Lego Star Wars Never Saw This Coming

My oldest son, Mini me, has a deep and ardent affection for Legos. He also has a particular preoccupation with all that is Star Wars.


Here's what you get when he puts the two together:







I know,
it's exactly what you expected, isn't it?






Please notice with me the numerous books and the pencil laying on the, um, storm trooper's computer desk. And Obi-Wan Kenobi keenly standing behind overseeing the progress. The book on the left corner of the desk says, "Star Wars Episode I." And the pencil is actually a piece of lead (I know it's graphite now, but we still call it lead...go figure) that fell out of one of his pencils that day. I wonder if that was his inspiration...? Stranger things have happened. Especially with him.

You posted a comment on my fizzled, but now revived blog ... http://gutsyentrepreneurs.blogspot.com/ and seeing your comment I linked to your blog. My son, who will turn 11 this month, is obsessed with the Star Wars Legos. I'll have to show him your son's creations. I'm home from church with a sick child. Anyway, his birthday is this month and he's having all his buddies bring their light sabers, camp out in the back yard, and watch a Star Wars movie (drive in style) projected on the back of the house. He wants a Darth Vader cake. We found a cool Darth Vader helmet thing at Goodwill that changes your voice to sound like Darth Vader. We teach worldview seminars so it's slightly disconcerting to encourage interest in movies that teach zen ... but there are lessons to learn! Right?

Hahaha!! I don't know how I missed this but so glad I found it this time. I love his imagination! And what's this thing in the background that says Grandma's favorite? It must be good whatever it is. :P

How creative! I had to laugh at myself though. My first thought was that maybe the Star Wars guy was sitting at his desk blogging. LOL
