Lego Creations

About a month or so ago Greg cleaned up a bunch of old Legos that were his when he was a kid. Evan quickly began to start building things with them. It soon became one of his favorite things to do at night with Daddy after Emme went to bed. Then he got some Lego kits to build specific things with... cars, boats, helicopters, etc. Some of the kits you can build more than one thing with the same pieces. First he had one Lego creation, then two, then three, and now he's starting to get quite a collection. The minute he gets them home he wants to get started on them. However we have this rule that he can only do the one's with really tiny pieces after Em is in bed because the teeny tiny pieces make me a little nervous should she get her hands on them. On Sunday while he was at Greg's mom's they went to Target and he got yet another Lego set. Sure enough the minute Emme went to bed last night, Evan was ready to put the Legos together. Greg told Evan that if he wanted to do the Legos last night that he would have to work on it by himself this time because Greg didn't really feel like doing Legos AGAIN. So Evan got the instructions out and laid out the pieces and started going at it. He actually ended up doing very well and only had a little bit of help from Greg. He basically did most of it himself though. I was very proud of my little guy. The creation he was building was a police car that was for ages 5-12. Here's a picture of all his lego creations so far.


The one on the bottom left is the little police car he did mostly by himself last night. Pretty good huh? I like the green and white one on the right. Evan calls this one his Spartan mobile!

Speaking of Spartans! I got behind on my blogging last week and forgot to mention our loss in the Final Four. I didn't want you to think I wouldn't talk about my beloved Spartans just because they lost since you heard so much about their wins. It was a disappointing end to our season, but I do commend the guys for getting as far as they did without Kalin Lucas and with a lot of injured guys. They played hard and should be very proud. The Final Four game was not the game that most had hoped for. Not just because they lost, but because of the way the second half went with those guys in black and white, but we'll just leave it at that. I think the whole tournament actually was poorly officiated, but it is what it is. Even though we got beat by Butler, we wanted them to win the championship game. I have a strong dislike for Duke as do many, and it's unfortunate that they get the title of champions. They had the easiest bracket and in my opinion Butler played that game more like a champion team than Duke. However once again it came down to calls. As for my Spartans, I'm hoping a couple of the players who are thinking of going pro decide not to and return for another year. Here's hoping we can have a great run in basketball next year! GO STATE!
