My relationship with Legos is a rocky one; I am not going to lie. Don’t get me wrong, I simply adore the fact that my children can spend hours creating cities, castles, cars, putting together kits, etc. with Legos. I appreciate the cognitive benefits that Legos provide the children. I admire watching those wheels turn in their little brains and the joy come over their little faces when they connect and build from their imagination and instruction. What I don’t appreciate is the fact that they seem to multiply overnight!
I mean seriously, when did Legos start reproducing? And don’t even get me started on Lego pain…not to be confused with labor pain…though they are both up there in terms of intensity.
At first I had them under control. They were limited to one bin. Then we expanded our collection with each child, so we upsized to the large tub with wheels. Then the children grew but the Legos got smaller and multiplied much faster. Now we have Mega, Duplo, Ninjago, etc. strategically planted throughout the house, where ever I could find storage. At this rate, eventually our home will become taken over by Legos! Help!
Help has arrived…..

Don’t you think this is a genius idea? Little upset that you didn’t think of it? Are your kiddos big Legos fans? Do they have a favorite? Or maybe you yourself have a favorite Legos moment? Ever stepped on a Lego…no pain like that, huh? Please share.
Rental or not, they still hurt like #@#*! when you step on them in the middle of the night 😉
Ha-ha…so true!
Wow, that’s such a great idea! Thanks so much for sharing this on Waste Not Want Not Wednesday (psst, I think you forgot to add a link back to the party? Here it is just in case. http://poorandglutenfree.blogspot.com/2013/09/waste-not-want-not-wednesday-44.html )
