...other fun. This post should be sub-titled, "Stay-cation, part 1". This past week we had originally planned to be back at the lake in NC, but ended up needing to stay near home, so hubby and I planned a bunch of fun things to do with the kids.
Enter, day 1: last Sunday we drove out to the Dulles Expo Center for
Brickfair, which is officially called a "LEGO fan festival". Now, I am not particularly a lego fan. Or fanatic. Although perhaps a little crazy about legos, especially when I step on the tiny pieces that blend into the carpet, or when I can't find a horizontal surface in the family room to put a drink down on. Seriously, though, my hubby is a fanatic of the good kind, and is busy growing up the kids into little lego fanatics as well. Even while I am typing today, they are in the kitchen, making a new creation at the kitchen table. But I digress...
So, away to the Lego festival we went. And it really was fun, and fascinating to see all the crazy things that people spend hours and hours building with legos. Not so different, perhaps, from me spending a year, off-and-on, knitting a sweater. So, I kinda get it. And they are pretty neat to look at. See?

Day 2 of our stay-cation was a long-awaited trip to see "Cars 2" at the theater...the little guy's first theater movie ever! He had a great time, as did we all. Its a clever movie, the popcorn was as yummy as ever, and a great escape for a few hours of fun. Stay tuned for the rest of our crazy week....
That looks amazing! I can't wait until the boys are older and we can take them to stuff like that (well I can but you know what I mean ;~)
