My Creative Lego Kids

Beasts Castle

At 4:45am Andrew came into our room. He was up and ready for the day.He wasn’t going back to sleep so he and Allison build one of the LEGO sets that be got yesterday. When Eva woke up she joined him and they started building their own creations. Eva made this creation above. She explained it all to me before school. This is Beast’s Castle and through the window you can see the enchanted rose under glass. Then what you cannot see is some water that is running under the castle to a waterfall. I was quite proud of her imagination and creation.

Andrew was home with me again because of his fever yesterday. He had high temps off and on again today. We mostly took it easy and he was doing okay, a little coughing and a bit tired but fighting it. We picked Eva up from school because it was a half day. We also went to my parents’ house so that I could help dad install the flatscreen TV. He’s all ready to go for the big game Sunday.

Andrew Had a Half a Sick Day

Sick Day

Eva was sick for Monday and Tuesday. We figured that Andrew would be sick as well. He was doing fine on Wednesday and then was a bit tired Wednesday night. This morning he and Eva both used a Thyme oil steam to help them out. However, I got a call from Allison around 11:30 and she told me that Andrew had a high temp. I picked him up and took him to Toys R Us before going home. He had some money to spend there because some of his birthday gifts were duplicates. I figured that we’d be picking up one of the Jungle sets. Instead he picked up a container that was filled with LEGO bricks but wasn’t a specific set. I asked him why and he said that he didn’t want to be told what to build because that is boring. That’s my boy. He loves going his own way.

It was nice to have him home for the afternoon even though he slept through most of it. After lunch I we went upstairs so he could lay down while he watched some Llama, Llama on Netflix. I thought he was a bit old for the show but he enjoyed it very much. While he watched I read more of Ready Player One. I finished it today as Andrew drifted off to sleep. The book was incredible. I loved it! I did think it would be better if it had at least mentioned Thundercats or Transformers. The book did at least mention Voltron so that was cool. I wonder if Voltron will be in the movie.
