This is Nate’s entry for the Lego Challenge this week over at What Are We Doing Today Mom? Last week was a joint effort with Isaiah, so Nate’s photo is over on Lahni’s blog – you can see it here.

This week’s theme is animals, so Nate made this cute little dog. I thought it looked an awful lot like the one that came with one of the boys kits, so I asked if he used the instructions and he said no, but later admitted that he did look at the picture of the dog. So not that his little dog is amazing or anything, but to be fair, he was “inspired” by a Lego kit. It is a little different, but it’s not completely original.

If you have a kid that loves Lego, you should participate in Kristin’s cute boys Lego Challenge – check our her blog! There is a new theme every week.

Nathan’s robot: (When I asked him what his robot does, he told me that if you don’t have a home, this robot can turn into one for you.)

Jaxon’s uh, robot? (I have a feeling most of Jax’s creations will resemble race cars…)

Ah, the annual Canada Day shin-dig. Here are a few shots from the festivities.

My supa-fly cousin Kristin and her uber creative boys are hosting a really fun Lego Challenge over on her blog, What Are We Doing Today Mom? This week’s challenge theme was bugs and Nate wanted to make 3 for some reason. His official entry will be the first photo (Scoop Flyer) since he made that one all by himself. I helped him a little with the other two, but he came up with the names. We JUST got into Lego at our house, so we don’t have a lot, but the boys still had fun. Jax didn’t make anything this week – well he did, but it had wheels and when I asked him what kind of bug it was, he said, “It’s not a bug. It’s a car.” So maybe he’ll get in on the fun next time.

Feel free to join in on the fun! Not only is Kristin super talented, creative and COOL, she is also very nice.

My lovely and oh-so-talented friend Heidi took these photos of my kids a couple of months ago. Check out more of her super awesomeness on her blog and her website. It’s so nice to know so many talented photographers!
