Correction . . .

After looking at the photos, the shirt was made first inspiring the Lego Bat Cycle creation.

The Lego Batman Enthusiasm

My wife was doing the great Summer to Fall Clothing Swap she loves to do each year and came across a blank t-shirt for Isaac. Ding! Ding! Sharpie Shirt! And after playing with his new Batman Cycle, Isaac was very into Batman's adventures. So he decide he wanted a Lego Batman shirt. I went to the internet for inspiration and about 20 minute later, voila!

The Dark Knights Rides Again

We were at the store and Isaac saw the new Batman Lego set 7886: The Bat Cycle. He said "Daddy can we build that set?" I told him I would look at the instructions and let him know. Fortunately he already owns the Bat Boat and Bat Dragster sets so I had the right Batman pieces. Unfortunately once again I had all but two of the other pieces so I had to improvise. Here is what we came up with:

A bit bigger than the other cycle but I like how it turned out. I think he was too.

My iPod Boom Box

Here is another in the line of my Lego audio accessories. The Lego Boom Box. I built this spur of the moment after cleaning up after the mess of making the my Arcade Cabinet. I had the original speaker I was using before getting a good quality sound system from the guy I sit next to at work. So I made an iPod dock similar to an iHome.

I was surprised at the quality of the sound considering the sound was coming from the iPod and not being amplified by the speakers. This was the best part: no need to plug it in and I can take it anywhere. Also didn't have to worry about batteries for the speakers too. I also made it so it can hold my other MP3 player as well:

Lego Award Winners

My wife decided to have the kids enter there creations in the local fair this year. We looked through the fair book and found the Lego category. This excited both of them. My daughter decided to create the "Golden Castle" and proceeded to sort out all the yellow bricks she could find in our vast Lego collection. She spent at least a whole month adding and changing things until she came to this entry:

She was excited when we went to pick up the entries that she had won!

Meanwhile, my son could not decide on what he wanted to make. He put a bunch things together and would say, "I am going to enter this," and later tear it apart and create something different. So, the day we were going to take the entries to the fair he pulls this out:

And wins honorable mention as well to boot. I know probably everyone got this award that entered, but not the message I want to send to a 5 year old: throw it together at the last minute and you win. My wife agreed with me- not his best work.
