Seasonal lego

Our new local Lego store offered free pumpkin mini-sets today. We got there just after 5pm and hung out for an hour with Melody and her kids. Friends transform waiting into fun and it didn't feel nearly as long as it was.



Once the kids got started, it took them about 2 minutes to build their pumpkins.


Not surprisingly, they started wishing they could buy/get something. But, we had talked about it before leaving the house, and they both did a good job of reining in their feelings and we left without incident and without buying anything.

The twilight sky was amazing and enchanted us the whole drive home.

Nice pair of pumpkins you got there!

Looks like it was a good lesson in patience yesterday. Good for you for standing ground and not purchasing anything. Plus, they didn't walk away empty handed. I think the Lego pumpkins are very cute.
