Legos

1. Hurt when you step on them.
2. Crawl into every nook and cranny.
3. Like the vents.
4. Are loud and obnoxious when sucked into the vacuum.
5. Then spit back out on your foot.  We're back to they hurt.
6. Entertain little boys for hours and hours and hours on end.
7. Until little boys are tuckered out and just lay down in a pile of Lego
And go to sleep.

    Great pic!

    Legos also don't flush completely. Trust me on this.

    What a sweet post. Love that "play until you sleep" philosophy :-)

    My son started with legos, went to kinex, then on to robotics, and now is a mechanical engineer. Legos rock!

    I played with them this morning because Emerson wanted to make a train. We also made a Home Depot, temple, an aquarium and a long, long train. If only there was a great way to pick them up.

    Looks like Indiana lost his hat. But they conquered the giant... so all is well in LegoLand...

    They totally hurt - but if the end result is that awesome peaceful shot, so worth it. ;)

    Love this! My boys love legos too and I've cursed many a time stepping on them. I swear they always lay pointy end up!

    Perfect picture! My boys were never much into Lego's and Sissy enjoys building something tall just to be able to knock it down, so they aren't on our radar too much

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
