Lego Day

Yesterday's festivities left all of us pretty wiped out, with very little energy to do much of anything beyond what we had to do. So today's activity was one we could do from the living room floor. We all sat down (laid down at times) and built with the Lego's. We followed the directions for some of the kits we have and built some intricate figures.


We decided it's from Indiana Jones.

There's a bad guy behind those bars 


We also built random things we made up. I didn't get pictures of our really cool Indiana Jones set we created... it was scavenged for parts. But it included a jeep for him, a boat, a plane, a shovel, and a pit of snakes. Here's a few of the things I did get a picture of.

We also played a game of how many different ways can we organize the Lego's. We sorted them into piles by color, shape, size, and kind (my little girls favorite kind are the "flat" pieces). The simplicity of the day was a welcome breath of fresh air after all the planning and energy that went into yesterday, but the time we spent together was no less valuable. I give today a big thumbs up!
