Legomania and other stuff
It's been a quiet week here in Carmel, out there on the edge of suburbia. We had our first big snow. Snow, the kind that floats down in big flakes but isn't severe enough to cancel school, which all the parents love. But, we were stuck inside because Annalise doesn't care to go out and get bundled up in boots and snowpants. Jim was also out of town this week so we retreated to the basement like any other good midwesterner would do during the winter (how a person can go without a basement is beyond me--what do they do in January when its cold outside or when tornados strike?)
We got out Jim's childhood legos. His legos were mostly space legos that aren't good for building houses because they are all flat and are teeny tiny. They make good vacuum cleaner bait if you know what I mean. We did get creative and make this moonscape complete with misson control and rocket launchers.
I have to say, I get really into legos. Good childhood memory for me. I sat and made lots of vehicles.
Annalise was the lego durablity tester. If your rocket car didn't make it down the slide, it needed to go back for reinforcements.
Evie constructed this car and was working on a second.
Uncle Kevin, this is our collection of rocket cars. What can you and your kids make this week?
And since every time the kids go out and play in the snow, they think they need hot chocolate. We have been eating (and playing with) a lot of marshmallows this week.
Annalise, as much as Aunt Becky would like, Klements Sausage doesn't stick to your nose.
And finally, Aunt Becky and Uncle Bran, we know you are hurting this weekend from the Bengals 2nd loss in a row to the Jets. Look at it this way, if the Bengals would have won, you would have just been delaying the eventual defeat by the future super bowl champs and their 4 time MVP quarter back with his laser rocket arm. Anyway, you may think you had a lot invested in this season, but clearly not as much as this guy. That's something else. Custom. One of a kind. Can you do this to the mini van for next season? (Bray family--we spotted this in Oakmont!! I thought you lived in the classy part of town)
