased this month. And then we are getting into some multiplication and I like having hands on ways for Emily to practice things like that. So I got her this wooden multiplication table. Each of the little color pieces are like little blocks that come out. And so it reminds me of those hundreds of tables that have the little wooden pieces. Basically she has a hundred blocks and then the tray and she can just kind of play with them however she wants but they've really been helping her to see and touch the different facts. And then I also got the Educational Insights multiplication slam to help her practice her multiplication as well. And Kevin has taken over teaching like one kind of lesson a week. He just kind of wants that quality time with Emily and sometimes I participate, sometimes I don't. And so he's been picking up or having me pick up just small kind of science kids or craft kids or like just kind of box things that make it a little bit easy, at least for now. And so he is a veteran from the Air Force in case you guys don't know. So anything that has things going up in the air is definitely his speed. So he wanted to get this light up air rockets set for them to do together. So this is one of the things that they'll be doing on the day he teaches soon. And then not technically homeschool related but it also kind of is. Emily got an Echo Dot for her bedroom and we got her the wall mount to go along with it. So it is actually mounted. So she has a kind of a bunk bed and so it's mounted right at the head of her bed. And the reason that is she has found that she really, really enjoys reading to me via the Echo Dot. So she will drop in to either the living room which is literally the room like right next to her. So it's not like it's that far but she will drop into either the living room or drop into my bedroom and she will read to me through that. Another cheaper way that we used to do this is reading over walkie talkies. You guys, anything simple like that that makes reading or doing a writing project or math fluency more fun, I'm all about it. So we've done walkie talkies and now we've just got fancy and we're doing it with the dot. We also got, well, I also got a new handheld tripod. We have been doing a lot of learning on location lately. We're hoping to do even more. And I wanted something that was a little bit smaller and can fit in my bag. So I just got a smaller tripod. It extends and has a small tripod for my camera and my vlogging handheld camera does not have an external mic. So it picks up a lot of wind noise. If you've heard it, I'm sorry. So these are like little muff things, like little wind muff noise canceling. I don't know if they're gonna work. You guys can let me know in future video. But I grabbed these to hopefully help mask some of that wind noise. And then another thing that Kevin got this month was a drone. So he has been wanting a drone for a while, but he, I mean, we just really didn't have a reason for it. And we were watching my girl Serena from the Falco family who we love. And one of her vlogs, they were using a drone. So he was like all over it. And he's like, they're using a drone. We can get one for the business. So Kevin got a drone for the business. So hopefully he gets you guys some really awesome drone shots in the near future since technically that's why he bought it. We'll see. And then if you guys have been around the Wallach way any length of time, you know that this print has become Emily's absolute favorite. I'm not really sure why, but she loves this rainbow print. So she was due for the next size up. So I got her a new rainbow print sleeveless dress. And then I also found her, because wow, it doesn't stay winter long in Florida. It is becoming winter soon. A long sleeve dress that has the same print. So it's yellow on the top, but it's a maxi and has that same print on the bottom. So that way she has two new dresses that she can wear that fit her now. And another thing that I got for her was this backyard safari vest. You might have seen her wearing it recently. She's obsessed with Dino Dana. And so I got her a vest that looks very similar to hers. I don't know if you can see it but she even has Dana written on the little name tag right there. She's been wearing it. It's so adorable. And it was worth every penny. Just the look on her face that she got to be Dino Dana. And the last thing I have to show you guys is this giant and when I say giant, I mean giant bean bag cover. It's not a full bean bag because it's actually made for stuffed animals. So you unzip it and you fill it with stuffed animals. We have one and we love it. We use it in Emily's room. You guys, it's not the most comfortable seat in the world with stuffed animals but it's a heck of a lot better than sitting on the floor. I use it when I read to her at nighttime. But she's still needed more stuffed animal storage, running out and exploding that one. And so we went ahead and got a second one to put down here in the homeschool slash playroom. So this is what we purchased. They hold up really well. At least the ones we bought have the zippers. I mean, she's in and out of hers all the time. The zippers are very sturdy. I think as far as keeping your stuffed animals in one spot and kind of given mama the peace of mind of not having them all over the place, it is totally worth all the money. And then the very last thing that we purchased, I can't actually show you because it is already up but I will insert a picture and it is a ninja line. So we actually bought it and it was on sale with a $10 off coupon that you could clip and we intended to put it up for Emily for Christmas. But most of the parks here in Florida are still closed and the weather was nice and Emily was going a bit star crazy. So Kevin surprised her by putting it up. He was able to put it up by himself. He tested it to make sure that it was sturdy and would hold her and it did hold him and it held her and she played on it for over an hour. It is one of those things that I can see being worth every single penny this fall as we spend some time outside and I am totally gonna count that as our homeschool PE. So that is all I have that I think is everything we purchased in September from Amazon. Now it's your turn. Tell me what you purchased from Amazon this past month.
