Lego… Lego everywhere. Win a Lego Prize pack!
Is it just me or do most houses with kids in them get taken over with Lego? I’ve found the little coloured bricks in the washing, pantry, in my bed, the fridge, in the car…. everywhere!
I don’t think anything can compare to the pain of standing on one of those little mofo’s in the middle of the night… not even child birth can compare to the indent in your foot created by those little plastic weapons of mass foot destruction!
The best thing ever was when I bought my Dyson vacuum cleaner and the Lego bricks don’t clog it up like they used to in the old Hoover. As I have told the boys, if it’s on the floor when I’m vacuuming then it’s fair game for the Dyson to suck it up… yes, I am mean mother like that!
Mind you, Lego has been in this household for sixteen plus years With three boys who love it, there is definitely not a shortage of it here. Two extra large tubs here and three large tubs at their Dad’s house and they still want more! I find it interesting that Lego has been in Australia for 50 year and still manages to capture the imagination of children the world over.
I used to play with my brother’s Lego when I was younger and preferred Lego to playing with my barbie dolls. Well yes, I was a tomboy but making houses out of Lego was fun.
Anyway, back to the present day.
Even the cat plays with Lego. You can’t help but laugh at a cat hitting around a piece of Lego on tiled floors and rolling around with it in her paws and then carrying it around in her mouth like a prized piece of meat. Just too cute for words! Although, the boys aren’t too impressed when they can’t get the Lego off her.
If you haven’t yet ventured into Myer Melbourne yet, I highly recommend doing so. Not just for the store itself but for the amazing Lego displays. The boys loved it. Here are some pictures of the boys in Myer and some of the Lego displays:
Aren’t they amazing? You would have to wonder who has the patience to build them and the time it took, don’t you?
To celebrate our love of Lego, we are giving away 1 of 4 LEGO Monster Fighters Prize packs!
The boys received a pack to review/ evaluate and they said it was ‘awesome’. They have been having battles etc with the figures and playing with them for hours, so I take that as a pretty good sign the Monster Fighters Lego is pretty cool!
To Enter:

Entries close 28th October at 5pm. Good Luck!!

As they love leaving it lying around on the floor, so mummy does her “Ooowwww Ooowwww” dance hopping on one foot after stepping on it!

They are loving the constant challenge of putting it together; pulling it apart etc and I am loving that it is a toy being used more than once!

My son loves building towers, and now that he’s old enough to handle lego he can make them bigger than he is.

Eight kids plus Lego equals heaps of variety to keep them all happy! In pairs or individually! Mum’s sanity is forever grateful!

I’m sure the Monsters Lego would love to meet our Star Wars, Toy Story, Ninjago, SpongeBob & Indiana Jones Lego. They’ll be one happy family!

Lego turns my boys into building pals, police and bad guys, vampires fighting the jedhi – two brothers, building a friendship as strong as the Lego

Miss 7 is one of 5 and Lego takes her into her own world away from her siblings – she loves it!
