The kids and I spent a good portion of the weekend playing Legos. I have too many Legos (a full 30-gallon tub full) to leave them out all the time, so occasionally we’ll drag the tub out, spread a bed sheet out on the floor, dump out all the Legos and build stuff throughout the weekend. On Sunday we gather up all the sheet’s corners, pick it up and set the whole thing back in the tub. Then you pull out the sheet and, presto! No mess, and no stepped on Legos later in the week!<\/p>\n

This weekend the kids and I built half a dozen little spaceships. This one was my favorite. I put it together and Mason helped me with some of the design.<\/p>\n

Sometimes after we’re done, I’ll do a quick Photoshop job and show the kids the final picture. This one is now my Windows wallpaper. Zoom, zoom!<\/p>\n

The best part about playing Legos with the kids is watching their creativity unfold. Both kids would come up with detailed stories as to what each ship was for and what each part’s function was. Good times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
