Birthday Legos


Oh, yes, can we please wake Mom up at 1-something in the morning so that she can take a picture now that we've finished assembling the TIE Fighter. As you can see, I didn't actually get up to take this shot. Now let me go back to sleep!!!



Travis busily putting the TIE Fighter together while Therin watches dazed and confused. Why are we putting Legos together now? Why?


All I can say is that I did not tell him how to hold the box or to adjust the box.

So, this box from amazon arrived today and I opened it thinking it was two books that I had ordered. When I saw Star Wars I knew it was the gift Julie and Josh had sent for Therin's birthday. I put it away and intended to give it to him on his birthday. For whatever reason, I read the invoice a little after midnight tonight and since it said, "I know it's hard to wait for your birthday, so we're sending your gift a little early." I figured I couldn't very well keep it until his birthday so I told Travis (who was having a hard time falling asleep) and he proceeded to wake up our son at 12:30ish a.m. to put together this Lego set because "Josh would've wanted it this way." We are all hoping this is a cherished memory. Note to self: NEVER bring up new Lego packages in the house to my husband after 8 p.m.

Thank you Julie and Josh! Therin was pumping his arms in the air after he opened it.
