Show-off

When I was a kid and my younger brother Ben was so into Legos, I really didn't get it. I would try and build things, but I just couldn't seem to ever follow the instructions right or make anything cool. So, when I was pregnant with Noah, Brad and I bought our first big Blue box of legos at a Black Friday sale, and I was stoked that when we sat down to build, I actually made something. (A merry-go-round shown on the booklet) It was an awesome feeling. I think trying things as an adult is so fun, because my coordination and brain power are so much better, that I seem to progress faster than I would have as a kid.

So now, I love Legos. It is a joy to build. My favorite things to make are houses for Amalie to play with. I started this house and Brad helped me make it amazing, adding a second story and making the architecture of the front detailed and beautiful. I just love it and of course, there is no possible way to build stuff like this unless you have A LOT of Legos. So, it is super fun that with our collectors, Brad and Noah adding to our stock pile, the possibilities are infinite.

Wish you live close by. We will be going to Legoland for the third time in a month and a half. We get invited to special events and then we get free tickets for going. I would love to take Noah!

I wish you could take him too! That is super sweet that deal you got going on. You'll have to tell me about it sometimes- email me!

You have to live in California for it to work.
