Day 330 #Project365

My son’s Lego table looked great for a couple of days after that big clean in August.  From then to now, more than 3 months long, the table was totally covered by Lego pieces that you couldn’t even see the surface anymore.

Today I couldn’t take it anymore. I could see some dust peeking through some of the pieces, so I just threw them all into the ‘half-way’ box (to be sorted out later), and separated all the ready-made pieces, and wiped the table clean. It felt damn good to be able to see the surface of the table again!

These are my son’s Heroes.

Now that the mess has been cleared out, I can now showcase them properly. Anyhow, we all know, these are not for display only, so I have no doubt this ‘photo pose’ position would only last for 5 minutes. Looking all my son’s Lego reminded me of  Woody’s and Buzz’s conversation:

Woody: I have no choice, Buzz. This is my only chance.
Buzz Lightyear: To do what? Watch kids from behind glass and never be loved again? Some life. (Toy Story 2)

Day 228 #Project365

Completed bodies went to one teeny tiny compartment, those without heads went to the other, those legs without bodies went to one, and heads only went to another. Who knew there were too many battle droids that we needed two compartments instead of just one, and another one for weapons only.

Every brick had been assorted and categorised, and everything was in their ‘assigned’ box (13 boxes in total, 3 of them with small compartments).

Exhale. Even though this is not going to last long, right this moment, the world feels right again.

Day 227 #Project365

When one sick kid on the weekend became two sick kids once the new week started, one had to find more creative ways to entertain the said kids. A collection of good movies were always valued in a time like this, but even watching movies has its limit. Playing board games was out of the questions considering the kids’ low energy. Coughs and sneezes were the music of the day, competing with the endless whining and whingeing.

For Mr 8 however, no energy was too low for Lego building. I found him in his room busy building his dragon and looked quite content. While he looked quite happy and content on the photo,  whilst the other photo gave me quite a different effect. The layer self-denial was getting pretty thin in blocking my vision to all of this, I couldn’t run away anymore. I think the time is here to finally do something about this mess. After I cleaned up all the play doh mess Ms 4 left on the dining table. Of course.

Day 180 #Project365

Stumbled upon the mess that was Mr 8’s room and found ‘our’ unsorted Lego box was filled to the brim. And there was another box also full you couldn’t put a lid on it. My inner OCD self was screaming while I closed the door as if I didn’t see anything.

artful bricks

One day in January we went to the Art of the Bricks exhibition. It was an exhibition of Lego sculptures by Nathan Sawaya as a treat for my son as part of his birthday presents. Everything that the guy made was amazing, the exhibition was very inspiring.

This hanging guy was my favourite. I hope my photo could do it justice.
