et tu Legos?

Even Legos have cleavage now and belly-bearing tops! Really?!We were at the Lego store recently to get MY birthday present which was a Christmas set (We put it together Thanksgiving weekend. I am hoping it will be a yearly tradition, and it looks like a nice decoration!) Anyway, at the Lego store, for $9 you can put together and buy 3 figures from heads, tops, bottoms etc. It kept M busy for half an hour or so. These were the only pink ones, so M of course made these. Ack...We are having a blast with legos though. My in-laws shipped out dh's old childhood Legos which was amazing. By far it's the toy she has played with the most hours, and has had the best time with her Dad.  M is getting good at building the complex sets, having gotten her first one for her Birthday from Gramma and Grandpa, and it's something we all like to do together. I have to admit I don't have a lot of patience for playing house, or pretending to be a Kitty, but I can sit and build legos with her for hours, and so can my husband. M also makes planes and farms, and houses, and cars and trucks, so it's not all pink... A fluffy, pain-med post, so there may be more grammar and spelling errors than usual!Post-tonsil and food update... All the stuff they tell you to get, popsicles, juice, gatorade, jello-  hurts! I had a plain scrambled egg this morning, and am now working on a little milkshake :) So far, the recovery feels manageable, and I am grateful for health insurance, pain meds, my daughter- who has been incredibly thoughtful and kind, and my dh who is working from home and tolerating my frequent texts requesting various things...  It's  like the modern day version of that 70's sitcom scenario, you know, when a Brady kid gets his tonsils out and drives everyone crazy with that little bell? You remember that theme? And now, will try to nap... The meds are kicking in :)
