Legos

I didn't know it was possible, but I do believe I love Legos more now than I did when I was a kid. Cody's mom saved all of his Legos from when he was a kid and my mom actually did the same, so Barrett and Kyle have inherited about a million tiny little pieces to build to their heart's delight. They love 'em and so do I. They will play nicely with very little fighting for a really long time. It has been great for me because I haven't been sleeping well at night and those tiny blocks keep the boys entertained well enough for me to lay down on the sofa for a few minutes while they play. There are rules: They have to play at the coffee table and they have to pick up every single piece when they are finished. So far they have followed the rules (although I did step on a legoman toupee with my bare foot the other day...ouch!)
Here's a picture of the boys digging for just the right piece.
