A weekend building activity - Building a Lego Batman Tumbler

What do you want to do this weekend Seth? Erm.... I'd like to build a Lego tumbler! Seth could have chosen to do anything but that was his big plan for the weekend. He has been asking me for some time for a Batman tumbler and I'll be honest I've been avoiding it as Seth wanted it built with the Lego instructions we had downloaded online and I was concerned we wouldn't have all the parts. This weekend I finally caved and said I'd give it a go.

The sun was out for a change so there was no way we were going to spend the whole weekend building Lego so after Tae kwon do we headed over to visit auntie Lotty and had a good walk round the park and got the playground all to ourselves which was nice...

We got home at lunch time and once we had eaten we got on with the building.. When you have as much Lego as we do, building from downloaded instructions can be really tedious as it takes time searching for specific pieces, Seth was more than happy to help though and it's always nice spending time playing together. I knew somewhere along the build we would be missing a part, but as with all our builds I tweak them to make them work (I even had to melt and reshape a couple of pieces to make them fit).

It took us two days of serious rooting  but we managed to pull it together, Seth was really excited and kept saying he was really proud of me (so cute), he never said that when i made the Ice-cream parlour and that was from our imagination, kids! Seth's been playing with it none stop which is always great to see and Ive been told were attempting two-faces truck next so be sure to check in on us again. Anyway here's the finished piece...

"It's kryptonite, Superman. Little souvenir from the old home town. I spared no expense to make you feel right at home."

I really want Seth to write all of the posts about his birthday presents. It may take some time but we will get there. Its hard to get him to write during the week as he's usually pretty tired after school. We had William stay over this weekend as a late birthday celebration for Seth as that's what he had asked for.  Even though he was shattered when William went home (after their late night and 5am get up), i still managed to squeeze a post out of him, cleverly asking questions while we were playing Lego. So here he is...

"Me and pauly have been playing lots of Lego batman on the Xbox and on one of the levels we had to defeat the joker boss. It's a big joker robot. After that level you have to defeat Lex Luther in a big Lexbot. When we were in Florida mommy and Pauly brought me a Lego Lexbot which I love but I bet me and Pauly could make a better one couldn't we Pauly? Seth we could make a better anything!!

I like using the lexbot when I'm playing with my mini figures I pretend I'm playing the levels on the game. When I was playing a few weeks ago I said to Pauly that I would like a joker bot for my birthday. The joker bot was my last present to open and I was really excited because I wanted to battle my mini figures.

 
 We went out to the art gallery at Wolverhampton there were these headphones and this man was saying 'this way to Wolverhampton' in a funny voice. We did some drawing too, we had to draw things that happened in 2012 I drawed some of my birthday toys, mommy drew some of our rabbits cause weve had loads of new rabbits. Pauly drawed the avengers sign because there was a new film and he drew a golden ring because he gave one to mommy when we were at Florida.

 
 When we got home William came round in the car and he brought me something for my birthday when I opened it was a Lego batman bot and a cool batman car. I really liked them and I thought I could use him to battle the joker bot and Lex Luther. I was thinking I can't wait for William to come for the sleep over so we can play with them together."

Well that's two down, plenty more to go yet though. Hoping to get them all done by Christmas. Thank you William, Matthew, Vicki And Steve that was very kind of you, and if your interested in what Seth has to say about other presents so far click here.

Next up i think will be Nanny Roo's present which apparently was the highlight of Seth's day.

" Pauly & Seth's BATMAN JOKER'S FUN HOUSE Lego-Style! "

One of mine and Seth's favourite blog's is the Bat-Blog, its a great source of information and inspiration for all things batman. without it we would never had written our post about Card Craft. This week we were lucky enough to be mentioned on there and it was very exciting for Seth to know that other people are taking an interest in what we do.

Since reading this we managed to get hold of the imaginext Funhouse which Seth was writing a post about last night so hopefully that will be published this evening. Thanks Bat-blog for the mention we look forward to sending you a picture of our next Batman creation.
