in Legos..... !!!
This Luke and Ellie's football field creation....complete with yard lines, goal posts and bleachers.
Here is the ultra-competitive coach....
.... the raucous crowd....
... the "impartial" refs
I didn't get a picture of the concession stand in back of the bleachers or the skittles for sale. No kidding. Our last stop in on our OKC trip was the first stop that Luke wanted to make, (I know this because he asked me about 2 million times when we were going to the Lego store) but we had to wait to the very end to go there! (and unfortunately by that time the little dude had lost his shopping priveleges. - this had something to do with karate chopping bottles on glass shelves while at POPs)
The Lego Store in Penn Square Mall was stop #4. Needless to say, Luke was in lego-heaven. What was cool was how much all the girls in the group dug the Lego Store too. Nana ended up with quite a haul in Christmas presents. (She buys early. Lest you think that July is early, please understand she starts in January.) (and Luke got the much-anticipated Space Shuttle, hopefully he'll forget about it by Christmas.) (highly doubtful),
Let's just pray the Lego Store stays in OKC for now; it is too much of an obsession and/or temptation for our little Lego lover!
I'm so sorry mom. I'm sorry I did that. I was wrong, and I made you a lego creation to make up for it.
I love you so much and I am sooooooo sorry. He's a madman I tell you!
Every since we returned from our 6 day stay in Cancun, Luke can think of nothing and I mean nothing but Legos. It's as though he's taking one long drag on his Lego cigarette. Ahhhhhh!
Saturday, while Tom and I unpacked, did laundry, cleared out the Thanksgiving decor, etc., Luke made Lego creations FROM 9 AM to 9 PM. Twelve hours of Legos. No breaks. No commercials. No kidding. The child didn't even want to eat. Yesterday was no different, although I did have to to force him get out of the house to visit Granny and Gran Carolyn. That was like extracting his toenails.
Then yesterday evening, I began to find some strange items around the house.
A screwdriver. 3 tiny screws. 
And the remainder of this little basketball prism that lights up and twirls around on a base in his room. He uses it as a night light.
Or should I say USED it as a night light.
There's a war going on in our house.
Look carefully.
Can you see it?
No, it's not mommy vs. Kami during piano practice
Can you feel the epic saga going on right under our noses?
Here, let me zoom in for you.
It's a classic story of good vs. evil.
Of tragedy and courage. Of heroes and villians.
It's the solider willing to die for his cause... never giving up hope, following the orders of his commander to the death.
The stormtrooper um... stormtrooping over the smooth piano casing waiting for destiny to occur.
As Yoda and his protege look on.
