Geeky Legos

In the last three weeks the hyperactive mini-daleks and I have been almost totally confined to our house. Anyone with children (especially very active ones) knows how hard it is for both them and the parent to have to stay in the house all day, let alone three weeks!

 It all started with our six-year-old catching strep throat. Of course it is very contagious so as soon as he got better, I caught it. Now this was just the beginning. A fever started showing up in our oldest son too so I presumed he had caught it as well. Little did I know, after taking him to the doctor's office and a series of chest x-rays the result was pneumonia! :-o Mom's stress and anxiety aside, this caused us to spend another ten days at home (he is fine now, thank God).

Well I am so grateful for the Lego company! They came out with these "Lego creators".

Lego Creator (Motorcycles)

Basically, with pieces from the same box of Legos, kids can make three different models.

Model 1

My youngest son loves these and spent most of the day building, breaking and rebuilding these models without getting too bored (three times the fun and the time it kept him occupied!) They are also pretty cheap (about $15/$20) considering the hours of peace it gave mom too in these last few weeks of illnesses.

Model 2

There are many different types of "Lego Creators". We like the motorcycles, airplanes, cars and helicopters but there are also dinosaurs and buildings. A great, fun, pretty cheap idea to cheer up children who for one reason or the other have to stay inside.

Thanks!

P.S: I thought they were pretty fun too. :D Shhhh...
