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)

When fellow 365 project doers who live in the northern hemisphere started to complain on the fact that their days are getting shorter, I am rejoicing the opposite here living down under. The day light is getting longer, and the days are even longer still as summer is yet to arrive.

My kids were enjoying that short time post-dinner before they had to get ready to bed by playing with Mr 8’s 4WD remote control car together. When the batteries went flat we knew it was time to go in. They had great fun. And so did I.

Day 278 #Project365

 

279-365 the incident

This is today’s crime scene. The pink scissor was a dead give-away who the culprit was. Off to get a full confession now.

Served me right to ambush Ms.4 and Teddy in the hallway and ‘attack’ them with my camera. Well, at least Teddy was cooperative…

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.
