Lego Build Night

Each month, the Lego store offers a free build night from 5-7pm.  Jenn and her family are regulars at the build night, and when she reminded me about it, the timing was perfect.  Karsten's been having so much fun with Legos lately, we decided to check it out.

Karsten now calls the mall the 'Build a Bear Mall' since his last trip here was to make a bear.  Until that trip, he didn't know the Lego Store existed - now, he wants to go back all the time!

Scott picked up the boys and beat me to the mall - thank goodness, because otherwise we wouldn't have gotten to do the build.  They only have 300 packets and by 5:20pm they were gone!  We got two of the last ones!

We had to wait in line for a few minutes, but then the boys got right to work when we got in there.  They were building a cool spaceship.


Scott helped Liam and Karsten did a pretty good job on his own.  I helped him after a bit because he kept getting distracted by all of the Lego sets on the shelves and all the people in the store.  I may not be the best Lego builder because we ended up with a few extra pieces and a store employee showed us where they were supposed to go.

Jenn, being the Lego pro she is, suggested taking their picture in front of the Lego brick wall.  There was so much going on, they would rather have looked anywhere but at me, so this is as good as it gets.


They had a great time and asked when they could come back!  Karsten spent some of his tooth fairy money on a snowmobile with a cool Lego guy.  After the Lego store, we went out to dinner before we headed home after a fun night.  I think this may become a monthly tradition for us!
