Lego

Tassy has quite a bit of Lego. Some is Dave's from when he was a child. Some is mine from when I was a child, although I accidentally killed most of my Lego a few years ago by sterilising the 25+yo pieces in boiling hot water. So DUMB. Don't ever do that. It totally warps it. I had to throw so much of it away it was heartbreaking. I had lots of house building type stuff like doors, windows, fences/railings, roof tiles. I loved all that stuff.

But back to Tassy's Lego. She said to me the other day "Do you know where the girl's hair is - the black hair with the ponytail?". There was no way I could find it amongst all the other Lego pieces - Lego people completely pulled to bits, including separated hands and even a pair of legs with one leg missing. I didn't even know that was possible! Plus all the rest of the regular Lego pieces in the box. So I set us a task of rebuilding ALL the Lego people. It took us a few hours, and we ended up with a few extra hands (does that mean there are some more bodies lying around somewhere?). I told her I had the perfect plan for her to find her people easily. She has this printers tray in her room that's never really had a purpose. It now has a perfect purpose. :)

Wow. that's fantastic!! It look fabulous. What patience you both had to find the bits and put all those people together.
What a shame about your old lego. You should have used Milton sterilising stuff. Well next time. I remembered that you loved the house building stuff and the roads. It must have been the architect in you.

I just bought a trinket display house from the op shop to display all my minifigs on! Think I'll paint it first tho.

Such a great idea!
Bummer about the boiling water. I'd never have thought. I've put ours in the dishwasher!!! Maybe I'll just go for the Pine O Clean from now on.

We only have a few sets of lego here, but I love it! to the point of colour coding it all to make it easier to build with!
