9.1.2010

{today. now. here. life.}
do you ever hear something & because you are so
preoccupied/overwhelm/distracted
that you file it away in a place
to be remembered later?
(hopefully)
-
perhaps it was the new lego catalog arriving
the other day.
perhaps it was colins routine of
creating with legos between
school & homework every afternoon.
perhaps it was the fact that my
to-do list is under control.
perhaps my amnesia has cleared.
but suddenly today, i remembered
sarah telling me MONTHS ago that
a lego store was opening in austin.
heard it.
filed it.
remembered it.
and of course with the instant
gratification of google, i was smiling & colin
was grinning from ear to ear.
A LEGO STORE OPENED IN AUGUST
RIGHT HERE IN AUSTIN.
honest.
not a coming soon store.
an open store.
and it didn't take long for us to memorize
the store hours, the workshop calendar &
the directions.
-
a weekend trip is in the planning stages.
a contest was noted & colin was quick to participate.
create a lego mini make-and-take.
25 - 40 legos.

he was all about the contest.
100.00 lego gift card is the prize.
he is serious.
he created 5 lego masterpieces.
we voted on the best creation.
the school bus won.
he tweaked it.
he improved it.
he counted the pieces.
he added to it.
he changed it.
a stop sign was designed.
he is ready to submit.
he was so excited today, you would of
thought it was christmas around here.

clear the weekend schedule.
we have a mission to support.
