Legos

Our boys have loved legos for years -- loved hunkering down with zillions of pieces and creating cool ships/mobiles/buildings. Up until now, whenever the boys have been given a lego kit, Mike/me/my dad have been in charge of 'the build'....until now. Miles was given several lego kits for his birthday. With each kit, he tore open the bag of legos, cracked open the instruction manual, and got to work. The number of pieces ranged from 180 to almost 350. He did them all himself.


The kits took him a couple of hours to complete, so eventually, Noah and Griffin would join him for awhile. I love how they always gravitate toward each other.



When the boys weren't building kits, they would play with the new vehicles or just build for fun (poor Noah got really sunburned the first Monday of Spring Break, so he ran around in his pants without a shirt the next day because his shoulders hurt so much -- woops!!).



Noah and Griffin like to build -- but they really LOVE the guys. They go nutso over the guys. The other day I heard their guys talking to each other. Noah's guy said,"I'm going to Boston." Griffin's guy said, "me too! I love to go to Boston!" (Mike takes frequent business trips to Boston). So cute.



As a treat, I took the boys to the Lego store at Concord Mills. They were giddy! Miles selected a $99 HUGE star wars kit. We left without it, and with him swearing to save all of his money until he could buy it. :) He selected this one instead.

Griffin loved the store too. The entire trip wore him out and he took his only nap all week.



Ah, Spring Break.....!
