The August 2015 LEGO Monthly Mini Build looks surprisingly like a squirrel, but in reality it’s a kangaroo! I was fairly far off the mark with my initial reference. In my defense, if you look at the picture from the mini build website, you could easily mistake what’s in the pouch for nuts. (Just give me
Oops! Don’t mind our hiccup…
Did you stop by the site this morning? If you did, you may have run across a GoDaddy “domain expired” message. We let our domain name lapse around here, by mistake of course… There’s been a lot of this going around this week: I usually don’t write about things that are too personal on The Family
4 Previous LEGO Series Minifigures Get Halloween Treatment
I ran across an article at the Italian LEGO blog Point Brick Blog where the they talk about what they call “easter eggs” related to the release of the LEGO Series 14 Halloween Minifigures. Italian is not one of the languages I speak, but from what I can gather (and their pictures help out a lot), they’re talking about the

LEGO Legends of Chima School Supplies for Back To School
This LEGO Legends of Chima School Supplies post is the third in a series of LEGO Back to School Supplies. So far, I’ve posted about LEGO School Supplies and LEGO Friends School Supplies. If you’re interested in those specifically, you should check them out. I was pleasantly surprised there were a few LEGO Legends of Chima
LEGO Friends School Supplies for Back To School
If you remember in my last post, I mentioned I found enough LEGO Friends School Supplies to write a separate post.

LEGO School Supplies for Back To School
We start back to school in 2 weeks around here and I’ve been thinking of adding a few LEGO school supplies to the mix for the girl. She’s just starting to get interested in writing and reading, so I’m hoping having some new things will get her motivated. I don’t really need a lot of
About The Family Brick
Have you noticed we’ve been blogging about LEGO for one year now? We’ve passed what I like to call the equivalent of the “7 year hump” of marriage in blog terms…and that’s pretty cool! If you noticed a lack of personal details on this blog, it’s been by design. I had no intentions of sharing
