LEGO Master Builder Academy Building Challenge!
I love LEGO contests for kids! Just got the new LEGO magazine in the mail yesterday. Well, the boys did, but I think it's cool, too. I don't see this Building Challenge on their website so if your kid is a LEGO freak and doesn't yet get the magazine, here are the details of the Challenge:
It says to take a look at the sneak peek LEGO Master Builder Technique on a page of the magazine, and they call it "Sideways Building." It's basically just making something cool out of LEGOs that is not going straight up and down!
"We'll pick 10 of our favorite models and give each of their builders a LEGO gift card worth $100.
How to enter:
1. Build a model of an outer space vehicle using pieces from your LEGO brick collection. Make sure it includes Sideways Building!
2. Take a color photograph of your model. Color photos or photo-quality computer print-outs only. No Polaroids, please.
3. Write a description of 150 words or less telling us about your model. Don't forget to say how you used Sideways Building to make it!
4. Mail your photo along with your name, age, address, daytime phone number and the name of your model to:
LEGO MBA Building Challenge
PO Box 1625
Enfield, CT 06083-1625
All entries must be received by September 30, 2011!"

Fourth of July
What is it about lighting a firecracker, throwing it REALLY fast and then hearing it BANG! that is so much fun? Most years I'm inside nursing a baby or being pregnant and hot. I did miss festivities last night due to a baby who likes to fall asleep for a nap/bedtime at 7 p.m. lately, but I did get to blow up some firecrackers yesterday. It's actually illegal in my city/county, so don't tell the fuzz, okay?
So today we went to a parade in Lenexa and got tons of candy. Now we're at my aunt's house in another county so we can LEGALLY blow stuff up. Later we'll go out hunting for a great display ... we haven't seen a real display since like 2001 when Joel was a mere week old and I sat in the truck nursing him while we watched fireworks.
What are your plans? Whatever you do, enjoy your independence and your freedom!
