Lego king..

Sam has informed us that he will indeed go to college when he grows up but only if he can do a degree in lego as he wants to be a lego designer when he grows up. It seems as if he has done nothing the past week but lego. He bought most of the aquaraiders set with his lego land money and nana and grandad brought him back part of the set from their vacation. He is very singleminded when doing lego and will sit for hours putting together a set or doing creations. The only problem is we are running out of room for all his sets and creations-think we are going to have to start putting up shelves in his room and the play room!

We have had a good and busy month. Just after sam's bday C arrived and I don't think we sat down the whole time she was here. We visited Warwick Castle, Woolsthorpe, saw the sights of leicester, visited friends and had a whistle stop tour of Paris. Paris was fantastic, and even sam enjoyed himself. He didn't get bored with the sightseeing and was very keen to hear all about the history of the sites we visited. He was a very brave boy and walked up and down the arc d' trimophe and the tour eiffel without batting an eyelid. Wish I could say the same for me! The tour eiffel wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, infact I think the lift down was more nerve racking than walking up the stairs. We managed to fit in a bit of shopping which was a much fun as the sightseeing and you will be surprised to learn that sam threw himself into the shopping wholeheartedly. he came away with a clutch of knights and a catapult not to mention several good french children's books. The weather favored us and made wandering around the city even more delightful. It was nice having C with us and I hope she enjoyed the trip as much as we did. We were so exhausted after paris that we just mooched for her last two days.

C left on monday and we were said that she had to leave. I hope she enjoyed the visit, I know we were delighted to have her here.
