Oh, it's cold. Cold, cold, cold... out there!!! Especially, when we have to wait for a school bus for 20 minutes or more. (Most days it's more then 20 minutes, it seems!) Yup, we have been blessed with this strange bus driver, who is either extremely late or suddenly one day way too early or in a foul mood... I just don't understand this woman. I generally don't like complaining about people, but this week I have considered filing an official complaint with the bus company. The only saving grace is Kaspar, who has not whined, complained or been outraged (like myslef) by the wait (or the cold) once. Bless that kid! :-)I was actually thinking of writing about LEGO, but after the long wait in the cold, I needed to get this out of my system!
Lego is amazing! On these cold winter days, Lego has become our life. I remember being absolutely amazed by Lego when I was a kid and it seems like my love for it has lasted and been rekindled through my kids' enjoyment of it. And the company is amazing at marketing the stuff, too, because on a certain level it becomes addictive not only for the kids, but parents, too. For example, the little Lego "surprise mini figure" packages (and they're not cheap, almost 3$!) are hard NOT to buy! And it's not only because Kaspar will beg and plead and even offer to wash dishes or clean the stairs, if I let him have a new mini figure. No, no! I like the thrill of collecting them as much as he does. I want to buy them just as much as he does. I want to see what's in the little green bag, too! And then there are Lego computer games and Lego magazines and Lego books and Kaspar and Daddy are even shooting a Lego stop action movie. Yes - Lego rocks!

What happened to the green metal slats with holes in them that I remember from my childhood? It just goes to show how out of date I am. I once built a donkey engine that worked — a real achievement. Do you remember donkey engines? The stationary ones that chugged merrily away? Judging from your photo of Kaspar, the little $3 packages contain people....? Inhabitants of the villages you build and drivers of all the wonderful machines you must be able to built today? Kaspar seems to be looking through skyscrapers.
Another comment on a previous blog on Stella: You not only have a fashion maven on your hands, you have an actress. She has so much action in the photo you took, she practically jumps out of the page at you. Have you ever thought of involving both kids in the Young People’s Theatre?
