Boys & toys.

Meet the other boys in my life.

Aren't they dashing? We spend most afternoons together. Usually from 2-3 while Max is napping.

Hello friends.

Sorry to say, they are not my favorite friends. 
Thinking we spent a good 30 minutes of quality time together this afternoon I glanced at the clock and noted it had only been 8 minutes. 8 really long minutes.
But I carried on conversations with these little people for another 30. 
Because, simply, it is Noah's favorite way to spend his day. 
He loves lego people. I love him. The things we do for love.

These guys here are my favorites. Boba Fett, Red Ninja, 
and the creepy guy in black manning the cannon ball.

I never get to be them though. I usually get designated to be swamp thing. (The attractive looking one 4th from the left). Sigh.

My light at the end of the long lego tunnel afternoons, is the smile on this boy's face. And the sudden moments he stops playing with his lego guys, looks at me playing beside him, and tells me he loves me.

Love you too buddy. 
 Even though you now have 30+ lego people... 
and you still make me be swamp thing.

The things we do for love.

Oh my! I had no idea he had so many peeps! I do that too. Not play with legos, but look at the clock to see how much time has passed. Then I feel guilty for thinking it has been WAY longer than it really was.

I can't stop giggling about the swamp thing! Too funny. Ryan is just getting into legos. Luckly the starter packs for tots only have one guy with a ton of legos. He's more interested in building. I've got some time, but now I know what to look forward too.

Cute, and is Geno the guy with the nice stache just to the left of the guy manning the catapult?
