Like many little boys, Warren is taking the trains-to-Legos ride through life. Right now, he loves, loves, loves to build things with Legos.
Since Ross moved into his own home last year, he's taken up woodworking. I thought he was kidding when he told me he was learning how to do it on YouTube...But then -- he made a pretty spiffy room divider shelf, then some nightstands for his room, then a bed for the kids' room.
This fall, he made a new dining room table.
WOW!! Right?
So -- I asked him if he could build a Lego table for Warren...and THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED...
 |
| Warren's Lego table is so big, it had to be assembled IN THE ROOM... |
 |
| It is BEAUTIFUL...with two big bins on each side, to hold the Legos... |
 |
| Ross put in a large center drawer, to hold pens, pencils, books, etc...(at some future date, he could make a flat top so it would be a desk). |
 |
| I was VERY CLEVER to cover it with a tablecloth -- just in case Warren ran into the room before we had a chance to make the big PRESENTATION. (and that happened) |
 |
| Warren KNEW it was a Lego Table...but he had to wait for hours to do the big UN VEIL... |
 |
| He COULD HARDLY WAIT to see what the table looked like!! |
 |
| And I have never seen a child more delighted with a gift... |
 |
| He could hardly wait to add the bags of Legos to the bins!! |
 |
| Lilly was almost as excited as Warren! (she received a 36" ART table -- for her new upstairs room). |
Here's the thing...the kids have always shared a little bedroom across the hall from our room. Even though the biggest room in the house (upstairs) is empty (except for when Mary comes to visit) -- and has a really nice full size bed.
But it's time for Lilly and Warren to have their own rooms...so Warren gets a Lego table for his room (he'll stay in the little room)...and, Lilly got an Art table for her new upstairs bedroom.
This big move will be A LOT OF WORK...and it'll be our big project during their winter break. I got a good start in the upstairs bedroom when I had to clear out LOTS OF STUFF so I could create the Christmas Escape Room...!!
But this room change will be our Big Winter Project...so...fingers crossed...
