Well, this was a rough weekend for many of us. On top of September 11 observances and remembrances, Hubby had taken the opportunity to travel to the Houston area to visit his relatives. He and Eldest had a great time, and even managed to do a bit of shopping.
At the Lego™ Store!!
That’s right!! I have my greedy hands on Fallingwater!! This was my super-early birthday present. I’m already salivating over the prospect of putting this masterpiece together. I figure I will display it upstairs in the bonus room, alongside my craft area. Provided I set up my craft area, that is.
And because he won’t be here for Christmas, he also acquired for moi:
And that’s not all!!!! One of my crossed-off items on my Things to Do Before I Die List™ was Branderburg Tor, the entry gate to the city of Berlin. Pictures don’t do it justice. Neither do Legos, but I do NOT care!!!
So what if it’s for 12 years and up?? I’m in the “and up” range, aren’t I?? 😉

Yeah, one of these days I’m gonna get the Space Needle one. Maybe even all the architecture ones, and make a tiny city.

I must admit that I just don’t get Legos….

Tiberius, so says you 😛
CF, some of them are quite affordable, because they have simple lines.
QueenBee, you don’t “get” Legos… you experience them 😀

Legoland in the San Diego area was one of the best vacations I ever took my kids on. I had a ball!

Aggie, Legos have no age. However, my favorites have always been castle, pirates, space, and technic… Not to mention that with the way I think of Lego almost every range has at least a few kits that have something good in them.

Legos are a Lot of fun, that is until you step on one in your bare feet at 3am (been there, done that)
