Toy Story Legos

 

The boys got Legos from "Auntie" Angie for Easter, including Buzz Lightyear's rocket.  Before putting the rocket together, the twins made their own rocket ships, then Carson used what was left.  They used every single Lego from the box.  I think their ships turned out pretty cool.  Fun to see how they use their imaginations with Legos. :)

Lego Store Visit

Well, we finally made it to the Lego store with gift cards from Christmas.  I had a good chat with the boys on the drive to the mall about expectations.  I can't believe it, but no one cried, whined, or complained about the Lego purchases.  Gavin was determined to get Buzz Lightyear Legos, but Ben's the one who ended up with that box.  Gavin changed his mind and decided Ninjago was the way to go.  Carson went with two smaller boxes of Pharaoh's Quest Legos.  All were happy with their purchases and we spent the rest of the early afternoon putting together and playing with Legos.

*New* Lego Table

I have a new favorite blog I plan to follow called IKEA hackers, where people submit entries on how they've repurposed or improved IKEA products.  I got this idea off the site for making a Lego table.  The boys already had the Lego bases and we have a few IKEA Lacks tables already, so this was meant to be.  The boards stay in place with sticky putty, so the table isn't ruined and the boards won't move around.  We all love this!!

Builder Boys

This is how we spent much of Saturday morning.  We were all up at 6:45 AM that day, ready to build.
