I spent this weekend at WordCamp (a conference for WordPress enthusiasts), so Mr. Family Brick took a day off from work to take care of The Little Brick on Saturday. As it turns out, it was also one of the LEGO Club Meeting days. Instead of taking her the weekend before, I rescheduled her for
As it turns out, the list of things I’ve been waiting on buying until VIP Double Points came back around was only slightly different from what I walked out with from the LEGO store.

When we went to this month’s mini build, we were invited to go to the Monthly LEGO Club Meeting. We’ve never been, so we thought “why not?” and signed up. Since I’ve never been to a club meeting, I can’t tell you what *normally* happens. For this one though, it consisted of a scavenger hunt

Our initial visit wasn’t just to go to the store, but also to celebrate the Little Brick’s birthday! Our brick off the old block (hah – I’m so
For my readers around the world who have never seen a Brick Wall, may I present the LEGO Brick Wall from the North Point Mall store: We love going to the store to browse the Brick Wall and play with all the bricks. It feels a little like finding a cave full of treasure and
When I picked up the two boxes of LEGO bricks for Mr. Family Brick’s birthday, we realized we needed a better system to organize our collection. So at 10pm on a Sunday night, we decided to re-organize. Our initial collection was sorted by color. All the blues with blues, all the greens with greens, etc…
Today is Mr. Family Brick’s birthday. (Happy Birthday honey!) Since we scraped the building of the Green Grocer for now, we decided we would try to build the Fire Brigade. So, for his birthday, I spent hours on BrickLink.com, looking for some of the missing pieces (mainly tiles and plates) that have had him stuck
