Well I nearly lopped off a finger cooking dinner so I'm out for the evening. I did get really nice flowers and a kitchen island that hubby put together for me. Little mancub is building a city out of legos and I'm watching where I step. Those things hurt when you step on them! Yeeouch!

Legos are awesome - except the freaking sets that you can only ever get together correctly once.

And yes they do hurt like heck when stepped on.

I used to like Lincoln Logs as a kid too.

Tinker Toys were my thing.
Back in my day we had the good kind that were real wood with lead paint.

I did too. They had a real sheen that made them realistic. They were plastic by my day, but they were fun. My set had a red door.

Well, sweetie, if he had lived, my dad would be 90 years old this May. Maybe y'all played together.

I'm still out of work, the wife is still recovering from a broken pelvis, and the boy has had the stomach flu all day.

Valentines Day sucks giant marble boulders through garden hose this year.

Still haven't heard anything about work, D6?

I'm going to turn in. It's been a long day.

Stuck in the frozen tundra of Iowa. Tried to go out for dinner earlier since today is my only day off. Found out that basically anyone with a table had over an hour wait.

Got McDonald's drive-thru and am now back at the hotel room. Going to bed soon since the alarm is already set up for 5 tomorrow morning.

Only two more weeks of this fun, kids!

The set I had was wood.

Oh and I liked playing with erector sets too. I had one with the battery operated motor. I had great fun building things with it. Pretty easy to lose the tiny nuts and bolts in the carpet though.

We got my son a set of Lincoln Logs for christmas last year. He uses them to build structures for him to crash into with his CarsÂ® cars.

Heh. My brother and I used to build these giant, rolling Lego monstrosities and sit at opposite ends of the hallway and crash them into each other. It was fun. I did the same with the old metal Tonka trucks. It wasn't a real truck until it looked like it had been through a demoilition derby.

My daughter had some friends over. They made a small bonfire last night and hung outside until after 1 in the morning. I watched Saw V all by my little self and then went to bed. Also by myself.
