Lego Castle PIP

[OrangePixyStix]

At the family dinner yesterday, my two brothers were beaming and gloating about the lego castle that took them 2 days to build. The 30-yr-old was more excited to see the Legos than the 5-year-old, since they were sets from our childhood that my mom kept in a box all these years. That was a good choice on her part seeing that they are so expensive nowadays!

Anyhow, here are my brothers and their accomplishment. And yes, I know one of them looks like an unshaven bum but no amount of snide remarks on my part have convinced him to get a haircut yet. I'm going to keep trying, though.

That's awesome!

Legos were seriously my fave toy as a kid, I was such a tomboy. I kept mine for a long time and finally gave them to my nephews.

How sad is it that I recently saw a commercial for a Lord of the Rings lego set and I seriously considered getting it. For myself!

Aww! Good job, boys!

Is that the brother that lives in San Diego?

Yes, that is boat-living-brother. Captain Kyle

I'm so jealous! H and I were watching a show about legos and it seriously made us want to get a big ass set.

I won't lie, I tinkered around with that thing for a good 10 minutes. The door is a drawstring bridge that actuall rolls up and down and the little men had weapons and shields. It is pretty rad.

Aw, nice job!

Neat! They definitely have some nice Lego skills! I loved Legos but I was never that creative.

Your nephew is a cutie, and I can see the resemblance between you and your brother. Is he older or younger?

They are both brothers, I don't have any nephews (yet)!

I'm the oldest of 4. The hairy brother just turned 31, the little one is 5, and then I have a sister who is 21. Quite the range, isn't it!?

I feel so horrible for your poor mother.. The thought makes me want to cry.

Oops! Reading comprehension fail on my part.

I think that's really neat, OPS! I'm the youngest of 4, and my oldest sibling is 14 years older than me. We're all spaced several years apart. It seems like most people have kids back-to-back, so it's rare that I meet someone else who has a significant age difference between siblings.
