Legos

If you have boys, I think Legos come with the territory.  Our boys could play legos for hours.  It is amazing how patient they are when it comes to building different things.  Both boys got Legos sets for Christmas.  Seth got the Star Wars X-Wing Fighter.  This set was impossible to find during Christmas.  Noni ended up finding it and gave it to Seth for Christmas.  He worked for 3 or 4 hours building his ship. 

By the way, the process of building a lego ship takes up the whole table.

Seth also got a Lego City police car to build.  He got it for Christmas but early.  The extended family gathering was December 20th.  He build it the next day.  It is a cool set too.

Meme gave Garrett his lego set for Christmas.  Garrett asked for a "BIG" lego set.  His set had over 1,000 pieces.  It has taken him several days working to put his together.  He worked really hard one day then got a little frustrated.  He took several days off.  He finished it tonight.  He asked for the Star Wars Republic Cruiser.  WOW!  What a ship.  Here is the finished product courtesy of photographer Seth.

It has all kinds of secret places that pop open or carry people. 

They both have worked hard.  I hope they leave them together for a while to enjoy all their hard work.  Usually the ships stay together for a few days then become part of the 3 lego containers we have. 

Another thing Garrett asked for and got for Christmas was paint for his room. I will show before and after in tomorrow's blog.  You probably can tell in the picture the mess that is in the background.  It is amazing how much of a mess you must create just to paint.
