Max's Lego Party

Max is 5... we celebrated with friends and family and Lego craziness. He loved it. We played pin the head on the Lego man, a Lego straw-sucking game, and guess how many and also created Lego cars and then raced them. He requested Pigs in the Blanket and Cheetos for dinner. So delicious and healthy! He was so happy to have Will and Barry in on the fun and watch a movie with them afterwards. When the movie was over, Brig was getting ready to take them home and Will came to me and said, "I didn't think that movie was very bad. My mom wouldn't let us watch it because it was bad." I was thinking, "Oh no... I didn't think it was either but I had let Brig pick it out and use his judgment!" After telling Heidi sorry... we discovered 'bad' meant 'no good and not worth watching' instead of 'not appropriate.' Max plays with Legos for hours a day. He is a bit obsessed and has been submitting his work to the Lego magazine with the hopes of winning a competition (and cash for more Legos). He got some cash for his birthday and has been telling me how rich he is, even richer than Dad he says. This may be true for now. We love this guy. He is so competitive (and hasn't yet learned to lose gracefully) and keeps us making good choices. He loves the story of the good wolf/bad wolf and asks me often which one is winning. He tells us when we are doing something (like on the computer) that isn't important that God is more important and we need to remember Him. When I tell him I will be sad when he starts kindergarten, he reminds me that I have 3 more kids that will still be home and he won't stay all day. He is getting ready for his 3rd soccer season and starting karate soon. He loves to learn, do crafts, get his Kindle time, and watch Ninjago. He loves Baby Aya to death and is the first one in the morning kissing her and snuggling by her. If she sleeps too long, he begs me to wake her up. (Wonder where he gets that from.)
