Constructions

Matt and Mike have been busy with the Lego just lately. I am reminding myself that one day the house will not have Lego everywhere. They both managed a rather impressive looking castle and here's just one section of it. I am thinking that I would not like to be a stablehand doing the mucking out at this particular castle:

A little earlier this year I suggested Mike make a pyramid with Lego when we were studying the pyramids of Egypt. I had intended that it would be a fairly small pyramid just to get the idea. I didn't bank on Matt's obsessions. Here is the pyramid:






Matt told me that it took exactly 1193 pieces of Lego to build it. The top part looks a little odd due to some improvisation with blocks to get it finished. I did not point that out to Matt. He would not sleep at night.


The latest Q son construction involves making the Empire State Building. Mike told me today that it was 54 centimetres high so far. At least while all the blocks are in the building they are not scattered all over the floor.


I remember once picking up some toys in our family room and Mike asked, "Are you vacuuming the floors today?"


My response was, "No, Mike, I just want to be able to see the floor."
