Lego's wicked. I never knew until now. Sweeney got Lego for his birthday and it's really captured me. I've been checking out sites for ideas of things to build.
Knitting has hardly had a look in this week. Nor has the study I was supposed to launch myself into as soon as Sweeney's birthday was over.

Ahem.
So here's what Sweeney and I built together. I don't think Sweeney realises you can take them apart and build other things, which is really quite nice because I love seeing him play with his (and my) first Lego figures.
Check out how the horse is sitting on top of the float. On top. Crazy. You can do that with Lego.
Also check out how most of the things he got for his birthday are still on the table in the living room. And how long has that orange been there, I wonder ...
In other news, I've just remembered I bought him a bucket of general Lego pieces for his birthday but I forgot to give them to him. Trying to avoid preschoolers spurting a spray of Lego pieces around the house, I decided to keep them for after the party. This is pretty much wayyyyy after the party.
Maybe I should practice putting together some trucks or something tonight while he's in bed ...

We're just getting into Lego at the moment too, although a bit short on basic blocks which make me a lot happier than the very specific sets that are designed to make one vehicle sort of thing. Where's the fun in that? Anyways, your post made me think of this great one I came across last year and bookmarked for future reference. I'm glad I thought of it because it's just as cool now as it was when I first found it! http://www.filthwizardry.com/2009/12/lego-and-hole-punching-card.html
Lego is amazing :)
Our house is pretty much Lego mania. Abraham is great at making all sorts of things, and Aesop is just starting to really make things that look like anything more than a bunch of blocks. Me, on the other hand, I like to build giant towers, basic houses and, well, that's about all. Is it just me or does Lego seem to be geared so much more towards the male brain? (or is it just that it doesn't lend itself so well to mine and I'm generalising?)
My son (23yrs.old now) was a lego fanatic. His collection filled a large plastic box that I still have. He loved them so much I just couldn't get rid of them. Once he built The Ark of the Covenant with legos. It had dolphins on the top instead of angels. I plan to give them to his kids. I swam in legos for years.
We're having some duplo moments here. I'm getting a bit of a buzz out of the colours - our set is bright and primary with green, orange and brown thrown in for fun. The orange and brown blocks make it all pretty cool - I only ever had red, yellow blue and green.
Yes - Lego is very wicked.
