Legos! Legos! Legos!

Lego Fever continues. We had been going through a Lego Lull before this recent contagion. Jake, of course, never takes off more than a few days, but the rest of the household hadn't been doing much with Legos. However, that changed last month and now the boys and opa are building old and new Lego sets every week. Jake and Bentey let me take apart a few sets and store them away to create room for new structures. Unfortunately I think they built two structures for every one I put away.

Jake gave me his Lego City Fire Plane to deconstruct, but then he rebuilt his Lego City Fire Station which takes up more room by far. Lincoln loves playing with it, but it tends to fall apart, so after putting it back together twice, I relocated it to a safer place. Jake also rebuilt two Star Wars sets and his Lego City Truck (a large semi-truck with container van). Bentley rebuilt his Dino T-Rex Hunter and his City Power Boat Transporter set. Both Bentley and Jake have been working on their latest castle. They do good work!

Recently completed Lego structures are stored on the Lego table in the upstairs family room or on a bookshelf in the trio's bedroom. We traded out their old bookshelf for a larger bookshelf with more shelf space for books and Lego creations. Extra shelf space for Lego creations inspired Bentley and Jake to build, build, build. It appears that how ever much space we give the boys to display their Lego creations, they will fill it to overflowing.

Opa purchased two new Galaxy Squad sets which Jake and Bentley quickly built. Then opa downloaded an iPad Galaxy Squad game. Bentley and Jake have played the game every day since it was put on the iPads.

 

Viva and I are working on a pink and purple house of our own design. In addition Viva has a Chima set she is building. Sometimes she completes her Lego sets in a day or two, but other times she takes weeks.
