I have always loved building blocks, Lincoln Logs, etc. but I didn't
discover Legos until 3 years ago!!! Absolutely fell in love with them even

insisted all I wanted for Xmas, birthday, etc. was Lego. I couldn't get
enough! Every night building a new set.. especially boats, castles, western,
and model team.
Legos actually have brought great joy and closeness in my family. I feel
very creative playing with Legos and this enthusiasm has been passed on to
my boys. They use them for school projects (once a very unimaginative,
burned out teacher gave my son a C for an Egytian Pyramid 3 feet tall he
built for 6th grade history. He had built separate chambers and secret
passageways throughout the pyramid) She thought Legos were not a good
learning tool for kids. Boy, did she get an earfull from me!! Got the grade
changed to an A when she realized how hard he worked to design it. Jody
