Mishka, I Love You!

By now, everyone knows how much I adore puppies. No matter the age, color or size, I love them all. Actually, I may or may not be quite partial to big puppies with huge paws.

Regardless, sometimes my idea of procrastinating and taking a break from doing homework often involves searching for cute puppy pictures or videos, and this is what I found in my recent Youtube search. Take a couple minutes to watch this adorable huskie.

Mishka, I love you!

Mishka, Are you stupid?

Do You Remember Playing with LEGOS?

Well I do!

Bionicles… Star Wars Death Star… Barbie’s castles… I may not be the world’s most talented architect, but I can assure you, I can spend an endless number of hours creating cars, houses, robots and more from those LEGO blocks.

And lucky me!

Two Saturdays ago, I had a chance to go to the LEGO KidsFest in Boston. To my surprise (and everyone else’s), movie characters, children’s book characters and scenes from popular TV shows – all made out of LEGOs – greeted children and parents at the door.

Incredible.

There were competition for the best original LEGO creation, display cases full of professional LEGO work and LEGO boxes… They don’t joke around. It was all about LEGO for all LEGO enthusiasts, no matter the age and gender.

I made at least 170 calls to complete this. Of course, did some major web stalking, too. Oh, and totally felt like Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness. I present you the complete list of Fourth of July Fireworks near Boston!!!
