Ever wonder how one little gift turns into a quest to own a massive pile of Legos.  And why was I not more aware of this growing obsession.  I need more, more, more, said the mad king.

Legos, Legos, Legos, you are everywhere and are quickly becoming mommy’s number one enemy.

Bins full of them, check.

Train table becoming a Lego table, check.

Stepping on random Lego pieces, check.

Home decor overtaken with Legos,check.

As any smart mom will tell you, strategically walk around the Lego store while shopping.  I have used them all.  No sweetie, I don’t think this mall has a Lego store.  Wow, look at that ice cream shop, said in panic as the bright Lego sign screams in front of us.  And my personal favorite the two person tag team.  This consist essentially of walling the boy off from any visual sitings.   Daddy usually walking quickly in front while mommy blocking the side view.  A well timed distraction is key.

Most importantly, if you happen to walk in the mall and  it’s an event day with major Lego replicas all over the mall….prepare yourself for the mother load.  There really is no turning back from that moment.  Remember ladies, the two person tag team is out the window because daddy is usually overboard as well.
