Legos, legos everywhere...

Moms can relate. I'm drowning in Legos. Matthew loves them. He needs them. He can't get rid of any of them. I have totes full. I do have to give credit to Matthew: he picks them up when he's done playing with them. Recently I stumbled upon an organization system I think we might give a try.

This invention, the box-4-blox boasts it can hold up to 1700 Lego bricks. At $29.99 each, it's definitely not the cheapest solution, but it gets points for originality. I think I will nudge Santa to bring this one!

And I'll definitely come back to review it for you!

Back to my story...Matthew can't get enough Legos. Of course, they are always the $90 sets that never stay put together. But I digress. It keeps him happy & busy for hours. They keep him creative. And he loves them. Adores them. Has for years.

This year he made out his Christmas list for Santa and there were 2 Lego sets listed. I wasn't familiar with either set so I innocently inquired how much each cost (hey, gotta watch out for dear Santa's budget, ya know). $10 each. Shocked, I was. He wants 2 little Star Wars sets. Wow. Yoda didn't prepare me for this one. I think Santa can handle that. Good boy!

Of course, it's only November 17th and we have well over a month for him to find more expensive sets to add to his list. And we will be visiting the Lego Store when we are at DisneyWorld next month. So my joy for Santa may be short-lived, but I'll bask in the glory -- for now.
