It has been lego mad here in the last few days. Sam has been busy building the bat cave as well as star wars lego and he isn't done yet. I think tomorrow he is tackling the batmobile. It has been a lovely christmas week, lots of lovely presents, lots of family and friends and lots (perhaps too much food and drink).
Christmas and Boxing day were lovely, xmas day it was just the three of us and boxing day M's parents came up. Christmas day started at a fairly decent 7 am with the first wave of presents, followed by breakfast, dog walking and more presents. Thanks to St. Mary and St. Martha the goose was cooked to perfection (or perfection for me) and we all ate so well that we forgot about the xmas pudding! Santa was very good to us all, especially me-I received beautiful jewellery from M as well as nice smellies from sam and the doggies. Sam was blessed with lots of lego and warhammer as well as games and cds. Santa brought M an iphone and he has spent most of this week learning to drive it. The pups received a bumper pack of toys and treats, most of the toys were shredded within a matter of hours!!!
Boxing day M's parents came up and we had a second christmas, this time with beef.It was a very jolly day and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did.
We managed to see golden compass and were bitterly disapointed. Having both read the book and listened to the audio book we all felt that the movie did not live up the original story. I think if you saw the movie without having read the book it would probably be a good fantasy adventure but if you have read the book prepare to be disapointed.
This weekend saw the launch of sam's new radio controlled boat (thank you nan and grandad!)It sails really well and both boys had fun, despite having to retrive it from the reeds several times. Unfortunately we were so busy having fun that we didn't get any pics! Next time I promise.
Saturday we went to lunch at sam's friend J's house. It was a very nice way to spend the afternoon. All the adults had a good natter while the boys played, mainly on J's new Wii. Sam had a go at boxing and he was sweating by the end of it. M had a go too and I am not sure who enjoyed it more. I have a feeling that "I want a Wii" is now going to be a constant refrain in our house now.

Small got a batcopter and the chase for scarecrow lego and it was complicated! Impressed if Sam has done all that building by himself.
He did build it all himself I only helped with sorting out the pieces which was a complete nightmare as the bags weren't numbered! I think it took us almost as long to sort them by type and color as it did for him to build the cave. Is small enjoying the batcopter?
Happy New Year Tammy! Glad to hear the goose was cooked to perfection. We are in the midst of Lego mania. We even raided his folks attic and brought home all of his old sets!
The old sets are great aren't they? Sam uses a few of M's when we go to his parents and they still have the original instruction books!
Yes--ours came with all the instructions in a nice folder as well. His parents keep everything! The old directions are also still online at their website. The printouts are a bit easier for K to follow--and no worries about lsing them now.
didn't realize that they had instructions on line as well, that is worth knowing as sam's instructions regularly go missing!
