**A Joyful Family Day with HelloFresh and a Special Feline Friend**

For Evan and Katelyn, being parents to Joobie is an adventure filled with laughter, excitement, and occasional chaos. In this episode of their family vlog, they decided to try out a new meal kit service called HelloFresh, which promised to bring healthy and delicious meals right to their doorstep. As they eagerly awaited the arrival of their food order, they couldn't help but wonder what other surprises the day might hold.

As they waited for their food to arrive, Evan and Katelyn shared their enthusiasm for HelloFresh, highlighting its benefits such as fresh produce, easy-to-follow recipes, and the opportunity to try new things. They also appreciated the company's commitment to being carbon neutral and reducing waste through recyclable packaging. With a code in hand, they were excited to receive up to 16 free meals and three surprise gifts from HelloFresh.

Just as they were about to enjoy their first meal together, Evan had an idea to bring Joobie into the equation. He proposed that they add some extra ham to their order to coax her out of hiding. Katelyn was hesitant at first, but eventually agreed, and soon they found themselves surrounded by a mountain of meat. The plan was simple: they would place the ham in front of Joobie, hoping she would come out to play.

As they waited for Joobie's response, Evan and Katelyn couldn't help but feel a sense of nervous energy. They had tried various methods to entice her before, including catnip and treats, but nothing seemed to work consistently. This time, however, they were armed with a special surprise – dry catnip sprinkles that would supposedly drive Joobie wild.

As they waited patiently for Joobie's reaction, Evan and Katelyn shared their concerns about how she might respond to the sudden arrival of a new food source. They had grown accustomed to her independent nature and weren't sure if she would be receptive to their attempts at bribery. But as they finally placed the ham in front of her, they were met with an unexpected reaction – Joobie was covered in catnip.

The room erupted into laughter as Evan and Katelyn struggled to comprehend the situation. It seemed that their plan had backfired, but in a rather charming way. The catnip had taken hold, and Joobie was now rolling around in ecstasy, purring contentedly. The GoPro camera captured every moment of this hilarious spectacle, providing an entertaining glimpse into the life of Evan and Katelyn's beloved feline companion.

As the day drew to a close, Evan and Katelyn reflected on their experience with HelloFresh and the joy that came with sharing it with Joobie. Despite the initial jitters, they had managed to create a fun and memorable moment together as a family. And as they settled in for the night, surrounded by the remnants of their meal and the lingering scent of catnip, they couldn't help but feel grateful for the simple pleasures in life – like a happy home, delicious food, and a loving companion like Joobie.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en(upbeat music)So we get excitedfor every projectwe do on our YouTube channel,but this one is kind ofoff the charts for me.But I have a few thingsprepared around herethat Katelyn can't see yet,'cause I'm gonnasurprise her with it.So I'll get her, walk her inkind of like hiding her eyes,and then we'll get started.(chuckling)EVAN: It's recording.KATELYN: Okay.EVAN: So, don't fart.(Evan laughing)KATELYN: I'll try my best.(Evan laughing)You know I can just look down.No, there's somestuff on the ground.Oh!(Evan laughing)Okay. Now, you're good.You're safe.Okay. So our cat, Joobie,loves being pushedaround in a box.Yes, that is the face shemakes when she's happyor it could also bethe smug satisfactionthat her humans are doingmanual labor for her enjoyment.But either way, she likes it.She will never tire of this.We can push her around foreverand she's always satisfied,but sometimes we need a break.So we thought we'd make aremote controlled cat car.Is it a cat car? A catbed? A box on wheels?We don't know yet.We haven't built it.No. Katelyn, has been incharge of the design side.She has some greatinspiration images.She has a lot ofthings in her headand it's been my duty tolike figure out the thing,the chassis for whichshe will be carried upon.And I've had so much fun.I've had so much fun!Can I, can I likepause for a second?Yeah, yeah.We had a freightdelivery this morning.And like, what didyou, what did you buythat needed toarrive on a pallet?So, we're gonna be buildingthe top out of thesecorrugated cardboard sheets.And we also have theselittle, like, look at these!These are for like theheadlights of the car.I feel like you're kind ofskipping ahead of things.What arrived onthe pallet today?I feel like you'reavoiding this.I'm gonna be sharingthis with Katelynat the same time I'msharing it with you guys.So. (laughs)(both laughing)I'm so nervous.Okay.So imagine like whatwould you have picture,at the very beginning,what would we use?An RC car.An RC car.Yeah.Kind of like this. Right?Yeah. Maybe alittle bigger. Yeah.Yeah. Now, the problemwith something like thisis oftentimes, there's noadjustability of the speed.Look at this.This is full forward.KATELYN: Oh!EVAN: Full backwards.And we don't wanna spook her.Yeah. Like, look at that turn.That's like, that'ssuper jarring.KATELYN: Yeah.I know, this is a fun toy.I'm just gonna have a lot offun with this and enjoy it.But this doesn'twork well for a basebecause Joob is 11 pounds?Yes.She's a heavy kitty.As a demonstration, here'sa five pound weight.(weight thudding)(gentle music)Half of the Joob.Okay.(car toy wheels thrumming)(gentle music continues)It's honestly doingbetter than I thought.KATELYN: Do you wanna anotherweight to equal full Joob?Yes.(Evan laughing)Okay, you have it. Good.Oh, geez.Might need more tape.Yeah.I feel like, youknow, on the Grinch,when he puts the horn on Max'shead and he just sinks down.(Evan laughing)That's this car right now.Okay. Ready?(jazzy music)Oh.That's it?I'm trying to turn it.KATELYN: Yeah.Ideally, we will be gettingkind of more of a robotthan an RC car.That like, is a littlebit more of a platform.Okay.We're makers. I'm an engineer.I started looking intoit. We can build it.We can buy all thecomponents and build it.Or! Or...Should I film you orshould I not look?EVAN: (chuckles) Don't look.KATELYN: I'll filmyou but I won't look.(Evan thudding)(laughing)EVAN: Oh!(car toy revving)I hear something.(tires revving)(playful music)Is it a drone? What? No.(tiresrevving)(playful music)Are you gonna rollover on a segway?No, no, no, no, no, no, no!Oh!Sorry!(both laughing)(Evan grunting)What is that?Or... (chuckling)You didn't buy this!KATELYN: Likewhat? What is this?This is very hardcore looking.This is our base.Look at how smooththis is, Katelyn.(car toy revving)Oh.Really-That's very slow and quiet.Look at that.Oh, that's Joobieapproved right there.I bet.Look at that.You can barely hear it.Oh.And it's honestly apretty good size for her.T-slot aluminum framing!Modularity! Design!This is a lot more...like, look at these wheels!Is she going off-roading?(both laughing)I was thinking like, Katelyn,let's build the cardboard.An obstacle course!Let's, let's build, let'sbuild the cardboard one.But then what if in the future,if she likes thisand she's used to it,what if we build an enclosed oneand we go for walks with her?We can take her outside.We can take her outside.We can like, imaginelike going for a walk,wherever here, walking and like,Like we're controlling.We can go for like an extendwalk. Oh. I'm so excitedI'm so excited! I'vealways wanted a robotI know(Evan snorts)(both laughing)sorry (laughing)Was that a snort of excitement(laughing) Yeah that wasa snort of excitementYou haven't seen the, the,the, the, the seat yetHave you?Oh, it's big.We got little seat forJoob we're gonna build thecar kind of aroundthis and look at this.Oh, that fits perfect, youcan extend it a little bit.You can see how thisis gonna come together.Oh my god.Look at that throne.Yeah. I was gonna say, this is aremote control cat throne.As is right and properI am excited to build the top,I'm curious to see ifshe's gonna like this.This is twelve and ahalf pounds right here.Yeah.KATELYN: Okay. Okay.EVAN: It can handle it.So my job is donehere. Thank you.OkayI'm looking forward tosee what you build in therest of the video. See you guys.(Evan laughing)Help. (laughing)(both laughing)I um,okay.(both laughing)Do you wanna, youwanna drive it?Yeah, yeah, yeah.You do. Yeah.Go full speed. (Evan laughing)Ooh. Ooh.That turns pretty agile.EVAN: Yeah. Right.I just imagine like a singlecat parade going down ourhallway and the speed.EVAN: Yeah!And Jooby just lookingso pleased with herself.I hope this works.KATELYN: I can't reallydo car designs well,so my first instinct wasjust to lean into a spacetheme with clouddetails and some stars.It was pretty cute,but it seemed kind ofdelicate for the huge tires.So I tried to make the nextdesign a little more car-like.I added some details like taillights & some cute fins withJoob's face on 'em, thoughI did keep the starry base.But before we can startworking on these side panels,we need to make a woodenbase to attach it all to.(Evan hitting wood panel)So I love Katelyn's design.I'm really excited about it.Now we need to makeit work in real life.How are we gonna attach it?How are we gonna cut it?KATELYN: And one thingwe realized there's,there's not wiggle room for ourlaser cut material to fit inbetween there.EVAN: Yeah. So we'realready kind of havingto modify the design.My thought is I'll like makea centerpiece that attachesright here. Andthen on the inside,I'll attach more laser cutpieces to the, the centerpiece.KATELYN: So that they'renot actually having to gobetween the base and the tirethey're just resting on top?EVAN: Yeah, kind of like thatSo let's get lasercutting on our Glowforge.KATELYN: So we were justgonna do a quick transitionfrom the fully assembled piecesand all of a sudden, wow,it's painted, butwe hit a little bit.It's been a day (Evan laughing)KATELYN: Yeah, We hit alittle bit of a snag and we'vekind of gone down arabbit hole on paint.We wanted to try thisreally cool color shift,spray paint,and thefirst attempt was bad.KATELYN: We're usingdraftboard because that'swhat we have the mostof it just has a texturethat the color shiftpaint emphasized.But after much testing,we realized just.Just do a metallicacrylic paint.It looks really niceKATELYN: Good enough.To look kind, kind of fancy.KATELYN: Yeah. Okay. So nowwe'll do the cool transition.(Evan clapping)Okay. (Evan clapping)KATELYN: So I designed acustom vanity license platefor Joobie's car thatEvan's gonna cut out for me.Look at the little toe beans.(Glowforge machine noise)EVAN: THE BEANS! AAAAHHHHHI saved the beans, this looksperfect for the license plate.When I bought it, it says thatit's made for laser cutting.So lets see if it works.Alrighty. So all mypieces are nicely cut out.I wanna do like a littletransitiony thing, you know.All my pieces arenicely cut out.Look at that. I didn'teven lose a toe bean.I'm just over here scrollingTwitter peacefully.I did not expect the shade.KATELYN: Anyways. We justneed to assemble 'em Oh, wait.I should remove (Evan laughing)Here it is.EVAN: That's soadorable, that's amazing.Isn't it cute, I like your zoomCause we don't have azoom on this camera.You just move forward.EVAN: We have a zoom,but it's very slow.Yeah. That's not acceptable.EVAN: So I wanted to addthese little headlightsto the car, but Iwanted more personality.So I made these little sleevesthat turned them into eyes.Look at this!KATELYN: They're likegoogly eyes. Oh my gosh.What do we do? Do we like,you know, we look sillyor straight on crazyand gooky, oh yes! Yes!I kinda like it.I kinda like it too.(Katelyn laughing)EVAN: Look at our boy.KATELYN: Or is it our girl?EVAN: I dunno, lookat our creation.(festive music)EVAN: Ah, Ah Stay.Yay!KATELYN: The Joobis represented.(funky music)Yes. Yes. Are you filming?Yeah.Whooo hoooHe's leaving tire marks!Oh, it's good for doingthis out here before webring it in the house.Oh my gosh. Look at that.I think maybe justturn a little bit.What about just doing like.No leaves tiremarks immediately.It's fine. She can justgo straight, I guess.At the end.... defeatedby the choice of tires.But I don't like, I'msurprised by how muchI like how this looks.It's awesome.Now it a little janky. Yes.is that part of the charm?Yes.I just hope thatJoobie will accept it.Yeah.I'm not even hoping forlove. Just will she accept.It might take a bit.Sometimes foreshadowingis relatively obvious.To give us the best chance.Why don't we get someextra ham to coax her with?Mm, okay.Hi.
