lego thursday

My mom and sister brought Kaiden a skimboard back from their vacation on the beach yesterday. Kaiden wakes me up at 7:00 this morning, swimsuit on, towel over his shoulder, skimboard under his arm and says "Get up Mom! We're going to the beach!".

Much later, around 10am, we're finally packed up and ready to head to the beach to try out the new skimboard. I went to start the car and there is already a key in the ignition and the battery is dead! Those of you who know us well know that we have ISSUES with keys. Two nights ago I took a sleeping Kaiden from the car to his bed. I forgot about the car being ON and just went to bed!!! So who knows how long the car actually ran, and if it's out of gas or what. Just add this incident to the never ending list of key dramas!

So instead of the beach we're having Lego day. We've created some pretty neat things today including this space ship.

We've also done some texture rubbings on the road, tree, leaves, grass, car....notice Kaiden's 2 different kinds of shoes. He insisted it was "two different kinds of shoe basketball day". One was even on the wrong foot. I love when he comes up with this stuff!

It was brought to our attention yesterday that Kaiden and I made it in the Sarasota Herald Tribune! This is a picture from the Harry Potter party at Books-A-Million where we're making magic wands. Click HERE to see more pictures that weren't in the paper.
