I love lego's

[Dusty]

I was on Andi's thread about babysitting... and started missing kid's. I love Lego's. Do you still play? I do! One year on Christmas Eve.. hubby and I were playing Santa and Mrs. Claus (I was Santa) We spent 4 hours playing with the lego's... and to this day.. I still love them!~ ? I'm starting a poll. Um.. if I can figure out how.

Oh Man.. too bad!! Your kids and grandkids would have a ton more fun if ya digged on lego's. I feel sorry for them.

Lego's were/are still the best. All to the imagination. When we visit my in-laws they still have legos from when my wife and sister-in-law were growing up. Now our kids (5 and 2 1/2) are really getting into them. It's great.

Yup, grew up with brothers and tons of Lego's . . . . back in the day when you had to use your imagination to make ships, cars, spacemen, etc., because they didn't have all these kits with the extra parts for making Star Wars, Transformers, and other stuff. Everything we made had to be made from various sizes of squares and rectangles, and only came in Red, Blue, Yellow, or White!

Of course, you didn't want to be around when Mom or Dad would step on one wayward lego in their stocking feet!!

You still don't!

Yea, I play Legos with my boys sometimes, but since it is an indoor activity, we usually play in the fall winter.

When my kid's were younger, I marveled at the new lego kit's. Boy were they expensive! When my oldest son was in college, a family he knew lost everything to a house fire. They have quite a few kid's. He came home that weekend, packed up boxes and boxes of Lego's and donated them to the young boy's. I was so proud of my son that weekend. Needless to say, we are a lego free house. .. but that will change once I get some grandkids. If I ever get grandkids!

Love 'em. My boys are 21 and 18 and we had tons of Legos and the larger Duplos. We are sorting through our basement ( a whole other story) and practically every box I open has at least a few stray Legos on the bottom. I have insisted the Legos be
consolidated into one container. When the kids were little, we played for hours with Legos. They were good on trips with those little boxes that had the Lego mat the blocks attached to. The kids have had all kind of Lego kits (cars, castles, a tank, plane), but the very favorites are the primary color ones. I know they still play with them because when I go down the basement, sometimes I find the Legos out on the carpet, just like when they were little.
I am also kind of a junkie for erector sets, Lincoln logs and K'nex. We played with those all the time too. Good times. Great memories.

Well, I hadn't been playing with Lego's lately, but I am babysitting my 9-month-old grandson part-time. My DH and I shopped last week for some toys and we came home with a big bag of giant-sized Lego-type blocks. When I got them out for my grandson, he went crazy!!! It was great!!! He laughed and squealed and couldn't touch each one of them fast enough...

So, I guess I am back in the Lego game!

[Dusty]

Oh! He's so cute!!!

[newtohosta-no more]

We currently don't have any Legos, but I DO love them. Just like I still love a coloring book and a brand new box of crayons. I figure one day we'll have more Legos in the house. I just have to wait long enough for some grandkids.
Charla.....your grandson is beautiful! Please give that precious one a kiss on those adorable cheeks for me!

No legos in my house anymore, though there is still a bag of Duplo blocks somewhere leftover from the grandkids. I think all of the family Legos have consolidated at my youngest daughter's house where her 4 boys and their dad have built fantastic creations that covered the top of the pool table. Sadly, the boys are all teenagers now, and don't play with them much anymore. The youngest got them all out one day last fall when I was babysitting, and after building one or two small things he was done...and then didn't want to pick them up. I guess that never changes!
Charla, your grandson is cute as a button. I bet you don't get much done when he's there!

Lego

Do not have any anymore, it is all in my sons house. He have loved Lego and used it for every thing during the years. When he wa 14 they came out with a new hydraulic thing and he wanted it..at year 14 we thought he needed ther things for X-mas, but year by year it still was on his wish list.
When he became 30 it had bee away from the shopps for years, but the compagny helped us out...they found a shop in the other end of the country who had one left
When he got it , he told us he would wait and build t when his house was finished enough and he had a big table and the amount of time needed to really enjoy it. He builded it this X-as at the age of 34 and it is the focal thing in his office.
Yes darn expencive I know, but here we can sell it for half price and even expencive it have been used so much it was cheap in the long run

If you haven't figured out yet- Lego is Danish and we are proud abut it

Too bad I am accepted for making a poll !!!!
Would have liked to ask you :
1) Do you know what The Little Mermaid is ?
2) Have you ever heard anything about it ?
3) Never heard about it

Reason: Our brilliant politicans have after more than 6 months decided to send the sculpture of The Little Mermaide to China next year for the Expo
The Chineses will send us a copy in the periode when it is gone

I thinnk we were better send some bags of Lego

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my grandson. Linda you are absolutely correct - I don't get a thing done when he is here. Can't wait to get those blocks out again Wed. when he comes! Nothing more fun than watching those little eyes light up!
