I can't wait to see them in person and perhaps find that missing piece. I was good at that remember?<br /><br />Now what challenging project can we find for you?

Nick watched YouTube videos that kids create to explain their projects-- entire Star Wars battle scenes. The interest is waning here, which is sad. But I was glad that he liked the Technics set he got for Christmas. <br /><br />I did enjoy watching a couple of older boys [at least 17 or 18 yrs old] pick out lego sets in the Lego Store one day. It was fun to see their excitment was still there :)chrysanthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038321359020710440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-27461365251490595102012-02-01T10:04:39.506-05:002012-02-01T10:04:39.506-05:00Please thank Five for me and tell him I have compl...Please thank Five for me and tell him I have complete confidence that a Space Station will be no trouble.

My eldest son wants me to post it to my blog whenever he makes something, too, but I appease him by allowing him to post it to the Lego sight where people he doesn't know give it thumbs-up. Much more satisfying for him. My middle son (I believe one year younger than Five) can't stop talking to save his life, even when building with Legos. Be thankful for your magic silencing Legos. :)Deliahttp://delia-moran.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318625078248654911.post-30065776715468331222012-01-31T17:10:30.817-05:002012-01-31T17:10:30.817-05:00That is spectacular!
