Lazy Lego Saturday

 You know it's going to be a good day when it starts with two sticks of butter, a cup of sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla!  An awesome recipe from the Pioneer Woman.

Mix together....

...spread on the bread with a smile....

 ...bake for 10 minutes, then broil til golden brown.

 The morning was nearly ruined by this bowl of fruit that Nicole made!

Time to get out the new Lego Police Station. 783 pieces on the table, on the floor, in the mouths of the babies and so on. 

The first stage of the building...

...add another garage and a K9 unit, notice the dog behind the door...

...cells on top for those hardened Lego criminals...

...half way done, now time for the offices...

...complete.  We also had some other kits with police and rescue themes including the helicopter on top.

Just another day in Lego town.

The master builders.
