Legos & Star Wars... A Dangerous Combination...

First, you have to know my daughter loves loves loves Legos... and along with Legos she also loves... Star Wars... so when you put this combination together... it can be a bit hard to go to into a Target or Walmart store without stopping by the toy section without the agreement... we're not buying anything today... to which I know she's secretly hoping I'll cave and let her get just one thing... another Lego-Star Wars kit. Sure there are a lot of other toys she has her eye on, but this combination is hard for her to pass by without giving me that longing glance of... please mama!!! And well, most times I'm good... but there are times when I see that longing glance and... it melts my heart.... and I cave.

Second, you have to know that during Spring and the beginnings of Summer... we were inundated with Lego Land commercials... and what is one of their newest attractions... a miniature Star Wars Lego Land.... who knew!! So over the course of several months all I heard was... "Mom, can we go to Lego Land?"... or... "Mom, when are we going to Lego Land"... or...  "Do you think we can go to Lego Land, mom, they have a new Star Wars section and I really want to go... can we?"... or... "MOM! MOM! Come quick... I want to go there... can we go mama, can we???"

So this summer during Steve's vacation we surprised Rainee and took her to Lego Land!!! Once there, Rainee couldn't wait to to see the Star Wars Miniature Lands... as you can tell by her huge grin... this was one of her favorite moments at Lego Land. We had an 'out-of-this-world' time!!!

For this layout, I used just a few of the Star Wars Miniature photos... and the sketch from SketchyThursday... I love how it turned out, but more importantly... Rainee loves it, and can't stop looking at it...

Well, that's it for today... enjoy your Tuesday!!!
