Epic Lego Building

There's been some serious summertime lego building going on around here. Mel and Hyrum and Wes are working on a house ~ Wes made the boys' room, with a toy car and remote control robot (looks like Walle in picture 2 here)

Their lego family has a home theater with a Wii game console on top (love the controls!)

 The lovely contemporary kitchen - looks like something straight out of an Ikea catalog (love the cabinets and countertop!!)

Piano, fireplace, lovely white chair... this home has it all

Then in another part of town is the police station. Nice parking lot, boys.

If I'm in the room looking at their creations, my little shadow Natalie is always sure to follow. And she goes straight for the goods - trying to cause chaos and destruction. Can't get much more chaotic in this room though (see the floor behind Natalie? yeah... that's just one corner of it)

She puts a lego head in her mouth every now and then, which we quickly fish out. She does pretty good, but usually we keep her out of the lego room.

And here we have Ethan's pride and joy, the Lego hotel.

The walls of each floor open or remove so that the hotel guests can have some privacy.

It's fun to see them be creative. Not too much cleaning has been going on this week, I guess I'm guilty of allowing slacking cause I've got "oh, it's the first week of summer" justification going on in my brain. We'll try to have a good family yard work day tomorrow and hopefully that will jump start us for next week and we'll get the ball rolling. :)
