AJ's Room

AJ took over Chris and Tyler's room. it use to be themed airplanes, no surprise there! But now that he has grown up he wanted a change. So over the last 2 years, yes I'm a slow poke, we've been working toward a Star Wars theme.

When the roof got damaged and his ceiling was damaged, that is when his room was painted. He chose blue and silver. I found Clone Wars sheets, and bought an extra package to make curtains. I've had his desk in the garage for eons, I've started stripping it so we can refinish it and the old desk chair. Maybe this summer! Recently though, Dad installed shelves in his room to hold his Lego sets! AJ is a Lego fanatic when it comes to Star Wars! The store didn't have as many shelf brackets as I wanted, so we didn't get as many shelves as we quite needed, but what we did put up really helped.

Then, we put up the Fathead wall clings we had purchased for Christmas! WOW! The wall clings are really cool! AJ loves them :-) AJ thinks we are like the coolest parents on earth.

I let him decide how to arrange the furniture even though I can't get under the bunk beds to get to the dressers. He is happy for now and that is what matters. So, here are some pictures of the still in progress Star Wars room!


Installing shelves

Gizmo thinks the new shelves are for her!  Silly cat!

The Millennium Falcon looks awesome!  This Fathead is over 3' long!!

The Death Star, this one was hard to put up, it was so big, and little space to work!

Master Yoda has been up for quite some time! 

Here is one of the kites hanging, we still have more work to do but it is coming along!

May the Force Be With You!

Lego Arts Festival

Last weekend was the Arts Festival. It featured Lego Art!! Well I bet you know where this is going!
I wasn't able to go, I still can't walk well enough without aid, and going to a big exhibit was not for me. Chris took the kids with some other friends. Along with the art display was also a comic book convention. People were dressing up, soooooo, out came the Storm Trooper, and the Jawa!




Now, what is so cool, the picture that Chris is holding..... was drawn right there by an artist while Chris and AJ posed in costume! Not only is it an original piece of artwork, and Star Wars, but it is of Chris and AJ!!! Pretty awesome, I think!

Please remember, I was not there, some of these pictures, most in fact, are blurry. The kids even some friends kids were taking the pics!




I would have laid on the ground to take this photo! A lego pencil writing the word yes!



Half real bike, half lego bike! Cool!



Hmm, I guess when you are made of legos you risk coming apart at the seams?!!

Well, I tried to pic the unblurry pics, I have a ton more but they are not too good, so I will leave it at this! The kids had a great time. Wish I could have made it.

Are your kids hung up on Legos?

Lego Builder

If you've been reading my blog, you know that AJ received lots of Star Wars Lego sets for his Birthday. This update is to inform you that it only took a week (due to school) to build them! I don't know how he does it, he even built the 919 piece set all by himself!



Conquering the smaller sets!



I don't think I can do it Mom, we need to call big brother Chris!!!



I DID it!!!!
