So a lego store went into the mall near our house. Travis has just discovered his adoration of legos and he received several sets for Christmas. His friend, Little TD, has been a lego fiend for a while and he told us about the free lego build that the store offers once a month. He could never go because his sister has a class during the build, but lucky for all of us, we don't so we arranged to take him with us. This event requires waiting so we went prepared: snacks and toys. And the store was really friendly, coming by with magazines and calendars for the boys to peruse. They passed out cards that guaranteed we would get a kit and we settled in to wait. The boys did awesome! I could not have been more pleased with their behavior and extreme patience. These pictures are from last month (an igloo and penguins), but we went again this month. This time we were in line with a really nice woman and her son (maybe 12 or so?) The boys talked legos the whole time and had a great time. After the kids finished the build the woman came and sought me out to say that she had such a good time waiting with us in line and she thought I made it look easy with all 4 kids, even though she knew it wasn't. Almost made me cry! Of course, then we all walked back out the parking lot and somehow Little TD managed to fall into the one mud puddle in the one esplanade in the entire parking lot. Sigh.
Waiting in line. Some doing better than others...
Executing the build. I thought they did really well!
The build is for kids starting at age 6 so Justin doesn't qualify. I was worried he would be upset, but I need not have worried. He was fine!
All done! I thought the igloos turned out so cute! I especially liked the penguins.
