LEGO

So while reading pat washington's blog, I was reminded of the pure awesomeness of LEGO. My kid got $15 for her birthday, so today we went to Toys R Us and told her she could pick out anything she wanted. After some gentle persuasion from me (and a long explanation on how $15 wasn't enough to buy a new bike), she decided to get a LEGO castle set.



Since LEGO is outrageously expensive, she had to get the most basic set ($11.99), but she didn't care. We got home, opened it up, and it was like she was in little kid heaven for two hours. 137 pieces of pure bliss. We built the fort and horse first, then a dragon, then a spaceship with a horse driving it, then about twenty more things. LEGO is frickin awesome. I've still got all my old sets, including the massive pirate ship. We're gonna pull that out this weekend, and I'll show her how we used to build back in the day. Back when LEGOs still looked like LEGOs, instead of all the specialized pieces they have today. Good times.

    I really miss making things with LEGOs! I had such a huge collection when I was little.

    I remember one time, I was working on this really elaborate fort, and I accidentally spilled water all over the directions for it.

    Sadly, I never completed it as directed, but I added my own touch to it. I think that may just make it all that much more fun.

    Legos were my favorite toys as a child, I would get sets for my birthday and christmas every year. Always liked building things, but then never really played with them afterwords.

    Had very little interaction with legos here, sadly. One, maybe two boxes. Some vehicle and a generic house.

    I love them anyway!
