Oh No! Over Lego's?

Yep, Christian is growing tired of Legos, the newer ones anyway. We have been shopping numerous times this past month, and while he always checks out the Lego sets on the shelf, he refuses to buy any. He has been shopping on eBay, however. He loves looking at all of the old stuff on there and is sure to have a long list for Santa. Have fun shopping online, Santa!

We are having a yard sale in a few weeks, and yep, you guessed it, Christian has several Lego sets slated for it, much to his dad’s dismay. The Star Wars sets are going to make more room on the shelf for his own creations. He has made several things. I was wondering when he was going to take the plunge and start designing his own Lego vehicles, houses, etc. Seems now is the time!

Grump

Christian and Tori had their first day of school on Monday, and it did not start off well for Christian. Huts and I had the day off and decided to take the two to Panera’s for breakfast. Christian was not happy about that and sulked through breakfast. He got excited when that was over but freaked out the moment we got to school. Lines had already formed, and while kids were still arriving, Christian just knew he was going to be late and we would not find his teacher’s line. Tempers flared, and when I did not locate the line as fast he thought I should have, tears fell. Finally, we got Christian into the right line, but if looks could have killed, I would be dead. Mr. Hagen, his teacher, came over and wrote down how he was getting home. He could see all was not well and reassured Christian he would take good care of him. Christian was not convinced and barked at me that I could go. Fortunately, by the time school was over and the bus dropped the two off, Christian was happy again. He showed me where his classroom was this morning and immediately started playing with the Legos at before care! Whew, what a first day!

Undo

A new super hero has came to our home this past summer. Especially when we had that hot streak. From the first sweat inducing sunrise to the calming fall winds, we have nothing to fear because UNDO (pronounced un-Dough) is here. He strips of his clothes once he reaches home and is hard to find because Undo only wears his camouflage underwear around the house. Building lego set's faster than a 10-year-old, scaring grandma near death by his sight and teasing little siblings with delight, Undo Is HERE!

He's even come to our aid with a cape at certain points, though I don't think he has any super powers, he still announces his arrival with Undo Is Here! Sadly, Undo's summer reign is about to be over. His summer of fun is ending this weekend as he is starting school on Monday. I'm sure Undo will make his appearance from time to time this fall, but it won't be as often as this summer. This may be Undo's last appearance, so you better see while you can.

All Legs

Christian has sprouted yet again. Dale, Annie and I measured him and he was 4-6. Of course, 3 foot of that is legs. He is going to be one tall guy, and he is not even as tall as some of the kids in his class. Speaking of class, Christian wanted Mr. Hagen for his third grade teacher, and his wish may have come true. When Huts checked the site this morning, it said that Christian was going to have Mr. Hagen. This is the first time he has had a man, but he doesn’t seem to mind. I hear Mr. Hagen is a very nice guy, and I am looking forward to meeting him.
