LEGO Build Night


Photo-A-Day #3163

Today after I picked Eva up from school she asked what we would do together when we got home. This is often what she asks me when I pick her up. She likes to do reviews with me and is always excited to play with new toys. I have a couple of things but I was looking through the office closet the other day and saw that there were a bunch of LEGO building sets that we had from last Christmas that we hadn’t put together. So I got a vehicle builder set down and we sat at the table along with Andrew and began to build.

Eva built her own vehicles and I put together according to the instructions. We gave Andrew some of the extra pieces. He was doing great with it and putting together pieces easily. Once I built the vehicles that I was building I gave them to Andrew to play with. He was pretty happy with that. It kept him quiet for a little while.

Video Game Review: LEGO Friends

LEGO Friends Box Art

I was sent a copy of LEGO Friends for the Nintendo 3DS to play and review. Opinions of the game are 100% my own.

In our house we enjoy LEGO. We enjoy building from the LEGO sets and we enjoy the LEGO based video games. We’ve played the Batman 2, LEGO city Undercover and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on the Wii and Wii U. I liked LEGO city so much I bought the 3DS game when it came out. Those games are great and fun but Eva wasn’t as interested in playing them. She liked building Super Hero LEGO sets with me but really enjoys the LEGO Friends line. Now she can enjoy the LEGO friends as a game on the Nintendo 3DS. Here’s a quick game overview.
