"Pink, it was love at first sight"

I was really excited last week when Mrs M brought me some pink Lego (yes i am easily amused). I did feel a little guilty though too as it was brought on Seth's birthday, very naughty as its Seth's special day. Ive been after some bright coloured Lego for quite some time, we have a lot of Lego but have managed to avoid the nice colour bricks somehow. Well a few nights back Mrs M decided to watch a documentary about beards (she loves a good beard) so i sat down and started building with my new bricks.

Ive been dying to make something pretty. Its always batman and Star Wars builds in our house so being able to build with pinks and purples was great. So i set about building something cute for our minifigures to live in. The bricks are great but the little finishing touches that came with the pink box really added to the purchase.

After finishing the house i added the finishing touches and i couldn't help but chuckle to myself. The 'Girls Lego' (as they call it) came with a little Lego croissant, very feminine i thought...

That day we had also been to collect Sundays free Lego Kit from The Sun Newspaper and it was Frodo from Lord of the rings an apparently more manly Lego kit. Did he come with a croissant??? Oh no, he came with a much more macho German sausage...

Whats more macho than a German sausage?? That's right nothing! The house will be broken up soon I'm sure, i only used it for something quick to build to see what the new colours were like, i wish i had had them when i built Seth's Jokers Ice cream truck it would have ended up looking a lot nicer. Id like to build something more interesting with them now so if anyone out there has any ideas/requests please let me know, i love  a good challenge.

 

Thanks Mrs M for the fancy Lego, you've made this hairy nerd very happy.

"Pink isn't just a color, it's an attitude!"

Hello, It's Mrs M again!!!

I wanted to write a quick blog about an amazing offer I found on Lego, Duplo kits & brick sets yesterday! Boots are doing Lego Sets 3 for 2 at the moment, which is really good value! The 3 for 2 actually spans over lots of brands of toys and is a real money saver for Christmas!

I have been saving my Boots advantage points for ages, and I was also given quite a few thousand extra a few months back for being a loyal Boots customer, so I thought i'd put them to good use and buy some bits of Lego for the boys and Papa as Pauly has been wanting some for a while!

I bought 6 boxes of Lego using my Boots points, which in total cost me £0! A brilliant bargain!

 I think Opeie loves Boots as much as me!

The 3 for 2 lego! We also bought a box of blue lego for Seth for Christmas... Pauly said he wanted to start collecting the Pink Lego because he really loved the blue, green, purple and orange shades you get within the boxes... I totaly agree , the colours are beautiful and it is really lovely to look at visually!

I decided to treat Opeie to a couple of boxes of Duplo with my Boots Advantage Points, as he only had a really small collection of Duplo, about 30 bricks, and it was hard to make and build something with a very limited amount. So these are technically part of Opeies Christmas presents , but he's had it early.

The boxes are clever as the lids click tight on, and you can stack them perfectly too.

Opeie really loves playing with bricks and I think he finds the Duplo easier due to the size.

The boys had fun playing today and made a very colourful house for their Duplo bunnies.

 As I said before I love the colours of Lego bricks, and the Pink brick boxes are really lovely. Pauly being a big fan of green & pink combos is really in his eliment.... when we popped into Toys R Us earlier to pick up The Sun's free Lego Offer the store manager said he'd been to the Manchester Lego shop & how amazing it was.... apparently you can make Christmas baubles there & fill buckets with bricks of your choice! I think we will be going there at some point soon......
