For Christmas my son wanted all things Lego.  Lego video games, Lego sleep ware, Lego books etc etc.    Now I think Lego’s are a fantastic idea for kids because you have to read the instructions carefully and learn to follow directions.  All of which my 6 year old has a very hard time doing .  So in the end it was mom and dad ended up putting together this 948 piece Lego set.  Thankfully it was only 948 pieces because after a trip to the Lego store last weekend we discovered some Lego sets have more than 4,000 pieces lol.  It’s kind of funny because when I was growing up in the 80′s Lego’s were around but kids really did not play with them and I cannot recall ever asking for Lego’s as a child.  An d the prices for some of these sets are ridiculous!!  Apparently this castle must be a hot item because I see the set listed on Ebay for close to $150!   Maybe I am just becoming an old grumpy curmudgeon because at that price I would expect it to come pre-built out of the box lol.    At the end of the day my son was happy and that is what really counts!
