Almost Like Christmas

Work First!



Official Lego Guard Dog

Serious Construction!

Kev and Kels looking for blue bricks!


Creative Brent and Kirstin!

BEFORE the lego came upstairs!

This past weekend all the kids were around at one time or another. It felt just like Christmas! For two reasons actually. And it wasn't because of the lack of turkey dinner, or snow, or presents - it was Christmas-y because there was lots of Lego playing and Christmas music in the background. Kirstin (between putting together bricks for a cute little red house) was downloading music onto our laptop in preparation for the Craft Sale coming up in a week and a half (Yikes!) and everyone else (but me and the guard dog) were sorting and building things for Peter's Christmas display to enhance his Lego Christmas Train. Brent made a working windmill and Kev and Kels made a white and blue "farmhouse". Brent even made a little outhouse (not sure where it went!). On Saturday Eric and Peter picked up the styrofoam for the base and somewhere along the line Becky made a funny looking Lego "man" and hid him downstairs to scare any unsuspecting person retrieving food from the cold room (there, I gave it away where he/she/it is!).

Before all the fun started though Peter went out on Saturday afternoon (Nov 10) IN HIS SHIRT SLEEVES to finish digging the garden up before the snow really does come to stay. When all was over it was a good weekend. And we still get to have Christmas for real yet!
