Wanna join us....

There's no doubt we are a LEGO family!  My kids love to build....

 Duplos,.....

and even Lego candy dispensers!!!

So when I saw this calendar of a daily challenge to build something related to Halloween, I printed it for my crew.  Max and Pookey responded with a resounding YES, and I know I have a few other Lego lovers that will jump into the challenge as well.

Please pass this challenge on to the Lego lovers in your house and if you haven't already followed me on Facebook, I would love to share any Lego builds that you have shared on my Raising Young Ones Facebook page or even any that you message me through Facebook.  I"ll post at least once a week sharing my kids' creations and some of yours!!

Build on, my friends!!!!  

Thankful Thursday - ed #3

So much to be thankful for!!  

Today has just been a normal school day.  But here's three things that stand out from today that I am extremely thankful for...

The kids (who are done with school) are playing Lego's and Max and Pookey just came out to me with this cool creation.  I love how their little brains are not limited with time and most especially space when it comes to creating.  Isn't this Lego dude the coolest?

Little Yoda was ready for a nap, and thankfully his sweet sister (who is almost done with her school) scooped him and up, and rocked him to sleep.  She's a multi-tasker at heart, so she has to squeeze in some reading while keeping babe asleep.  She's reading the last of the Mysterious Benedict Society books on our kindle.  I read the first three aloud to the four big kids over the last couple of years, and told them they have to read the last one on their own.  So of course, Melody is wasting no time at all.

And progress!!!  Plaster guys are here today.  Painting (plain ole white is hubs preference) and flooring next week!!  Can we possibly be done in the next couple of weeks?  I think so!!!

++Thank you, Lord, for your presence living and breathing among us in the simplicity of our lives!++
