Lego Minifigure Christmas stories

My boys HATE to write.  They just hate it.

When they see writing assignments on the table the moan and groan and put them off until they just can't put them off anymore.

I was hopeful that when I found these Christmas Themed Lego Prompts my boys would be inspired to write.

While I can not say that they were cheering or happy to write I will say that they were willing to write.  That in and of itself is a small Christmas miracle.  Their stories were sweet and cute and I thought I'd share them with you today.

While my boys did fill up the entire page while writing, once I started typing them up I realized that they're super short but I figured baby steps... baby steps.  At least I got them to write and laugh!

Story #1:  Prompt:  You can be a minifig in any Lego creation you wish.  Which one do you choose and why?


  • I would be a penguin minifig.  I would want to be part of the Avenjet Space Mission Set.  Then I could go into space and fly a spaceship. 
I guess you have to be a penguin to fly!

Story #2:  Prompt: You are  a Lego minifig Christmas ornament hanging on the tree.  It's the night before Christmas.  What do you see?


  • I see cookies and milk being eaten by a man with a red suit and black boots.  Then the man leaves boxes of colorful paper?  I close my eyes, I see my Lego lovers (I'm pretty sure they I'm the reason they love Legos) running down the stairs and ripping the paper to shreds!  I see toys in the paper!
I just love that he actually thought to write that sentence inside parenthesis! 

Story #3:  Prompt: Describe what a Lego Christmas cookie looks and tastes like.  
  • A Lego Christmas cookie looks like a brown tire with a hole in the middle.  It sort of tastes like peanut butter and pine sap. I hate them myself, but other Lego minifigs love them.  Like my grandma.  
Not bad, right?

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Alec's Accepted Student Day at JWU

Image
Last spring when Alec started his college planning I was pretty surprised that he only wanted to visit 2 colleges out of state (he visited a few in-state with his high school culinary class).  He ultimately decided to apply to just the 2 colleges we visited-- Johnson and Wales University (JWU) and the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Both ranked as the #1 & #2 schools in the U.S for culinary and baking/pastry arts. Funny enough out of his 2 culinary teachers he's had in high school one attended each of those schools!  Photo of harborside campus from last spring JWU Future wildcat photo also from last spring Visiting the CIA over the summer We were lucky that both schools are easily visited in a day and we had a great time touring them both. Alec made sure to ask lots and lots of questions. The two schools were so comparable to one another that we had quite the pro/con list going.  He LOVED the CIA's campus and that it was along a river and rather rural and quiet... but

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
