Toy of the Week Tuesday

It's a gloomy, not raining yet kind of day. Which is okay actually. I don't mind a little rain and truthfully I was in need of an inside day. (I hope it rains enough for the weed roots in my sidewalk that I killed about a week ago to loosen up enough to remove them from the sidewalk.) But even though it's not raining currently it is dark enough outside that I had to turn on lights.

And you wouldn't know this about me, but I have an aversion to turning on lights even in the dark. So that's telling you something. Inside play it is today.

The toy of the week is the MegaBloks. Oh my goodness. Every last detail about them is fun. The fact you can build a car--that is fun. Putting them back in the bag? Pretty good stuff. Dumping the whole bag out all over the floor? That's even better. Conning Mom and Dad into building a giant tower to be knocked over? Um... you might as well call the fun police that's how awesome the MegaBloks are.

We have this set. I think I am glad he got this one for his birthday and not one of the themed sets. It encourages more creative play. Don't get me wrong, the construction site set looks darling, and I am certain it would be an instant hit. But I like the just building towers and running around with a piece in each hand right now. 

So we are listening to our favorite Pandora station (currently Annette Funicello) and playing this morning. Love it.
