I know I said I wasn’t going to do a separate post for this, but yesterday’s got long, and… I just feel like it.
So anyhow, as a recap, I thought it would be fun to take the fifty-two challenges from LEGO Quest and do one a week this year with the kids. If you’re interested in the link to the list of LEGO quests, it’s here (LINK). We had a wonderful time with it the first, week, so let’s continue!
Week Two: MONOCHROMATIC.Make something that is all one color,
or shades of just one color (like brown/beige).Be as creative and elaborate as you’d like, but do a good job!
Youngest to oldest: Lydia made a cellphone
for Baby Owen to play with!
Isaac helped Aaron… this is a turtle, or so I’m told.
Ethan built a speed boat in red!
Isaac built a ‘Space Zephyr’. And insisted I show two pictures,
so you can see how the top flips up. Kewl!!
Lydia did a Greek Temple, complete with Stone Statue and guard!
And I did a polar bear. Isaac protested the blue eyes,
but we didn’t have small grey thingers, and you wouldn’t see white.
I had to do two pics, too – because he has a hinged, waggy tail!!

I LOVE Lydia’s temple! And Isaac’s speed boat! They’re all very creative!
And I wanted to be sure Lydia knew that we got her note – the drawing is *beautiful*! It’s hanging on the Studio fridge, where we can admire it. (We have an art gallery of sorts going on there – the goal is to have nothing but handmade art on the walls/fridge/freezer there.) Please tell her Thank You very much!
That’s really cute! We’re still in the duplo/mega blocks stage. Legos are great but I’m holding off buying them because I HATE to step on those suckers.
