Primus' Petition Part Three

    A funny discovery occurred today. The kiddos and I were hanging around Target while Mrs. P was getting her last California cut and color for her birthday (Happy Birthday, Mrs. P!). She figured it would take about an hour and a half (actually 2 + hours, but I digress). We didn't really have any specific plans, so I thought it might be a good idea to look at Target and get some ideas on area rugs, since the houses we are looking at off base in Anchorage have hard floors. Also I wanted Pretty Girl to look at some bedding, since she will have a new bigger bed when we finally get unpacked. And, being the procrastinator that I am, we needed to pick up some birthday cards as well.
    Of course, once we were in the store, Primus made a beeline for the toy section, specifically the legos, and most specifically, the Star Wars Legos. Guess what we found?
    That's right. . . the Lego Millenium Falcon is now for sale at Target!
    And now the Saga is complete. Great struggles, anxiety, pains, plans, proposals, counter-proposals, a trip south to the great Mecca that is Legoland, and now, lesson learned; Be sure and check your local Target and be patient when looking for that next Lego set. It will come, just not when you want it to!

Primus Petition . . . Part 2

    A couple of weeks ago, I posted about my son's letter he was thinking of sending to Lego, and the reasons behind it.

   Since then, we went on vacation, and he had the opportunity to visit Legoland!

   

  If you are a fan of anything Lego and are ever in Southern California, be sure and check it out. Here are some pics to give you an idea of how cool it is!

One of Connor's favorite areas was the newly added Star Wars section, featuring displays from each of the movies, as well as the Clone Wars cartoon.

 It got to the point where I gave up taking pictures, because I was afraid I would use up the memory card and we wouldn't get out of there before the park closed. The attention to detail on the models was extraordinary.

    Guess what we found in the Lego store at Lego Land? A Lego Millenium Falcon! Hooray for Connor! This will be his birthday present, and required a pitch-in from Grandma to help cover the cost.
