Lego Pacman

Out of the blue Reese created these characters from the Pacman game. No instructions whatsoever. He did not even refer to any pictures while building them. I am very impressed with this. 

Lego getting out of hand.....

Reese and his daddy have been spending hours building a LEGO city. It is getting very big and totally fun to build. Our city has a police station, fire station, some houses, shops, a construction site, a ruin, a library, a Star wars lab, bridges, a jail, a car workshop, a cemetery and etc. Lego is expensive in Malaysia but it is so worth the investment. I am going to keep our collection for my grandchildren!

For parents who are looking to get some used bricks or cheaper genuine Lego, check out E-Bay or get friends to bring back from USA. One way to save is to buy bricks instead of theme based LEGO sets. You can find all the LEGO instruction manuals for free in PDF format online. More specifically LEGO's website. There is a huge LEGO community where they share ideas, technique and many more in building LEGO. Reese and his daddy are working towards building interesting stuff using more specialised parts. Recently I bought 2 books on Lego and the boys are totally inspired!

These books are great. If you're a big LEGO fan, you've probably already seen tons of examples of what creativity and LEGO bricks can bring.

This is Reese's play area in the new house. See the shelves with colourful containers? That is where we keep our Lego collection. We separate the bricks according to colour and the specialised parts in plastic containers with compartments. 

Our city!

More Legos!!!

See the happy boy?

Yesterday we went to pick up some free Legos from Reese's art exhibition organiser. I have requested for some Lego parts and what a surprise when I saw the box. Our lovely organiser managed to get Lego Malaysia to give us a huge box of mix bricks and parts!!! The box is at least 10kgs. I really want to thank Lego Malaysia for all the sponsored bricks and parts. 

Reese was super excited when we opened up the box last night. He started dancing and screaming..... "I am going mad, I am going mad!" repeatedly. 

Daddy and Reese working together to sort out the pieces

We spent over 2 hours sorting the bricks and then realised that we do not have enough containers to hold them all! Today I will be going to Ikea to get more containers. Looks like we really need to get another storage unit just for Legos. 

Lego paradise!

Another Lego Creation

Reese made another wonderful structure. First it was suppose to be a very long aqueduct. Then he started to add bits and pieces here and there. Over the course of 1 week he ended up with a really nice structure (Reese said it is a cathedral) complete with a big dome. Playing Mindcraft helps! :)

First it was an aqueduct....
