C's Lego monster

Remember that big bucket of Legos that C bought at a garage sale? The bucket did NOT come with any directions, but there were pictures on the side of what could be made from the enclosed Legos. Just by looking at the picture, C was able to make the monster. I think he did really good. Very proud of him for being able to translate the picture into his creation. And for having the patience to do it too. Good job, C!

Legos

Two neighbors decided to have a garage sale this past Saturday. No idea why but I guess they both did pretty good. I know we contributed to both.

C found a bucket of Legos for $2. I'm pretty sure this same bucket was at this neighbors last garage sale for at least $10 more. Anyways. I digress. C was very excited; immediately came home and paid Daddy back with money out of his piggy bank. He and K played with it for a few hours and then I decided to see how many pieces were actually in it. The side of the bucket said there were supposed to be 650 pieces. There was also a list of exactly what pieces were supposed to be in there.

It took me awhile (I also Lysol-ed them in there too). He is actually only missing 11 pieces out of the entire bucket! For only $2! You can't beat that! There were a few extra pieces that weren't listed, too.

I wish I would have taken a picture of the Legos actually in the bucket. They only filled up about 1/4 of that big ole' bucket. Very mis-leading. Oh well.
