My son is a Lego freak. He can play with them for hours and hours, without even taking a break to eat…or pee. I don’t mind, except when he leaves them everywhere and I walk over them with bare feet in the middle of the night. There are certainly worse ways he could spend his time. So, we’ve built up quite a massive Lego collection. I’m talkin’ thousands of Legos, seriously. I keep wondering, “What will we do once he’s ‘outgrown’ them?” We’ll remodel our kitchen, of course. And to save on labor, I will have my 7YO son be the builder. DCFS won’t be able to touch me on that one. I’ll just say he was “playing”. Check out the example below:

What would you have your underage labor…I mean, kid, build for you?

LOVE this – I was actually looking for a current solution since my boys still play w/ them…but those pics are pretty cool.
slave labor? they’re 4 and 2. They let the dog out, get the news paper and fetch me beer. no lie, they love it – “the blue can, mommy?” that’s right, my child. That’s right…

I would do this in a second! Not only is it awesome! But flame retardent! Lego’s don’t burn they just melt.

Funny thing. A readers sent me a link to this post. And I was all “I KNOW HER. She is my FRIEND”. Cracked me up.

When he is done building your kitchen, send him over here and I will have him build a table like that for me! Way cool!

That’s fantastic! You’ve got me thinking about how I can design a room around my son’s thousands of Lego pieces.

I just saw this post. How funny. I didn’t even see it when I wrote mine. Death to Legos. Seriously, I’m still stepping on them.
