Relaxing at Home

Sometimes we just need a break from our busy schedule to relax and do nothing. The boys have been good and kept their room clean for more than just a few days , so I thought I’d give them a reward.

I was telling Michael how a coworker’s boys love Lego’s just as much as they do. I also informed him and Landon how these boys keep the Lego’s together, they don’t tear them apart 3 days later and leave them unable to be put back together. My boys were making some of their own cars and house so I told them how these other boys have a whole lego city built on a table that they can play with.

My boys instantly became excited and wanted to do the same thing. Only 1 problem, of all the Lego’s we own not a single one is a lego city all are either star wars or another superhero. Lucky enough for them I just happened to have airplane and truck set stashed for a rainy day. Even though it wasn’t a rainy day, I knew after the busy week they had, they could use a day to chill and build Lego’s

So I gave each of them a set and for 2 hours they worked like crazy beavers to get them done.

Years ago when the boys were into Thomas the train my dad made them a LARGE table to set the trains on. The table has been collecting dust in the basement so Michael and I hauled it upstairs to their room so that they would have a place to play with the new Lego’s. Of course they wanted a lake so I found a can of blue paint and added a lake for them.

For 2 days now they have been playing almost nonstop with those set and the best part, they are still together. I can’t help but think we have just wasted 2 beautiful days of summer in the house. But then I think of how great the boys have been playing together and we have plenty more sunny days ahead, so for now we’ll take a break inside.
