I love our new home.
There are so many thing I love about it.
Don’t get me wrong, it has its share of quirks (squeaky pipes, weird
plumbing and terrible landscaping!), but overall, it has been a wonderful place
to be.
One of my favorite spots in our home is “The Lego Room”. Those of you who know me well, know that in
our previous home I had a constant battle with legos. Having three boys, two of which requested
legos for the last 7 years of birthdays, Christmases and all their spending
cash, we have acquired approximately a bagillion legos. I was always trying to come up with some way
to organize, contain and even use legos for decoration, but could never get
them quite under control.
When we moved into our new home, there were four bedrooms
upstairs, which meant that each boy could have their own room. Micah and Benjamin still wanted to share a
room, so we decided to make a play room out of the last room. The obvious choice was to have them share the
biggest room…but I was smart!! I
encouraged them to share one of the smaller bedrooms and make the bigger room
into the play room. Plan worked
great. They hardly spend any time in
their bedrooms, but they spend a whole lot of time in the Play Room.
It is wonderful!! They
have as much room to play Legos as they want.
And they fill the space!! It is
amazing. I can walk into the room and
the entire floor is covered in Legos!!
How the? What the? I don’t know, but one of my favorite things
to do on Sunday afternoons is to listen to those boys build. They sing, they chat, they play, they create
and they are happy. It is so fun to hear
and I try to take the time to soak in their complete contentment. I hope they will always be such great friends
and spend time together whether it’s building Legos or playing basketball or
eventually double dating. Their happy
place is my happy place.
I don’t know how long the Lego Room will last, but for now,
we’ll just enjoy…and sometimes, I might even catch a glimpse of the floor.
I also love having a spare bed for family sleepovers with cousins etc!! Makes me happy!
