Lego Club – Batman!
Today was the Batman edition of Lego Club! Brian isn’t so much into the superheroes (again, he thinks he can only like one thing a a time–and that’s Star Wars!) But he is down for Lego Club, no matter what the theme is! The mission was to build something that Batman could use to capture the bad guys, and I was pretty impressed with Brian’s creativity. His “jail” came equipped with a brain scanner that Batman could use to figure out what was making the...

We finally received our long-awaited pick-a-brick order from Lego.com–I’d had a plan for a Valentine surprise, but underestimated the shipping time for a custom order! But, even though it was late, Kendall and I had fun making a Lego rose and cute message to surprise the boys with after swimming lessons! I had also purchased some lightsaber elements, and Kendall thought those were just awesome! She made a quadruple-decker lightsaber and was quite proud of herself! We also...

It was another super busy Satuday! This morning Brian had Lego Club, with a Lego Movie theme–awesome! He made some funny minifigures while he and Brandon were there, too. 🙂 Next, the boys were off to Lowe’s Build and Grow, where he made a cool claw game. The claw doesn’t actually grab, like in the real ones, but it does work like a hook to pick up things! I stayed home with Kendall, who entertained me while I got ready for the day (who knew a basket of rocks could be so...

We went to see the Lego Movie again! This time we brought Kendall along as well for a matinee showing. It was just as good the second time, and Kendall seemed to really get into it! Also included, silly Brian with fried-egg eyes, some of Brian’s valentine cards that he made us, Kendall actually eating some spinach (!) at Noodle & Company, a paper-and-glue plane that Brian and I made, and the kids riding plasma cars in the garage. Brian’s sounded-out spellings can be tricky...

Ohhh, the big day is here! The Lego movie is out today, and Brian just had to see it on opening night. He’s been talking about February 7th for months now, and Brandon and I just couldn’t say no.. So, we gave up our date night in order to take Brian out to the movie with just us, and Kendall stayed at Goddard for the pizza party (parent night out). He was pretty excited to have us to himself, and no little sister drama to distract from the movie experience! The movie really...
