The older kids have Knex at Veg's school to practice building working Gears and such... Well Veg always wondered why he couldn't have any... For 1 they are expensive and for 2 he has enough Lego sets to build a football stadium and we didn't need more building sets.....Not to mention, they are for older kids...
But last month while at the store I found two sets for more then 1/2 off... as in really really cheap...I called NeeNee and she said "BUY THEM" and so I did.... And when Veg opened the boxes (one small one last night and big one today) he went CRAZY!!! Seriously, bouncing off the walls CRAZY!! Last night he built a boat, motorcycle, helicopter, all by himself. And they are NOT EASY!!! This morning he started on this Roller Coaster...
After the first square, we realized this was a job for DADDY!!! And hense became his project... Took the boys 8+ hours, a little blood, a little family friendly cursing, and very sore fingers later, and they finished ! Veg wanted it working by bedtime... And working it was!! SOOO COOL!!
Well, until the chain fell off... A hand built chain by the way with 190 pieces.... Hubby got it fixed, and The two roller coaster cars go zipping along this thing. Very fun to watch.
THANK YOU NEENEE!!!
Veg goes to sleep and says "can I take it a part tomorrow and build another one" UMMMM NO!!! Hubby said he couldn't take it apart for at least 2 weeks. ha ha... I know Veg will be counting down the days.
