It was a perfect opportunity - we parted with a full half of our Legos and guess what? Lego play has not been hindered in the least!! So, when you say you have an obscene number of Legos, this is one family that can definitely identify!The Hibbard Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066058156943532164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-52400688312687596532009-08-26T17:17:25.150-07:002009-08-26T17:17:25.150-07:00To be honest, I've always been kind of a tombo...To be honest, I've always been kind of a tomboy.

The girls like Ello. Lots of little pieces like LEGO,except even worse many are round so they rrrrrollllll -- everywhere.<br /><br />I heartily agree that if the addiction keeps them from the electronic stuff, keep it coming! LEGO builds imagination and creativity. Something many children are lacking these days.<br /><br />I can't quite say I feel your pain, but I can envision it :0).

Maybe for Christmas...<br /><br />I'm not sure if you can actually own too many Legos- I loved them as a kid and can't wait to get the "real" Lego sets to build castles and trains. And my brother-in-law has a fully motorized Lego monorail kit he is going to give to us "when the boys get old enough." I can't wait to get that one!leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-38208400663847202422009-08-26T05:44:45.846-07:002009-08-26T05:44:45.846-07:00What an enjoyable post!
